In an earlier #TwitterMigration phase, the #7FilmsToKnowMe intro went around. It was fun. I found some people to follow who shared my tastes.

I was delighted to find others who loved Albert Brooks' "Defending Your Life".

Anyway, if that was you--my housemate spotted this thing today and gave it to me. Now I give it to you.

This one was hard, because I enjoy nearly every movie I watch and I don't really have favorites. So I am focusing on a specific time in my young adult life when I didn't have cable (I still don't have cable 😆), so I watched the same small collection of VHS tapes over and over.

1. Mallrats
2. Empire Records
3. Clueless
4. Amelie
5. The City of Lost Children
6. The 5th Element
7. Men in Black
