29. Nah, not the blind swordsman.
You know there's a whole bunch of those?

I've tried to watch it, but I can't stay interested. I feel such shame.

18. My friend is one of the obsessed fans of that film.
I like the film a lot, but my friend Forrest can recite the entire script by memory. He bought a VHS tape of it directly from Russ Meyer in person, and he autographed for him (and my friend paid him something around $80 for the tape). This was long before it came out on DVD. My friend says he has watched it more than 50 times. I have only seen it about 6, possibly 7 times and I watch it again about every 12 to 18 months, usually when someone's here who has never seen it.

24. Ah great movie!
I got that one and watched it on a flight I had a couple weeks ago, it was way more entertaining than whatever they were showing as the inflight movie. Simon Pegg kicks ass!

27. "The Punisher" is good. Also, John Woo's older stuff is over-the-top
violent.
