I didn't know that liking or disliking Avengers was a reflection of my personality. I'll keep that in mind the next forum litmus test comes in.

Wasn't referring to the Avengers but more of your abrasive arrogance on display.

[Walt Disney]

I doubt Gone with Wind will make.

That's very surprising. However, given the tastes of the voters so far, I am starting to think you're right.

Which is surprising for a film site.

But my abrasive arrogance only came out when talking about Avengers......

I didn't have it on my list. I always thought it was a little over-rated. But, it's a good sign that The Godfather will make the list, which is very much deserved.
