As you can see this is somewhat like a ripoff of the music #1 on your birthday thread; why shouldn't we have a movie one!
This should be a better random way to pick and watch movies..lol

Well the day I was born (Oct 20th; 1988)..the movies playing in the theater was..
October, 14- Pumpkinhead , The Accused , The Kiss , Another Woman

And the year's best movie was.. Rainman
Also...Die Hard, Rambo 3, Big, Young Guns, Child's Play, Land Before time..etc

Since I've watched most of the movies..off to watch "Another Woman" and after that "The Kiss" lol.
