I’ve been talking to a guy for a few weeks and until last night, I was just mildly interested. But now I have to admit, I have a bit of a crush. We’d been emailing about movies, and I think you can tell a lot about a person from their favorites. I like all the movies he listed, own some of them, and a few even took me pleasantly by surprise. But what clinched it all was that he loves Rocky. I love Rocky! He wrote a few sentences about why he loves the Rocky movies, and I couldn’t help but find myself smitten.
Personally, "opposites attract" never worked well for me. Opposites are necessary because I do want a man who compliments my weaknesses with his strengths, but when it comes to most things, I’m looking for a man I have a lot in common with.
What are your favorites? Here are a few of mine, and out of my love for High Fidelity, I’ve compiled them in lists of top fives with no particular rank or order.

After my first date with my ex he sent me an email titled "Top 5 reasons why you are the coolest girl ever". It was adorable.
I think anyone who understands how cool top 5 lists are is worth hanging onto, at least a little while=)
I like making top 5 lists too, and I love all five of those movies. :)
I love your lists because I always get some new music out of it!! :-)
AHHHHH I can't comment on the whole post because I'm still stuck on the first list. "Come Pick Me up" is one of my all time favorite songs too. I absolutely adore it, and anytime I play it for someone else they make a face like they've smelled something bad. I'm glad to have found someone who likes it!
