MR BLOCKBUSTER

I must have over 500 dvds at home. I'm what you would call a movie fanatic. Lately I've been thinking about movies I saw as a kid and even made-for-tv movies I really enjoyed. Here are a couple to see if you've ever seen them.

(1) The Ultimate Lie - starring Kristin Davis who plays a spoiled young rich girl who rebels against her parents by becoming a call girl; however, one night she arrives at a hotel for a "rendezvous" with a client and discovers to her horror that the client is none other than her father. Yes total Lifetime movie... so unable to find now.

(2) The Quest - starring Henry Thomas (from E.T.) who plays a U.S. orphan who with the help of his girlfriend explore the aboriginal legend of a lake monster in Australia.

(3) Deadly Friend - starring Kristy Swanson and Matthew Laborteaux (the cutie from Little House in the Praire) is about Paul who is a new kid in town with a robot named "BB". He befriends Samantha and the three of them have a lot of good times together. That is, until Samantha's abusive father throws her down some stairs and kills her. In an effort to save her life, Paul implants BB's computer brain into Samantha's human brain.

(4) Fortress - with Rachel Ward is about an Australian school teacher and her students are kidnapped by masked men. She and the children fight for their lives and try to escape from their captors. This movie use to creep me out big time as a kid.

(5) Square Dance - with Winona Ryder and Rob Lowe. Gemma is 13 years old and lives with her grandpa in the country, she has for many years. One day her mother shows up, and wants to take Gemma to the city. Her mother is married now, and can provide for Gemma. Gemma goes with her mother. In the city she gets to know Rory, a mentally retarded boy. They play together, imagining that they are married.

I have about 40 right now that I'm trying to get my hands on. Do you all remember these?

I'm terrible about remembering movie names, so my not remembering them may not mean a lot.

That's quite a collection you have! We buy very few movies. We rent from Netflix, but it's rare that we make a movie purchase.
