  6. Breakfast at Tiffany's
  7. Vertigo/Rear Window
  8. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Golden Ticket Day is my birthday!)
  9. Un chien andalou/L' Âge d'or (If you've never seen a Salvador Dali movie, you don't know what you're missing)

Word, Ash, word. Some people aren't so sure about what you're vibing on here, though. Check it out:

Randall Ingber:
Dear Ted,
I think there should be a section of www.tedstrong.com where we can write in and make comments on things.
I, for one, would like to call bullsh-t on Ashley Dyer's silly, pretentious list of movies. Anyone who knows Ashley knows that he is simply pretending to be sophisticated and hyper-intellectual, when in fact his real movie tastes are closer to Bachelor Party and Mr. Mom. Ashley: Get real.

Deren Baker:
I feel compelled to comment on Ashley's ridiculous list. For example: Ashley has tons of weird unamerican symbols in his choices. If you need umlots, accent marks or movies with different names for different languages, get them the hell out of this list. Plus, he chose Buffalo 66 which stars that freaky looking guy (Vincent Gallo) who looks like he's never taken a shower in his life. Randy's right - who the hell does that guy think he is?

tedstrong.com:
Like I said, Ash, word. If it's worth anything: I prefer your list to Rand-Dan-Dandy's and Deren's. Word out.

While I feel compelled to defend myself, I really see no need when faced by two idiots who saw Muppet's Treasure Island three times (see Deren's movie list). All you need do is check out Randy and Deren's Top Ten and you know the caliber of the people dissing me (and, yes, I did use the word "dis"). Anyone attempting to be an intellectual obviously wouldn't drink as much as I do.
Love,
Ashley
