A couple of general notes:
- This is not an exhaustive list.
- I've finally accepted the fact that I sort of have the musical taste of an adolescent girl. My wife used to watch "The O.C.," and at the end of every episode they would pimp the music they played therein...and there were always a few albums that I had just acquired. Helped my ego tremendously.
- I'm a complete movie snob. I apologized in advance if I offend anyone by trashing one of your faves.
- The Goonies is simply the reason I like movies. It's the first one I can remember getting excited to go see, and for weeks afterward I desperately wished that I would find a network of caves and pirate ships somewhere in my neighborhood, despite living in relatively landlocked northeast Indiana.
