Sedulous I had a good one until I read Subvet's comment about Cool Hand Luke being a "chick flick" Even I can't stretch my imagination THAT FAR! I'll get back to you on it.
Glad SOMEONE agrees with me. Of course, I keep trying to convince Subvet that the Dirty Dozen reference makes Sleepless in Seattle a guy movie!
