+1! Shrek was awesome and we laughed harder than anyone in the theatre...
all three of us (26, 24, 23).  You don't need kids, or even need to like
kids to enjoy this movie.  And Eddie Murphy was good too.

I saw the made for TV movie "Escape From Alcatraz" when I was about 10.
Scared the shit out of me.  I never, ever, ever want to go to prison.

I read "Skeleton Crew" when I was 12.  My mom wasn't too happy I was reading
it, especially since she'd read it, but I thought it was great horror.  The
