I think you're mixing them up with bluedeed.

No, I'm not kidding. Dumb and Dumber IS one of my favorite films of all time. Obviously it's no work of art, but I love it to bits, and it's one of my two guilty pleasures that will be part of this list. It's one of the first films I remember seeing (it must have been around 2000 and I must have been about seven), and I still love it as much as I did the first time. I haven't seen the film in ages, but I must have seen it at least 20 times in the last 10 years and each time I watched it, it was like hanging out with two old friends. If I saw it this year for the first time, in all likelihood I would have given it the mark f rating. But because I watched it (and rewatched it) during what was probably the happiest period of my life, I just can't not feel nostalgic about it.


Have never understood all the love for this movie. I don't think it's funny at all...the Ferrelly Brothers had much better luck with There's Something About Mary and Me, Myself, and Irene.

Midnight in Paris was my first Woody Allen film, and I've seen many of his films since. Some came close, but none were as good, sincere and heartwarming as this film. Owen Wilson gives what is one of my favorite acting performances of the decade so far, and it's incredible how much I could relate to his character, even though I'm not as crazy about the 20s, Picaso or Hemingway.


As much as I enjoyed Midnight in Paris, I hard time accepting the fact that you think it's Woody's best film. I'm curious as to what other Woody movies you have seen?
