Well, that really made my night last night ...
Missed the first couple of minutes, and no blank tapes to hand, but watched the rest of it. I knew I liked it, but I'd forgotten how much.

Oh, and some stonking quotes ...
1 Especially if you are the devil in God, The Devil, and Bob
2 Including, inter alia, Strange Days, The Princess Bride, Drive, Redline, and Death Machine. I would proabably come up with some more, given more time, and concerted effort, although I'd probably need to expand to a top 25 ...
