Points for Untouchables. That's my #1 fav of all time. And I was surprised to see Movie over book. I always feel like the movies get something wrong. Put that's just my opinion.

Thanks to everyone that's responded here. I thought it was a good way to get to know some stuff about each other.

Like with T'Lara. I'd like to visit Scotland also as my ancestry is Irish and Scottish.

The reason why I like Movies over books is because I read a lot and the last thing I want to do is read more when I come back home.  But is kind of ironic that I do a post by post RPG

First off let me say hello everyone! Some of you may remember me from long ago (Bradley Miller), but for those of you who don't, it's good to meet you!

Alright, and now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Top 5 movies (excluding Star Trek):
Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

If you could go back in history, who would you like to meet?
Hmm ... that's an interesting question ... I really honestly don't know ...
Perhaps Hitler or Osama bin Laden, just to see if they could give any sort of validation for the atrocities they committed.
Or possibly one of my sports heros ... just to meet them ... I really don't know for sure. I know that if I had the chance, I'd probably end up regretting it regardless of whoever I went to meet, simply because there's so many options.

Do you prefer the book or the movie? (In general)
Generally the book, but occasionally movies get it right ... very very very occasionally.

If you could visit any country in the world, where would you go?
Spain, because I've never been.
Then Australia, because I've never been.
