    Gandalf is my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings movies. Never been a fan of his Magneto. The last X-Men was boring, and the cast looked bored too. Cats was bad. I pick on my girlfriend for making us watch it.

    “Yooouu cannot paaass!” Gandalf & Magneto at the UMR, nice.

    I’ve seen 22 of the 44 films on the chart, more than I thought. Favorites are – The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit trilogy, The X-Men series, The Golden Compass, Stardust, The Da Vinci Code, Flushed Away, Last Action Hero, The Keep and The Shadow.

    I still haven’t dared look at Cats, but I’m tempted, can’t be that bad surely. 🙂

    Nice work Bruce. Vote Up!
