When I was younger, so much younger than todayÂ… my parents bought me awful presents & still do it to this day!
I need you guys to suggest your choices in the comments ASAP as my family is going Christmas shopping for me this weekend and need my selections in their hands by tomorrow night. YIKES!
So please, PLEASE help meÂ… donÂ’t let me suffer the same cruel fate that Eric has fallen victim to!

CDs: Anything by The Who, but especially Quadrophenia.

Sunset Boulevard
Metropolis
Citizen Kane
The African Queen
The Caine Mutiny
The Manchurian Candidate (the original with Frank Sinatra)
Any James Bond with Sean Connery
DVD set: The Prisoner
Oh, ok, one zombie movie: Night of the Living Dead
