Done!

Blue Lagoon is a sexy movie, then you realize Brooke Shields was like 15 when she shot it.

How is The Little Mermaid is seventh place? It's one of Disney's best films!

The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie. Great songs and story. Plus, Ariel is really hot.

She's also about 15 in that movie. :eek:

And a cartoon. :wtf:

Well, I was 21 when the movie came out, and she was old enough to get married! Why you want to harsh on my fantasy, bro? :)

Somehow I failed to notice The King Of Comedy when I voted; is it possible to add that vote in now?

Added.

thanks
