I've seen none of them (I don't get out to movies much any more -- I expect to see everything the year my girls can stay home alone!), but I have a few sentimental favorites. The shocker for me? Jackie Earle Haley???? Wasn't he the foul-mouthed little kid from "The Bad News Bears"?

:D

Jackie Earle Haley shocked me too, and that is the kid (I guess now an adult) I thought of when I read the name. It must be the same person. Awesome.
