Cool, I'll rent Shallow Grave this weekend. I watched it in college, and I was probably drunk. I haven't read Trainspotting, though. Heard it was really good, but I just haven't even thought about it. I'll be sure to put it on my list. Thanks for the tip.
I know hardly any of these were particularly great movies Oscar wise, but 1996 was pretty damn entertaining... Jerry Maguire Space Jam (guilty pleasure of mine) Ransom (one of Mel Gibson's best performances, IMO) High School High Long Kiss Goodnight Great White Hype Sargeant Bilko Rumble in the Bronx (started the Jackie Chan craze in America) Plus, 1996 was a great summer for movies Joe's Apartment Independence Day Striptease (anything with Demi Moore nekkid is good in my book) Cable Guy The Rock Mission: Impossible Twister The Nutty Professor Imagine that, not a single sequel!
Chunk became a lawyer. 1959 movies: http://alpha60.dnsalias.com/movies/Released.asp?yFrom=1959&yTo=1959
