Saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share here. :)

1) The Princess Bride
2) Stardust
3) A Dog's Purpose
4) The Truman Show
5) Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2


Make of the list what you will :whistle:
Fear is a choice you embrace
Your only truth
Tribal poetry
Witchcraft filling your void
Lust for fantasy
Male necrocracy
Every child worthy of a better tale

She revelled in adventure and imagination.
She never listened to no hater, liar,
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.
Oh, my my! Oh my, she flies!

The movies I listed describe me in the sense that their themes/messages allign with my own or have had a strong influence on my life.
Example: The Mummy exemplifies both my love for history and fantasy.
ST First Contact does the same for my love for Sci-fi.

I cannot do that, this is a public forum.
