wildblue 4 #1 April 21, 2005 Looking for good movie ideas. I don't have cable, but I have a blockbuster online subscription and my queue is getting pretty thin. I've resorted to putting in movies I've seen before, but just want to see again. I know we've done this before, but there's a lot of new stuff out there.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingferret 0 #3 April 21, 2005 WOWOW...where to even begin. If you had Netflix, you could sign up as a friend and see all my ratings, queue, etc. I have rated around 500, and I have 60ish in queue. I can give you some idea, but you have to narrow down what you like? Recently watched recommends: I heart huckabees (watch while 'impaired') Fog of War Halo: freefall Warriors Salton Sea Shuan of the Dead Faster ... keeps going....again, waht do you like?-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

wildblue 4 #4 April 21, 2005 No documentaries at the moment, unless they're really really good. I heart huckabees was good? It looked silly... maybe I'll try it. Salton Sea looks good, added that one. Shaun of the Dead was pretty good. Holy crap... I've seen over 100 movies since august. Man it was a crappy Winter!

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #7 April 21, 2005 PLEASE rent The Motorcycle Diaries, if you haven't seen it, yet. I HIGHLY recommend it. Just be prepared to read subtitles, if you do not speak Spanish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about: Shallow Grave - early Ewan McGregor The General - Irish mob Miller's Crossing - and any other coen film (Ladykillers, etc) Resident Evil 2, Van Helsing, Underworld were good for a just mindless action Basic - good plot twist action Still thinking Edit: oh yeah, his goffyness...search....lots of talk rumors, etc. Supposedly something more concrete this year.

mr2mk1g 10 #10 April 21, 2005 The "long way round" with Ewan McGreggor and Charlie Borman. Fantastic series - can get it on DVD. If they have it, rent it. Awsome watch. If not, go with somthing cool like... I dunno... Zulu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #12 April 21, 2005 What? I LOVE Reagan (my family always voted for him and supported him politically), but what does THAT have to do with the movie that I suggested. Have you ever see The Motorcycle Diaries? It's NOT a political movie, not at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflynick 0 #13 April 21, 2005 We watched "Saw" recently - and it was pretty scary!! A great one to watch in a big empty house alone....! "Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels" & "Snatch" are great, and "Trainspotting" is a MUST! Hobbes: "How come we play 'War' and not 'Peace'?" Calvin: "Too few role models."

flyingferret 0 #14 April 21, 2005 Che was a political figure, even if he did not seek to be one per say. The shirt is a take of this shirt: http://www.thoseshirts.com/images/che.jpg It has inspired several: http://www.thoseshirts.com/ Che was marxist...hardcore. So, idealogically he is the anti-Regean, hence the shirt. I have not seen the movie...so was good naturely use a quote from boondock saints to poke at it. I don't support che, and as such don't have much interest in the journey which lead him to become a revolutionary.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

AggieDave 6 #20 April 21, 2005 "Sophie's Choice" was pretty good. Some early Jet Li films are fun too, older stuff such as "Fist of Legend." That's a good one. There are others too, the martial arts is usually amazing.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #22 April 21, 2005 Wow, everything is political for some people. Che's politics is NOT the reason that I recommended the film. I'm from Peru, so it was interesting for me to see South America and South Americans of varying social economic level from back then shown within a film, especially since my own father is a physician from South America. I enjoy experiencing different cultures and exploring the world, even if the politics, religion and values differ from my own. There's no harm in learning about people's differences, and it often makes you value your own beliefs even more. Thankfully my father felt the same way about being open to new cultures, which is why he decided to move to North America. We love living and being a part of this culture. Wildblue ~ If you don't mind movie titles, then have you seen this older one..."Como Aqua Para Chocolate"? It's Like Water for Chocolate". "Blue", "Red", "White" are all also good oldie foreign films. "Les Choristes" is a new one that I also enjoyed. Let me know if you see anything new that you can recommend my way. If I remember from a past PM from you, we have similar taste in films. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #23 April 21, 2005 Nothing personal, VSG, but I was not reading it into Che. If you research, you will find he was a violent political activist. I know the move is not about that, I just choose not to patronize it. Not everything is political, but very few things are objective, by sheer definition.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.
