Big Trouble in Little China
Signs
Willow
To Kill a Mockingbird

I've got to agree there. See Bruce Willis in Die Hard if you want a good action movie. Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense is a good dose of him, too.

Post by **caamora** » Thu Jul 31, 2003 6:35 pm

Bruce Willis in anything is a good movie! (Actually, I'd prefer to see him in nothing!

) It's a chick thing, guys, so back off!
