How did you come up with your name AcoBrasil?

"How did you come up with your name AcoBrasil?"

"Aco" in Portuguese means Iron.  I used to invest in Vale do Rio Doce, which is the largest iron ore miner in the world.  I created the moniker when I was chatting with other investors about the company.

Tough one on movies. I am a 70s/80s child, but still watch quite a few new flicks.  The first two are definitely my all-time favorites.  I don't like zombie flicks and never seen the Exorcist or Alien.

1.  Halloween - Part I
2.  Session 9
3.  Friday the 13th - Part I  (this is admittedly pretty dated, but the suspense is still top notch).
4.  The Omen
5.  Poltergeist (the original)
6.  The Conjuring
7.  The Others
8.  Rosemary's Baby
9.  Psycho
10. Creepshow

A few runners up:  The Ring,  Babadook, Devil's Backbone, Trilogy of Terror,  Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula.


TV series:

Tales from the Darkside and Monsters.  (Both are pretty campy).
Friday the 13th the Series.
Twilight Zone.
Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Ray Bradbury Theater.
X-Files.

American Horror Story Season I was pretty good. Stopped watching after that.  Currently watching Season I of "The Fringe."  I don't really watch much TV. I spent 7 years working my way through the X-Files on Netflix.
