I watched Fargo again over the weekend. That is such a good film. One of my all-time favourites.

Yeah, in some ways I found the 1990s more difficult, because there are films I loved then that I'm not really fond of now (Braveheart), and films that I love now that I had no interest in when they came out (Groundhog Day).

Groundhog Day is fricken hilarious. I go out of my way to watch it around Feb 2 because it always gets played. The first time I saw it my sides were aching by the end of it. The Jeopardy scene, the part where he orders burgers and fries from the cop... I love that movie.
