- I always got the impression that Southwest offered phenomenal service (so I've heard) -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 14, 12:28 6

  - Just pay us $50 more and your bags are free! - adventy97 Dec 14, 12:14 2
    - I still find that on average Southwest is cheaper (especially with the free bags). Maybe if I booked farther out I could get cheaper fares on other - pmb Dec 14, 12:21 1
      - I don't always check Southwest, so my sample is not scientific. But when I do? It's never cheaper. - adventy97 Dec 14, 12:24
- Satan... doesn't exist. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 12:12 1

    - Blood Diamond? - Guy Dec 14, 12:15 3
      - I actively hated The Aviator, but I don't know if that was his fault. I doubt it was. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 12:17 2
        
        So you gave it a B+? -- nm - Dano Dec 14, 12:26 1

        Actually, ditch Damon for Depp on my list. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 12:33
    - I'd be hardpressed to still include Norton on that list. He hasn't had a decent role in at least 3 years. -- nm - Ender Dec 14, 12:23 2
      - good point. id go back to Italian Job or previous. i guess Brad moves into my Top 5 -- nm - Guy Dec 14, 12:34
      - His Modern Family cameo didn't help things. -- nm - Inigo Dec 14, 12:24
    - The lack of Damon and Clooney makes me sad. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 12:23 1
      - they would certainly round out my Top 10. i like Damon a lot, but lean towards the 'intensity' roles vs the action roles - Guy Dec 14, 12:31
    - I think Damon should be on that list. -- nm - Inigo Dec 14, 12:23
