> > > This is for all of those people who replied to my post asking what the best movie ever is. I say Pulp Fiction. Anyway, the most irritating part was that one of the most common responses was You've Got Mail. What are you guys thinking? Let me tell you that I say that on an airplane and it was quite possibly the worst movie ever. So, if you agree with me, feel free to express yourself.

> It wasn't the worst movie ever, it actually *had* a plot, a feature which some films lack. However, it certainly treaded on no new ground. It followed a simplistic, overdone formula meant to tug at the heart strings. The whole story is contrived; is there really any doubt to anyone that they *won't* end up together by the end? Anyone who didn't see that coming were probably also quite shocked when the ship sank in 'Titanic'.

I'd like the chance to explain why I included it. First of all, I did say that it was a list of my favorites, not necessarily a pick for best movie ever. Secondly, it was good. The story-line may have been a little sugary-sweet, but it was the first time I've ever seen a movie about an on-line romance. And so it was different. Plus, I am, like I said, a big fan of Tom Hanks. And Meg Ryan is cool too. Just thought I'd clarify that.
