Jul. 5th, 2009 03:45 pmToday in 1937, Spam was introduced into the market by the Hormel Foods Corporation. I can't help believing things like Spam, Velveeta and hot dogs are part of a horrible alien conspiracy to kill us off and leave the planet undefended.

In other news, my dear friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
faithhunter's newest book, Skinwalker, is on bookstore shelves right now! If you want a great summer read, trust me, you'll like this.
I am a movie freak. Not an aficianado - I can't sit and discuss the merits of a film's cinematography compared to its remake, or argue in favor of the Italian version over the French. I read an article today about how tempting the sale DVD rack is - how even movies that no one else liked are somehow attractive when they cost $5. It's quite true - I've bought a number of movies that no one else will watch with me, because they were on sale. Yes, I'm a huge fan of movies. Heist films, especially. Let me run across a rerunning of Ocean's Eleven (original or remake - I like them both), The Italian Job or Snatch and I'll drop whatever I'm doing to watch. Not just those, though. I can also be completely distracted by the Lord of the Rings trilogy, 300 or Kelly's Heroes. to name a few.
So I'm curious - what movies will halt you in your tracks?
