That was a simple cut and paste job.

But I have to catalog all the movies I own on DVD, CD-R, VHS, since it's in the 2,000 title range as well, so everything I buy or record I enter into a file and all the recorded titles have to be coded so I can find the damn things later.

Same with the computer files...

Gotta separate the boxing from the wrestling from the features from the series...

you know how it is...

A lot of good stuff here. I'll throw out a couple more which are my top-two favourite films:

The Graduate

Midnight Cowboy

Both incredible movies, and are about tons more than just sex (in the case of The Graduate) and drugs (in the case of Midnight Cowboy).

MallRats doesn't touch Clerks. It's funnier than the other campy movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Chasing Amy and Dogma are superior movies, and in my opinion, funnier as well.

At least it's better than Jersey Girl...

Clerks is by far the best. The other Smith movies are mediocre.

Jay and Silent Bob was funny, but also pretty stupid...although, I do like the C.L.I.T. :D
