Caarmora I like your choices of Armageddon and Cleopatra.

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.

Bruce Willis in anything is a good movie! (Actually, I'd prefer to see him in nothing! :oops: :wink: ) It's a chick thing, guys, so back off! :| :wink: :lol:
