A link is not a contribution, particularly when it links to an overlong list.  Also, overlong lists I had already commented upon.  Why don't you read the thread and type up your list of top 10?   :smile:

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Well, IRSISRSRI, I think you miss my point.  Since I started the thread, I feel a responsibility to read everyone's postings and click on any links, etc.  I did review your list of films rated by you at IMDB, however, I don't perceive that as a list of "favorites" necessarily, whether it be 10 or 374, and more to the point, who the hell else is going to click on your link?  I'm merely trying to encourage exchange.  Forums should be about dialogue and sharing.  Smartass.   :wink:
