"I heart Jake Ryan!"
Personal statement:

I love all kinds of movies-- indie flicks, blockbusters and even Lifetime movies.  Since I heart Jake Ryan, it's no surprise that  my favorite movie of all-time is "Sixteen Candles"...  And since Rhett Butler and I share not just the same last name, but also the same city of residence, I have a very special place in my heart for "Gone With the Wind".   

Favorite Line from a Film:  "I don't want to be a product of my environment.  I want my environment to be a product of me."

--  Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello in "The Departed"
