A Clockwork Orange - that movie is good, but TOO intense. I've never been able to watch it again

being in prison is one of my fears, too! which is why One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was so hard for me - lobotomy, electrocution, and being imprisoned (not exactly in a prison, but still) - it was like every fear I have at once.

Capote [I have always loved Hoffman, and never more than in this.] - OMG, I SO AGREE!!!!!!!

I should just do this, but the list is so long it's intimidating.... and I haven't seen very many movies at all...

To be fair, I wouldn't normally take the time to do something like this, but it's a lazy day at stonebender's, and now that the acrobatic sex is over, we've got all the time in the world to laze around. :-)

You just never know what those low-libido women might do!

Damn right! We're dangerous!

(If this is low libido, I would be genuinely frightening with a high libido.)
