Letters from NYC

Heat!

Update: Next Weekend I will ask you, dear readers, to submit the best Guy flicks that Chicks Dig! Lets see what kind of a list we'll come up with.

Yes, I'm sure that grabbed everyone's attention, but if you read my previous post, in which I shared that I had no heat or power, you'd immediately know what I meant. Still, I couldn't resist the provacative title. In any case, my neighbor finally called me to tell me there's heat in the buildiing. Yay! The power came back late last night, but no heat as they needed an oil delivery, which arrived early this morning. YAY! So I'll be going home later today.

Since some of you are snowed in, I figured I might help us both out by posting some movie reviews and titles, so you can skip what's on tv for some real good entertainment.

What got me thinking of this, was a conversation I had with Tammi at the Empire State Bldg. and then coming across a post about "12 Most Technologically Advanced Movies of its Time" of course the list focuses on CGI's, Animation, etc. Let me tell you, that list's chock full of testosterone driven images. That list will be perfect for me when something happens at work that makes me feel like I want to knock somebody's head off. Well, except for the Star Wars movie. But I must give credit to my blog-sis Tammi for the idea, because it was our trip to the Empire State Building that I shared about some of my favorite movies, which made me realize that some of them had been filmed in NYC.

So, to counter all the wonderful maleness on the previous list, I'll offer a list of my own - Michele's Top 25 Chick Flicks of All Time. I hope you consider sharing one of these classics with a younger generation this winter, so they don't fade away from our collective memory. I list them here in chronological order. I'll update with links later on.
