I cannot stand Marilyn Monroe either! With her breathy voice that I guess is supposed to be sexy and her one acting expression that seemed to consist only of opening her eyes really wide - I don't get her appeal. I have tried to watch a couple of Woody Allen movies and don't get them at all. While Al Pacino can be a very good actor, I think of him as mostly a scenery chewer. And his Oscar-winning "Scent of a Woman"? I think Chris O'Donnell should have testified against the kids who damaged the head guy's car so Al's big speech is a whole lot of hot air saying nothing and defending the wrong principle in my unpopular opinion.

I disliked everything about The English Patient. Everything. Why it won awards is a mystery to me.

U is for the underwear Phoebe's boyfriend Robert doesn't wear.

I love the parents in Easy A! Rosemary: Not to mention how you have been dressing these past few days. No judgment, but you kind of look like a stripper. Olive Penderghast: Mom! Dill: [to Olive] A high-end stripper, for governors or athletes.

Okay, this just made me laugh. Talk about timing . . . http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ryan-oneal-ali-macgraw-reunite-say-love-story-movie-line-is-a-crock-2014276?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter

The animation was wonderful; the plot was horrific.

The musicals I dislike are the ones made during a time when someone in power thought it would be fun to cast the leading roles with actors who can't sing. I really need a remake of Man of LaMancha, Camelot (Richard Harris handled the Rex Harrison speak-sing nicely and had a kingly presence IMO, but Vanessa Redgrave was hideous), and Guys and Dolls.

I rolled my eyes during Love Story. Many times. Especially at the end. "Love means never having to say you're sorry"? Who writes that kind of crap?

S is for all the sweaters Joey put on to break up with Katie because she hits too hard.

Brosnan was under contract for Remington Steele, which was getting cancelled. When he started getting all the press for Bond, NBC wanted to ride the wave. The show was renewed and they wouldn't let him out to shoot the Bond movie.

Pretty manipulative of Divya to put the burden on Jeremiah to kick her out. Doesn't she have a place? How long does it take to get rid of mold?

I loved the father-daughter sofa moment in "Sixteen Candles" and would count him among one of the best fathers, forgetting her birthday notwithstanding. The standard by which all fathers must be measured: Atticus Finch.

I also nominate Ethan Hawke's parents who just wanted him to shut up and sign the paper demonizing the teacher rather than find out how he was dealing with the fact that his roommate/best friend just killed himself.

I showed my boys "Singin' in the Rain" over Christmas, and they all loved the dancing. That was further confirmation I am raising them right! It is a favorite of mine because I love watching Gene dance. I don't think I have ever seen "American in Paris" in its entirety; I always seem to find it as the dance section starts. It sounds like I am not missing much. I remember once saying, "I love watching Gene dance," and my mom replied, "I love watching him walk." He was amazing!

The unfairness of Judi winning for 8 minutes of screen time ( which even she acknowledged in her acceptance speech) pales in comparison to the travesty of her losing to Helen Hunt the previous year.

I grew up with Roger Moore so have a soft spot for him. I have never seen a Sean Connery Bond. Started to watch one once, but I didn't think it held up well and gave up. I never saw Timothy's Bond. I loved Pierce when he played Bond, but Daniel Craig blows them all out of the water. My favorite moment? When the Bond girl was having a breakdown after killing a villain, and he went into the shower fully dressed and licked her fingers to help her clean them. Swoon; did it just get a little hot in here? My favorite quip? When the bartender asks if he wants his martini shaken or stirred, and he asks, "Do I look like I give a damn?" My favorite song? I really don't have one, but I can tell you that "For Your Eyes Only" is now running through my head. I don't think I am happy about it either.

I will never accept that "That Thing You Do" belongs in the stupid movies thread. If I stumble across it, I will watch it. Every time. And hold my head up high while doing so.

O is for the open flame in a wooden area that caused Vince to break up with Phoebe

People who don't find Brad Pitt to be all that and dislike both Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts?!?!?!? I'm home!! Julia Roberts winning an Oscar was a travesty and her smug, self-satisfied acceptance speech rubbed me all the wrong way. I saw her on "Inside the Actor's Studio" and she was one of the worst interviewees ever. She had absolutely nothing of substance to share, and if I were a acting student and were required to attend that class as part of my grade, I would have demanded some tuition money back. I have only stumbled across a couple of Angelina's movies and I can't. I just can't. I can objectively say that Brad Pitt can be attractive in the right circumstances, but he certainly doesn't make my heart beat faster.

It was so clear throughout the show that Janet and Jack should end up together at the end. I am still annoyed it didn't end that way. Janet was my favorite.

J is for Janice. Oh. My. God!

The In-Laws (the original with Peter Falk-not that monstrosity of a remake). Just saying, "Serpentine!" in our house will make everyone fall over in laughter.

I love Gwyneth as Pepper Potts and think Robert and she have tons of chemistry. I watch Iron Man and Avengers for their scenes together. Doubling down on this UO, I like Gwyneth as an actress in general.

G has to be for Gunther because even though no one crushed on him (other than Judy Geller), Rachel told him she loved him and will think about him every time she sees a man with hair brighter than the sun

C is for Charlie who dated Joey, Ross, and Nobel Prize winners
