operation fave 10

It has been my dream that I would have the original movie posters of my Top 10 All-Time Favorite Movies hanging on my walls. This dream began about two (2) years ago and I'm glad I took my time acquiring the posters because 2004 was a year when two out of my top 10 were replaced with movies that debuted in '04. Nevertheless, I have been patiently acquiring a poster here and a poster there to add to my Top 10 collection. It hasn't been easy, but through discretionary income, eBay and a debit card...I've attained a bulk of the collection over the past few months. Let me first disclose my Top 10 All-Time Favorite Movies (some may suprise you): #1 - Mo'Better Blues (1990) #2 - Under the Cherry Moon (1986) #3 - Hav Plenty (1998) #4 - Ray (2004) #5 - She Hate Me (2004) #6 - U-Turn (1997) #7 - Scarface (1983) #8 - The Best Man (1999) #9 - House Party (1990) #10- Juice (1991) So far, I've acquired #1, #3 , #6 and #8. I had #7, but I had to dispose of it due to unforeseen circumstances. #2 is hard as hell to find; but I saw it on eBay for $34 and surely, I can get a better deal if I keep searching. Just today, I found one on eBay for $8.50 (@ least, that's the bid as of now). In honor of the two new inductees, #4 and #5, I went the extra mile and got the Australian release poster of Ray and the French release poster of She Hate Me. It took a few weeks, but they finally came in while I was out of town. I went and bought frames for them afterwork today and I just hung them in my living room. They look really nice. Okay, I know this post is hella boring - but again, it's about fulfilling dreams...even if they're minor ones. At least I'm making them come true. I figure if I start off small, I'll work my way up to bigger dreams, grander visions...favorite nitemares...
