That's one of my all time favorites: pure genius. I can't believe I actually teared up in the scene where Eugene Levy and Cathrine O'Hara kiss. Christopher Guest has a new one coming out soon- aren't a couple of The Office cast members involved in that?

Yeah, I'm glad you guys like Christopher Guest...he's one of my all-time favorite directors/writers. And Eugene Levy, gotta give him credit for writing too.

Although I guess I should expect most people here to love his work considering it's done in a mockumentary style.

His new movie is "For Your Consideration," here's the trailer- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470765/traile...lay-E29476-10-2

Ricky Gervais has a role in the film...I doubt it's too big though. They like to stick with their usual cast. =)

Thanks for that!

Oh yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one here obsessed with musicals too

OMG!!!!!!! You and me both. I could not believe it when I went with a friend who had seen this movie and loved it. I could not stand it! I honestly wanted to reach into the screen and tear Tea Leoni's head (which her mouth is attached to) off!! She was so spastically annoying I could not take her. I kept wondering why Adam Sandler's character was with her in the first place.

You guys are good at listing your favorite movies. I have one all time favorite but everything else changes so often! I have so many it is so hard to narrow them down.

Speaking of The Notebook. At my theater they gave out tissues as you walked in. I had read the book so I knew what to expect but I was blubbering anyway. I purposely wore no mascara going into that movie.

I love Christopher Guest too! My favorite is Best in Show.

WHAT?!?!?!

way back many moons ago, when The Little Mermaid was on VHS, a clever disney cover artist 'slipped' in a penis on the cover. Only the truly twisted can find penis' under the seas. Its the precursor to EYE SPY with my little eye

Stroszek
One Last Dance
Apocalypse Now
Stalker
Ravenous
The Seventh Seal
Wild Strawberries
Kontroll
Aguirre: The Wrath of God

...missing a few, but I really like these.

Hahaha definately the exact same thing for me! Tea Leoni's character was like schizophrenic or something...it drove me INSANE! Me and my sister just kept looking at eachother like "when is this going to be over?!?" Also, I really just don't like Adam Sandler in general. I think his voice is obnoxious. Haha thats amazing that the theatre handed out kleenex! Yep, the first time I saw it I rented it with my friend. We were sobbing at the end. I seriousley cannot get through that movie! Its just so freaking sad.

No, there are several of us on the board. You're in good company.

oh forgot a great classic...basket case. special effects at it's best. Has anyone seen the sketch movie, can i still do it til i wear glasses??? or good bye cruel world. Cant find them anywhere. yes, i have seen some truly messed up stuff lol

Better Off Dead with John Cusack is definitely an 80's should be classic.

lol. Never heard of this controversy? Let me think back to oh. . . 1989 . . . supposedly in one of the scenes one of the male characters, (the king?), has a "protruberance". Many thought someone at Disney was having a big laugh.

It was the priest during the wedding scene.

*faints from forgetting*

Thanks Muffyduffy. I only watched it once, and that was in 1989. My daughter hasn't discovered it at Target yet, but I think grandma has plans. . . .

I have "Can I Do It 'Til I Need Glasses?". I picked it up for fifty cents when a local video store was going out of business. PM me. I'll see if I can dub it.

I've only watched it once and I don't remember it being very good.

I plan on buying The Break Up with Vince Vaughn & Jennifer Manniston, even though I cant stand her. I think i need a med check.

Excellent favorites!

Jimmy Stewart in my opinion has been highly underrated. Most just know him from Its a wonderful life. Jimmy was raised not to far from where I live now. His hometown was Indiana, Pennsylvania. He also joined the Air Force a year before WWII started and ended up retiring as a brigadier general.

Rear Window and Mr. Hobbs takes a vacation are my favorites of Jimmy Stewart.

I saw The Departed this weekend, I really liked it. But, I like gory gang movies.

It seemed like Resovoir Dogs mets The Godfather with a double conspiracy in Southie (Boston) and everyone in the end dies.

How could I have forgotten that one? One of my all time favs along with Psycho.

You added Feebles

they don't make enough bad words for me to use against you right now.


i did!! that movie is being passed around like a tijuana hooker amongst my friends right now...they all love it. some of them have already seen it, but years ago and didn't even know you could still buy it.
genius suggestion grasshopper.

hahah, nicolita, your avatar makes me laugh. At Comicon in san diego this past year there were tons of happy tree friends walking around for people to take pictures with.

sorry.

i would have squealed like an actual school girl!!


give me all your swedish fish and we'll call it good.

Sweedish fish are incredible.

this is awesome. while surfing that cafepress site from the products thread.

I found this. I talked about this movie too.

HEAVYWEIGHTS

I second that...oooh man how I could use some Swedish fish right now.

About the Notebook...I kind of knew the premise of the story going in, and I'm a chick, so I usually cry at sappy chick flicks.

But! I rented this and watched it at home, and those certain scenes (don't want to give anything away) had me sobbing so hard I couldn't catch my breath! Not just a few tears, not just outright crying, but sobbing from the bottom of my soul!

Sometimes you're just in the right mood for a good cry when you see something, and it may not affect you the same way next time, but man did that movie do me in!

It was like that with The English Patient, which I saw over and over at the theater. At the end, when Ralph Fiennes' character pushes the morphine vials to the nurse so she'll kill him with an overdose...oh boy!

Stapler!

I was finally going to get around to renting that one this weekend. What's the point now?

i can think of only three things that are better.
and it's gotta be the original raspberry.
word.

That song was so perfect for the movie and so good that I went home immediately and googled until I found what it was and then went and got the album and I am now a huge DKM fan.

I had heard of them but had never really heard them but I had a tiny inkling of an idea that it might be them just because the song sounded Irish and punky but I really had no idea how much I would enjoy the album that song came from.

Really, I liked the movie just fine but that song was the highlight and a total score. It's very rare that I find a new band that moves me these days. (Well, they aren't new but I'm new to them)

And CC, your list of movies was awesome. I'm down with all things Tarantino.

Other faves of mine are: Clerks, the aforementioned Monty Python...Grail (And all other MP flicks to be honest), FOr some reason I really enjoy most things that Will Farrell has been in. Anchorman being maybe my fave. today. Haven't seen Talladega yet...I'm a sucker for Star Wars and Star Trek too - any and all of them any time anywhere - that's the geek in me.

The only point to rent it is for Ralph Fiennes, simple as that

YES!

My favorite movie of all time!

Is anyone else an aspiring filmmaker?

I'm in the middle of re-writing a zombie script and man... it's really hard. I'm pretty good with writing dialogue, but it's the action descriptions that get me. My movie makes very little sense the way I wrote it. Thats the problem I always had in creative writing class- realistic characters, good story structure, but not very descriptive. It's only gotten worse since I've graduated, my vocabulary is more limited.

I'm an aspiring scriptwriter- does that count??-lol

twss

I want my two dollars!

"The whole state of Northern California's gonna Be there!"
-Better off dead

"Do you know what the street value of this snow would be"
-Better off Dead-

Has anyone seen Run Lola Run? It is fabulous. Even if you don't enjoy foreign films, you will like it. Or else.

OK, in no particular order

The Godfather I & II (not III)
American Beauty
Fight Club (see my avatar)
Superman I & II (not the rest)
Gandhi
Akira
Clerks / Chasing Amy (not the rest ... haven't seen Clerks 2 yet)
Heat
Groundhog Day
The Departed (yes, it's already that good)
Tombstone
Transformers the movie (give me a break, it's a childhood favorite)
Terminator 1 & 2 (not 3)
Before Sunset / Before Sunrise
Closer
Crash

I also like a lot of Indian cinema, or Bollywood films, as they're commonly called. I can't speak Hindi, so I watch them on DVD with English subtitles. They're usually very long (3 hours is an average length) and they have a ... unique tendency to burst into song and dance several times during a movie, like a Disney film. I don't mind it, actually. It grows on you.

Closer is a favorite of mine as well. I havent heard the word _uck used so many times! Clive Owen can talk dirty to me! *adjust her granny shawl*
