Favorite Spielberg Movie

[sodascouts]

Definitely Raiders of the Lost Ark. Awesome movie: great action, comedy, romance - and Harrison Ford was so hot in it!

Was Tim Curry not the most frightening clown EVER?!

I even had a hard time watching Rocky Horror after seeing that scary ****, and Rocky Horror is my favorite.

The part where was in between those sheets int he beginning was horrifying. And then he killed the kid on her tricycle.

Clue is one of the greatest comedies and I just bought the directors cut of Legend from Columbia House. Along with Romeo Is Bleeding with the amazing Lena Olin!

Sorry, I guess I've never understood the whole clown-phobia thing. Sharks on the other hand...

May 30, 2004 -- YOU might want to think twice before forking over your hard-earned cash to certain celebrity charities.

An investigation into celebrity-fronted charitable foundations by industry watchdog Charity Navigator found that nearly half of them did a mediocre or downright miserable job of distributing funds to the programs they were supposed to support in 2003. The group evaluated the charities' tax returns on the basis of money spent on administrative costs and fund-raising versus the amount that actually went to those in need.

Steven Spielberg's (right) Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, for instance, scored only one star on a scale of zero to five. The foundation, which seeks to preserve Holocaust awareness, spent 30 cents of every dollar it raised on administration, roughly three times the industry average. It also managed to lose $6 million last year.

Cher's charity is one of the biggest scams, too. And that 9/11 telethon that all those celebs were involved in raised $220 million, but not even $50 million actually went to benefit the 9/11 fund. Crooked bastards.

That's a travesty. On top of that Bush naver gave them the money he promised them. The complete article does list good charities. Jerry Lewis and Bill Cosby's are among the good ones. I think alot of it depends on who's running it and how the funds are administered.

Yeah, and Bush also didn't give Africa the $3 billion he promised them to fight AIDs, either.

I know. Africa is of no interest to him or his special interest friends, I'm sure. In fact, didn't he get pissed off at O'Neill after his trip to Africa with Bono?

Yep, the clown is MEGA scary, but the ending (won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it) is LAME-O!!!

Christian Bale as Batman...I AM THERE BABY!!

Clue is one of my favorite movies. I can't count how many times I saw it as a kid.

Remember how they had a different ending for the movie, depending on which theater you saw it in? I loved that. The DVD has all of the endings on it, too.

I adore that movie. *sigh*

[wondergirl9847]

I saw the movie on video, I didn't see it at the theater, but I was told by my cousins, who DID see it in the theater, that it had different endings. When I saw it on video, I saw all the endings.

"To make a long story short..."

"Too late."



"I said shake, rattle and roll...." LOVE that for the ending credits song!
