SSDD is exactly what halftime is.

Anybody wanna guess what SSDD stands for (don't google it).

How long ago did you read Dreamcatcher?

I read it I think around 2002 or so. It was right when it was released on paperback. That was a really good book, though long. I had totally forgotten about it.

I was deployed, so it had to be 2001 or 2002. It was long, but still a good read. Most all of his books get into your mind (at least mine).

Everyone has heard of the Boondock Saints.

It was a decent movie. 3 stars (out of 4).

No not everyone. Several on this board infact asked what it was when it was mentioned before.

I didnt ask for your opinion of my choice just what your pick would be.

I never really like movies of Kings books. The Shining would be the only exception I can think of.

I can never believe people when they tell me they have never seen/heard of "True Romance"....
used to be my favorite movie....
Quentin Tarantino...Dennis Hopper, Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, and plenty of other well known actors..Brad Pitt.....
Very good....and if you HAVE heard of it.....
and just wanna flame.................
flame on!!

not many people have seen "Wonderland"....the story of John Holmes and the Wonderland murders..
damn, now I wanna watch it....real crime photos at the end of it...
A lot of Boogey Nights was written based on the Wonderland murders......

Facing the Giants and Secondhand Lions are my picks.

Boondock Saints is totally popular...lol. I've got it on DVD and my friends always want to watch it. Willem Dafoe is great in it and it's an above average movie, but it's hardly obscure.
My favorite movie that most haven't heard of is "Run Ronnie Run".

I don't really consider Donnie Darko to be an obscure movie, but alot of people haven't seen it. It's a great film.

OK...I can't help myself...lol
Some other movies that aren't incredibly popular are:

Sean of the Dead
Volunteers (John Candy and Tom Hanks)
Running With Scissors
Not Another Teen Movie
Shreik if you know what I did last Friday the 13th
Igby Goes Down
Requiem For a Dream
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (pretty popular)
Snatch
Live Forever (brit-pop documentary)
Eurotrip (pretty popular)
The Ladykillers
Trainspotting (pretty popular)
Trojan War
Airheads

You ever seen "Kids" or "Gummo"?
