Default Movie Recomendation

haven't seen a movie in 6-8 months...thinking of renting a couple tonight.

Anyone seen anything good lately???

Comedy...drama...suspense. Not a big horror movie or sci fi person.

I'm very picky on movies depending on what mood I'm in. That said, the last few movies I've watched in the past few months, all of which were good:

Godfather (all 3)
Das Boot
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (I love Jimmy Stuart!)
The Usual Suspects
Memento
Panz Labryinth
The Pianist
Life is Beautiful
Some Like it Hot
When Harry Met Sally
Batman Begins
Crash
Harvey
Big Fish
Scarface

I'll spare you the list of chick flicks.

I really want to see that, but Ben Affleck is a big turnoff.....

Don't know how much TV you watch,Kev, but you could get seasons of '24' or comedies like Scrubs and such. Or check out your city library! The latest book I've read is John Grishams' The Innocent Man...good read,and important in the scheme of some things,imho.

I always recommend seasons of TV shows...better value and frankly better watching than movies. Since I mainly watch the genre you don't like...well, Cruel Intentions is probably my favorite non-fantasy/horror/sci-fi movie. Blade Runner, Underworld, Serenity are great but Sci-fi. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai or Rocky Horror if you want a good cult flick!

Adrien Brody was excellent in The Pianist. I'll have to watch Hollywoodland, but you're in trouble if Ben is a 'miss' in this too!

I just recently watched Gridiron Gang. I enjoyed it.

Now if you want a date movie if you have a hottie coming over, I can give you the chick flicks to watch.


P.S. Hollywoodland was OK. A little off the wall and odd. But overall it was decent.

I hope to the Good Lord above you're not in any of them.

It is quite sad that you know the names of these movies.
