TOP 10 "I QUIT" MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!
April 2, 2004
So why are we doing this list? As you may know, one of Hugh's left-leaning contributors, Joshua Micah Marshall, resigned last week from his unpaid commitment to Hugh as a result of Hugh's incessant baiting and criticism. Hugh, of course, believes that Joshua's reaction is completely irrational; those who work with Hugh are not so sure. But in any event, as a memorial for Joshua, here are my choices -- with amendments from our loyal listeners -- for the Top 10 "I Quit" Movies Ever!
