An amazing film to watch is requiem for a dream. It is a little difficult to watch, at times, as it is very powerful. It is one of the most realistic movies I have ever seen, as it does not give a false, glamorized portrayal of "drug life".

Good grief....!!! Moving them was harder than the furniture...LOL.....Have you seen Tears Of The Sun??? I love it, It has Bruce Willis in it, really really good......Basic is good too with John Travolta, great ending! My husband made a great suggestion to me...I am trying to become a published writer...he said for practice writing go through each of our movies an dwrite a review/critique it...I'll be doing it for years!!!! LOL...It is a good idea though, really. Happy movie watching!!!!!!

tammie - sounds like your husband has a great idea! tell you what, the next movie that you watch, write a reveiw and post it here for us to see! i think we could go into the movie renting business. or the book lending business. i swear i have more books than our local library! or even the cd rental business. we have so many cd's in our house that we don't know where to put them. anything from john denver, to mozart to lincoln park! watched "about schmidt" last night. did anyone else find it depressing? lovee, angela |

Thanks for the movie ideas! Jotted them down to stick it in my wallet. That way, next time when looking for videos and am befuddled as to what movie to get, I'll have my handy list. My all-time favorite is: "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE". I never tire of it and I cry everytime. It's good year-round, not just during the holidays. Think I'll make a stop at the library today (can rent DVDs/Videos free!!) |

One of my favorites was Bridges of Madison County. The book was awesome, I cried and cried. It helped get out those pinned up tears that needed to come. Girl Interupted was also a good movie (book was better). One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest is my all time favorite. Thanks for this thread.

I also liked One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, both the movie and the book. Jack Nickelson was something. I felt like Ken Kesey should have written something else on a par with Cuckoo's Nest, but I couldn't ever get into Sometimes a Great Notion. Recently I saw About Schmidt. I thought it succeeded as a movie. Not in the Blockbuster model. But I had just lost my father and I thought the scenes about dealing with the death of a loved one were well conceived and well acted. |

Same here Splendra! Denzel has a new one out, "Man on Fire". I also love George Clooney, he is so funny and so HANDSOME. Get the DVD with him and Catherine Zeta Jones in "Intolerable Cruelty", they are two of my favorites. Hugs Bonni

I suppose I may be the only one who laughed 'til I wet my pants at Shrek2...I especially loved the Cat (Antonio Banderas) who coughed up the furball and turned on the large melty eyes to bend people's will. Didn't Cold Mountain have a different ending in the book ? loved both the book and the film. I will unrecomend House of Sand and Fog only because it depressed me... Loved Step into Liquid because surfing fascinates me...and the shots were great...just ignor the unitelligent surfer dialogues... Into the Void had some depressing parts...but and was painful to watch, but the lessons about survival and human courage made it worth seeing...This was the film re-enacting the events of a young Brittish man who was injured an thought dead by his climbing partner in the remote Andes...and how he survives....one step at a time....

|  Let's see...  I believe Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock has to be my all time favorite!! Of course, When a Man Loves a Woman; Breakfast Club; Excalibur (basically any King Author, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere movie is cool); and there is one more, Forrest Gump, that are definitelly at the top of my favorites list!! Now at Hastings, we rented from the very bottom shelf a movie with Meg Ryan called, In the Cut, that was good but a porno that should not have been within kids reach...complained but did no good; and then just last night we rented another very bottom shelf movie called, The Dreamers, from Hastings & we thought that this movie sucked while also being a badly placed porno...no complaint since it did no good last time!! Long story short...watch these two movies without your kids if ya'll see them & decide to rent them!! :wink2: See ya'll!! Love, Samantha |

Have you guys seen Secondhand Lions? It's a bit sad in parts, but there are parts that will have you rolling on the floor! It's also completely kid safe! Paula

Peace, Some of my favorites already mentioned here: The Days Of Wine And Roses. Pay It Forward. Hello, My Name Is Bill W. I like these too: Rudy (I love this story about never giving up you dream.) Radio (Never let ANYTHING hold you back.) Antoine Fisher (We all need to feel connected to something) The Miracle Worker (Original version-the Helen Keller story) And who could forget, Forrest Gump! All of these movies make me cry with joy. Peace
