three times, but Fargo is one of them... in fact I'm thinking about queuing it up for the 5th or 6th time. Buscemi is great! Reservoir Dogs and The Big Lebowski are classic!

The others (those I've watched more than 3 times) include but are not limited to L.A. Confidential, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, Duck Soup, and all three Godfathers.

The story of the retired fire boats the John J Harvey reported in for duty. The surreal account of the only living Command Fire Chief at the towers, hearing the boat on the radio reporting for duty and maneuvering toward the towers. He pumped water in the area after the water mains were damaged. So the ALL Call brings out everybody, even retired, to help. A retired FDNY recounted his experience leaving upstate NY and the only other car on the parkway was another FF. He said there was a mile long line of fire trucks and EMS from all over and from out of state at the scene.

Steve played a FF on TV

said that his travel agent typed the incorrect time on his info about take-off. I like Seth's version better.

I remember my buddy on long island said it was surreal to see all the cars still at the long island railroad station parking lot that evening...After hours it was usually empty.. Not Sept 11..
