I love SLJ I just think he needs to read some scripts before he accepts the roles.

BW Yeah M.A. is a decent flick I liked it .

P.S. Looks like we were watching Contact on the same channel LOL

I am watching Notting Hill right now

I just watched two movies that I thought were good. "Idiocracy" and "The Science of Sleep". I especially like Idiocracy. I though it would be terrible, but I had to see it because I think Mike Judge is very funny. It was really funny and a scary look at what the future could be like.

I've chosen my top movies in honor of the day. The History Channel and PBS have many amazing documentaries on our presidents that are well worth watching, and I prefer those to the "Hollywood" versions of our history, but here are some others that I enjoy:

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: I actually had a teacher in high school who quit his law practice and became a Government teacher after watching this movie. It's an American classic, and Jimmy Stewart at his best.

All the President's Men: This is all around such a great movie. It's not overly dramatic but will keep you hooked, and I had a good time watching this again last year after "Deepthroat" was finally revealed.

Dave: A romantic comedy set in the White House. A bit cheesy at times, but you know what? Somehow it works in this one. I love this movie, and Kevin Kline is just incredible.

Dick: Okay, I've just lost my credibility by adding this one, but seriously, if you haven't seen this, it's worth a look! I didn't watch it for the longest time because it looks like an annoying teenage chick flick, but it's a hilarious spoof on the Watergate scandal that is really well done. And come on, the title makes you curious, doesn't it?

All the President's Men is one of my all time favorite movies!

Dave is an understated classic.

Notting Hill is Hugh Grant's best, Fechin!

Great post! Saves me from having to type an almost identical post. I agree with everything you wrote here.

Last night I saw the trailer for Zodiac, (I know someone commented on it pages back). This is my all time favorite crime mystery, and doubly fascinating since it took place here in the Bay Area and some down in So. Cal. The guy who remained the number 1 suspect just recently died in the last year. If you're looking forward as much as I am to seeing this film and haven't read the book by Robert Graysmith, I highly recommend that you read it before seeing the film. It is truly an unnerving and fascinating story. Here's the link.

Zodiac

I love this unsolved case too! Jack the Ripper is still my number 1, but Zodiac is a close 2nd! I'm definitely looking forward to the movie. I contemplated getting the book, but I've already done a lot of reading on the official Zodiac website and on Crime Library.com so I wasn't sure it would be worth it. Maybe I'll pick it up though.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to Zodiac!

I'd just get one of the millions of used copies floating around out there. Can you recommend a website?

ZodiacKiller.com
It's got lots of great information!

Watching V for Vendetta now maybe one of the best movies ever

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Yeah, V for Vendetta was really good, one of my favourites.

I also watched Goblet of Fire last night good stuff

JUST GOT THE PRESTIGE TODAY!!!

I am in love with that movie, my new obsesion.

I highly reccommend it to you all!

I have heard it's the best thing ever or it sucks so I'll rent it too see for myself. LOL

It is definitely a must to see!

I believe it is the best!
^Well, that is just me....

If you like Christian Bale or Batman Begins you will love this!
Or Michael Cane...

See it, see it, see it!

Well I like Michael Cane and BB was pretty good

I'll rent it when I can

Has anyone seen the Italian Job? Is it worth watching? Someone dropped off a bag of DVDs for me, but most of them aren't really my thing, and I hadn't even heard of TIJ. Anyone have a review for me?

I wasnt a fan for it, i dont know why but it was so-so acting

Yahoo review

Profanity: Some strong language Nudity/Sex Sexual references Alcohol/Drugs: Drinking and smoking Violence/Scariness: Tense scenes, characters killed, main characters are crooks but non-violent Diversity Issues: Diverse characters strong and loyal Release Date: May 30, 2003

I want to see Zodiac. My mom watches AMW every Saturday religiously, and they have tons of snippets involving him on the show. It's the only part i'm willing to watch. I should mention it to her and see if she wants to see it.

Is that last part for real? I don't know about you, but I plan all of my movie experiences around the diversity of its characters, as well as their character traits. WOW.

The Italian Job was a pretty good movie IMO

i wish i had a pic of me, i have no camera or scanner but my friends sister saw a poster for black snake moan and said looks like you made another movie. now my hair is shorter I dont look like her so much. watching dwights all time fav movie..the crow.

I like the Italian Job, those movies are very cool.


Soo, anyone buy/rent the Prestige besides me?

I guarantee you will love it.
It is the kind of movie you have to watch many more times...
You will want to watch it again the second its over!

I watched it twice last light...before LOST of course...

It's in my Blockbuster queu - should I move it up ahead of the rest of Rome, Season 1?

I watched The Devil Wears Prada the other night - it was good, not great, but much better than the book. The best thing about the movie was all the great fashions.

I got that movie for Christmas. I thought it was good. I liked all the clothes in the movie too

Great Audrey Tautou movie: He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. It's one of those movies that you can't even describe without giving away the whole thing, so just trust me, it's really good.

Simon Birch was on this afternoon. Came out of nowhere and had me crying like a baby. My husband didn't cry but "got emotional". I haven't seen it in years and I forgot how much I love it!

The movies I crave at least once a year or more:

1) Charlie Brown Christmas
2) After The Sunset
3) Ground Hog Day (My girlfriend and I played it in spanish one night (we don't understand spanish) but it cracked us up
4) Miracle One of the players was from my highschool and wow what an accomplishment
5) Young Frankenstien

I like this movie called... The Calcium Kid. With Orlando Bloom.

Calcium Kid, excellent movie!

Dawn, definitely move The Prestige up! You must watch it now.
All of you should!
I can't watch it enough for all of you!
Well, I can, but that is not the question.
DO IT!

I got 2 new Netflix movies today: Napoleon Dynamite and For Me and My Gal. I watched Napoleon Dynamite this afternoon- I hadn't seen that movie for a year or 2 and I forgot how funny it was I'm going to watch the other movie tonight.

I still think Napoleon Dynamite is the worst movie I saw in my life. LOL

Are you kidding?! Gosh..... I guess it goes to show how my sense of humor is....

No I mean I get why people like it but it's one of the few movies I lost IQ points watching it.

It seems people either really like it or just think it's the worst thing ever LOL

Prestige anyone?

Not yet LOL

I will though soon I promise

You better.

has anyone seen reno 911 yet?

OMG!!! YESSSSS!! I love that movie! I love the ending! SO creepy! And it's so true: you can't describe it without giving away the whole thing. I did that on accident once. Oops. But i'll say this: nothing in that movie is what you think it is for at least the first half. I want to rent that now...

Elien--I love the Thin Man films!! Actually, and I might be crucified for saying this, I think William Powell and Myrna Loy could give John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer a run for their money as far as on-screen chemistry.

Let's call it a draw to be safe

I have Spaceballs on right now.

Last night my friend and I were talking about good spoof-movies (Hot Shots) vs. horrible ones (Date Movie. Horrible, awful movie)....and my favorite one is Spaceballs. Good stuff.

What the heck happened to the genre?

I love the Thin Man movies! Powell and Loy's chemistry is amazing - there's a scene at the end of the first movie (I think, correct me if I'm wrong!) when they are on a train and he tells her that he's not going to sleep in the top bunk. They give each other this look that's R-rated. Besides the chemistry, I love his joking, arrogance and constant drinking. Oh yeah, and the mysteries - those are good too!

Anyone see Music and Lyrics?

Yep- I saw it about a week ago. Here was my post about it:

I saw it yesterday with Tyler. I'm going to see it again with Elaine and Alyssa tomorrow. I really enjoyed it, even though most of the references went straight over my head.

You mean 80's references?

I saw "Flushed Away" last night with my family. It's a cute family movie, even if it does contain some slants towards the French.
