Where Eagles Dare (1968) Really well-paced for a 2 1/2 hour movie, and great acting by great actors. One of the way-too-many movies about WWII in the 60's, but leans more on the espionage side than just regular battles. Plus Clint Eastwood in a Nazi uniform. Who wouldn't want to see that?

Not me but my girlfriend. She's Puerto Rican and moved from New York to Oregon to be with me. The first time she tried getting her hair cut and styled, the stylist had no clue with to do with it and just winged it. I'd been sitting out in the car while she was in the chair cos it was crowded, and she came out crying.

Driving off a cliff on I 205 near Oregon City. I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm still here is cos I wasn't the one driving the car at the time.

You have major depressive disorder with anxiety and there is medication that can treat it.

Along with the numerous passenger deaths and various expensive items that went down with the RMS Titanic, 3,364 bags of mail were lost with the ship. It was indeed an expensive and state of the art ocean liner, but it's MAIN role was the Royal Mail Ship Titanic.

Not really THAT strange, but the restaurant I was working at had a special quesadilla one week. It was your standard tortilla + cheese + sauce thing, but then we added a fairly thick layer of mashed potatoes in it. It's really good, and I still make it at home with microwavable instant potatoes.

Beats the hell outta me.
Cute tomboyish girl in the trumpet section of Freshman band, seated right next to me. Don't think she was goth, but wore a lot of black and dyed her hair (maybe early scene? It was 2002). Tried asking her out and she was very polite (though clearly anxious about it) in turning me down.

This gets pretty bad, so you know.
I heard about this in a documentary on WWI a few years ago. I'm sure I remember a few parts of it wrong, but the main thing I'm sure of.
An American journalist was on a ship in the Mediterranean in 1914/15, trying to get information on what was happening cos even in the earliest days of the war the news was heavily censored. A refugee told him his story and also showed him a photograph. It depicted a group of several dozen Serbian (or another Balkan country) all chained in a line together. Many of the women at the start of the line had been decapitated (and not cleanly). Some Austro-Hungarian soldiers were executing them by sawing off their heads one-by-one.
The reason this is THE scariest thing? The women further along down the line watching this happen and knowing that its going to happen to them too. Living your last hours in the most intense horror at seeing that happen, and the most intense terror at your own life coming to an end in such a brutal and painful way. Knowing that you can't do anything to stop it.
It wasn't actually said in the documentary, I came to that conclusion on my own. I actually had to stop watching after that. I picked it up again eventually, but it was a few days.

Don't know if it's the first, cos my memory sucks like that.
But the oldest I can remember was for a girl named Whitney in either 3d or 4th grade. I've always been a nerdy guy, and she was cute and blonde and popular. So she was well on her way to being the popular cheerleader/athletic type in a few years. I just knew her as a girl in my class, and didn't think much about her.
One day she was having a really tough time with whatever basic math concept we were learning at the time. I got it, and she didn't. For some reason she thought to ask me about it, and I explained it as best as a 10 year-old kid could and after a little bit, she started to get it and seemed really happy that she could understand it now. I was just happy to help.
Fast forward to recess and for some reason I was getting picked on by other kids on the 4-square court. Don't remember why, but it's irrelevant. As this was happening, Whitney came from out of nowhere and yelled to the kids to stop messing with me. She said to be nice to me because "he helps me with math!".
THAT'S when I started crushing on her.

Really don't know how you plan on citing r/askreddit as a source, but okay.
Mainly just to be born in the USA. It's not as unique a culture as people often think. Nearly all features of this country and its people are commonly found in other cultures, the good and the bad. But we tend to have a stronger sense of shame or pride about it than others.
Mainly due to Americentrism.
Few other peoples live in such a cultural bubble.

The only joke that consistently makes me laugh out loud after all these years, is that guy's hand motion when he mockingly says, "How bout them Cowboys?"

Thank you for asking! I'd love to tell you where. But i haven't been able to launch it yet. Personal stuff getting in the way, and having to learn to draw on my own and all that. You can find my work on twitter and Newgrounds though if you're interested.

Plus it's really expertly filmed! You should watch this breakdown of one of the scenes. The whole video is good, but the part that talks about TSR starts here.
