1. Days of Heaven

And there's a steep drop-off after #3.

Oh The Thin Red Line is a masterpiece.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah, I didn't really care for the book either. The only reason I even picked it up was because I heard Norton was making a movie version. This was way back when. When the movie never materialized, I put the book down. I finally read it a couple of years ago and was way underwhelmed.
