WTF? No "The Color Purple"? of all the movies they have listed I cannot believe that's not on the list.

Of the list, I have seen all of them except:
14. Crumb (1995)
75. Out of Africa (1985) (which I REFUSE to ever watch in my life due to it winning best picture over "The Color Purple".
90. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

I own more than 3/4th of the movies... sad I know.

Thankfully, I do know that I am missed. I just have this whole "can't bother others" right now feeling. Once I start feeling better (see my last post) maybe I can meet you out somewhere. If you want to give me a call sometime my current cell number is 717-645-8060.
