Video: Common’s Five Favorite Films
While Common was at Current TV, The RottenTomatoes Show got to ask him about his five favorite movies:
5. The Usual Suspects (think about the way he wrote “Testify”)
4. Forrest Gump (co-sign)
3. Coming to America
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (co-sign, what up Jay)
1. The Godfather
Respect his S.A.G. card! Current will have a full interview with Common for their new show “Embedded” (get it?) which premieres this Fall.
Sidebar: I didn’t know Common was gonna be in Date Night with Steve Carrell and Tina Fey, check out the star studded cast at IMDB.

… doesn’t it say you still have to pay 8.99 for the album ? maybe I just skimmed through it and read it wrong, but still a t-shirt is mad cheap to print up, artists should give it away for free with the album and to help sell, $40 isn’t necessarily too much for a t-shirt, but not for a t-shirt with just album art on it ….
