I present to you, my fair readers, a comprehensive list of the movies I own, with quotes that I am ashamed to say I could do from memory. Some of them are obvious, some aren't, it's just whatever grabbed me. The rest will come as I see them again, or as I decide which ones to put in. I wish I could say that I don't know movies like "Footloose" and "Grease" by heart, but I do. I'll have to wait for inspiration on those. Enjoy your peek through my video cabinet.
