Sorry if it's irritating to anybody that I'm aping stuff from the music section, but I just like to see the movie editions of those threads to see everybody's tastes in the medium that I specialize in. Besides, it gets some activity in here.

I'll work on mine and post it soon.

I don't understand the love Pineapple Express gets here, I found it about as funny as a burning orphanage

I didn't think my love of those films was unknown, although 2008 is a year I admittedly need to see more films from. Honestly the weakest film on my list imo is Funny Ha Ha.

Pineapple Express might be the funniest film of the 21st century so far

Sodacake · **Posted:** Wed Mar 07, 2012 11:18 am

Piper, you're the only person here I've seen give Attack The Block some love.

Quinnsy Lohan · **Posted:** Wed Mar 07, 2012 11:18 am

Nah. Hot Fuzz, Black Dynamite, In the Loop etc. all beat it.
