no...don't kill them. Make them watch it. If they don't like it, well, that's just sad...either that or they don't get satire. BTW S(t)ankofa, Wingsman Thomas Hayden Church is playing the Sandman in the upcoming Spider-Man 3. I'd say that's pretty big.

The Indiana Jones Trilogy
The Princess Bride
Back To The Future
Roger Dodger
Saving Private Ryan
Animal House
Goonies
Forrest Gump
Apollo 13
Pretty much anything by Pixar (I say pretty much because I haven't seen Finding Nemo or Cars yet, but I imagine I will love them too)
Spider Man I and II
X-men I and II, I'm still undecided on the 3rd one

I pretty much stuck with lighter fare because it seems like most of the heavier stuff has been covered.

the reason you did not enjoy the film is because it is not a very good film

duets is!

I LOVED Duets. That was a GREAT movie!

ah, you decided to pass on the SS and FF methods in favor of the ZS.

ZS of course standing for zach smith. the guy who doesnt like the stones and therefore has no order - and thus direction - in his life.

jk. for old times sake, zach. im still pondering the sy mix.
