I did grew up on Disney since my mom worked for them at the time. But I do have to say that I loved 2 movies a lot from that time..The Nutty Professor, which inspired many many jokes and impersonations at the dinner table, much to my mother's dismay. haha But also Fly Away Home. I cry every time they go off on their own and when Igor gets hit by the aircraft. When X-men and TrueBlood came out I shouted "That's Amy!!" and my fiancee laughed at me. <br /><br />I hope you keep writing amazing novels so I can keep suggesting them to everyone I know. :) I've already pre-ordered your new one :)Meredith K Pollardhttp://facebook.com/meredith.kaye.pollardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-19555891793004590802011-08-26T22:57:45.095-07:002011-08-26T22:57:45.095-07:00Hmmmm... 1996 well that would make me 9 yrs. old. ...Hmmmm... 1996 well that would make me 9 yrs. old. I've pretty much seen a lot of movies that came out that year. It's a really tough choice between That Thing You DO starring Liv Tyler and Space Jam with Michael Jordan and of course how can I forget the looney toons characters. But out of all the movies that year there's one that I had to pick aside the aforementioned two. JACK with Robin Williams I'm a big fan of his.simply_KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942628888472844238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-85933474686504824022011-08-26T22:01:54.926-07:002011-08-26T22:01:54.926-07:00I was a junior at Michigan State, and the girl i w...I was a junior at Michigan State, and the girl i was dating was a sophomore. She had a rough week on test's and school, so i thought i would surprise her by taking her out to dinner and a movie with the little money i had. We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday, and went and saw "That Thing You Do". Such a sweet simple night of two young people in the early stages of dating. I broke up with her two months later to date another girl,(I was young and stupid),but looking back, she was the one, and i know that now. Whenever That Thing You Do comes on TV, I always watch it, and look back fondly of that one perfect night, and think what could have been.Darth Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795845907558519706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-41952454827925606032011-08-26T21:11:33.746-07:002011-08-26T21:11:33.746-07:00I counted about 15 movies, I'm a big movie buf...I counted about 15 movies, I'm a big movie buff, but to narrow it down to my top favorites are. "From Dusk to Dawn", I love Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodregez films and this was a mix of many unique things. "Broken Arrow" for its good action scenes,John Travolta plays a good bad guy and Christian Slater plays a good action star(also helps that I'm named after him). Last is "Romeo + Juliet", I love Shakespear and this gave a interesting twist on a classic piece of literature.<br /><br />Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of "The Future of Us" and can't wait for the film for addaptation for "Thirteen Reasons Why". I would love to audition for it.Christiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-70077319892684941792011-08-26T20:59:21.734-07:002011-08-26T20:59:21.734-07:00Oh so many good movies in 1996 - this question mak...Oh so many good movies in 1996 - this question makes me miss the 90s so much! It's so hard to choose my favorite one. My friends and I were obsessed with Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet - and convinced our teachers to let us perform scenes from the play for our classmates. Looking back, I think that was particularly brave of our teachers considering the 90s treatment we could have given the text.Etihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150862211475273074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-53898213221724735912011-08-26T20:27:10.405-07:002011-08-26T20:27:10.405-07:00Swingers.

I was 13 in 1996 and I remember being excited for a lot of those movies - Pinocchio, Scream, The Craft, Flipper, That Thing You Do! Without doubt though, my favourite at that age would definitely be Baz Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet. I remember being slightly obsessed! <br /><br />These days, looking at that list what stands out as fave's even now are Bed of Roses and The Frighteners. Awesome movies. 1996 was a great year, yeah?<br /><br />Thanks so much!Bagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755848978321563875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-1569225558065732012011-08-26T18:40:43.710-07:002011-08-26T18:40:43.710-07:00I was all set to say (almost afraid to admit it......I was all set to say (almost afraid to admit it...)
