talk about eclectic tastes

lol yeah
I'm hard to please when it comes to movies just because I do not have the attention span to sit and watch them - so when I find favorites I watch them over and over I also enjoy Shrek, The Mummy, and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies

I love those movies too
As I really love them more
On the big screen than at home
Seeing that on there.

Finally bit the bullet and watched Atonement. Wanted to hate it, but it was incredible.

Also, best recent/recentish films are Juno and Transformers. Awesomesauce!

Atonement was indeed good.

You liked Transformers, but not Cloverfield???!!! GM, it is fortunate that you are a Karl Pilkington fan, or we might have to part ways

Transformers was so goofy and poorly written, IMHO. Yes, the effects were good, but that does not a good movie make.

I ran across this movie on cable last week.

Land of the Blind. I highly recommend it.

Has anyone ever seen "Late One Night"? It's a great evangelistic film with a message. It stars Brad Heller, an actor who stars in exclusively Christian movies.

There are a few movies (maybe 3-4) that I will watch whenever they're on t.v. - one such movie is on right now.

REMEMBER THE TITANS

 

[edie19]

thanks to AMC for helping me remember another movie I've appreciated and enjoyed

The Memphis Belle

 

[MrJim]

I just finished watching Apollo 13~yeah, it's good.

like that one too - I'm a big Gary Sinese fan

 

[edie19]

has anyone seen the Spiderwick Chronicles yet? I know it just came out, but just wondering. The grandboys have asked me very nicely to take them to it - the reviews have been good., but wouldn't mind some personal input if available.

Arriving late...as usual.

Sound of Music

Dangerous Liasons

To Kill A Mocking Bird

Witness

The Friendly Persuasion

Billy Elliot

The Full Monty

All The Indiana Jones & all the LOTR

And I still like Fly Away Home.

 

[edie19]

another one of my favorites was just on t.v. (have to love satellite t.v. due to all the movie channel options).

Anyhow - Mr. Holland's Opus
Always makes me think of the few teachers who so greatly impacted my life that even 34 years after graduating from high school I remember then with deepest respect.


With the exception of The Goodbye Girl, probably Richard Dreyfuss' best movie.

Guess I should put The Goodbye Girl on my list too

 

[A New Dawn]

like that one too - I'm a big Gary Sinese fan

I like Gary Sinese, too, but his best films have been the ones where he starred with Tom Hanks.

I hadn't thought of that, but in retrospect
Apollo 13
Forrest Gump
The Green Mile

can't argue with any of them being excellent movies - diverse roles for both men in all three movies.

But, my favorite Gary Sinese role is one of his earliest. . . . I'd go all the way back to George in Of Mice and Men (my favorite Steinbeck book).

Couple of other things I respect about him - he's been married to the same woman for >25 years (almost unheard of in Hollywood these days). Also, he's one of the founders of Operation Iraqi Children - an organization which distributes school supplies, clothes, backpacks, blankets, sports equipment to Iraqi (and now other) children. OIC organizes everything and the US troops assist with the distribution. Excellent charity.

Now back to movie talk

 

[A New Dawn]

I've never seen Of Mice and Men. I read the book and thought it was a very interesting story, but never had the chance to see the movie. I'll have to check it out.

currently watching "Coach Carter" with Samuel L. Jackson

my kind of movie - along the line of "Remember the Titans" or "Hoosiers" or "Friday Night Lights" or even the non sport movie "Lean on Me"
