skygal3 0 #1 November 29, 2002 it is bitter cold, it is snowing hard, and all I want to do tonight when i get home is lock myself in my house with take out and curl up on the couch with a big comfy blanket and watch a good movie. (key word, good) So, what is a good movie to rent? I haven't really seen anything lately. I am open to just about anything. Well, not porn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 November 29, 2002 Quote Well, not porn I was just about to share my wisdom....and then you threw that stipulation in. I don't watch too many movies so I can't really help ya. I thought Spygame was pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygal3 0 #5 November 29, 2002 anything. I do love creepy creepy horror movies. I love the 80's b horror flicks like summer camp nightmare, 2-7...they don't make cheesy horror flicks like they used to. *sigh*. I just like a good movie. Although I can also get lost in the scenery. Like Serindipity was a cheesy movie, not the greatest, but I have watched it over and over because NY is so beautiful. Action, mystery, comedy, drama, whatever. It's all good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #7 November 29, 2002 Quote it is bitter cold, it is snowing hard It's beautiful weather here in Southern California.. Quote So, what is a good movie to rent? I haven't really seen anything lately. I am open to just about anything. Well, not porn. Some of my favorites: "The Limey" - Starring Terrence Stamp, wonderfully done, subtly entrancing. Not gratuitously violent. "Suicide Kings" - Starring Christopher Walken "Pitch Black" - Starring Vin Deisel, a cultish favorite of mine "Mother Night" - Starring Nick Nolte, based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut, and in my opinion, better than the book. Quite deep, rather intense, but also quite emotional. The only movie I've ever cried over. There's a very visible sub-plot. "Ice Age" - "Pi" - B&W, Indy flick...exceptional, amazing, intense, not for the faint of heart. "Run Lola, Run" - German film, subtitled, wonderful. Add a triple twist to "Sliding Doors" and you have this great flick. "To Live" - Chinese film, also subtitled, heavy communistic propaganda, yet well balanced and quite interesting story following a family through pre-revolutionary China to post revolution in the 50s-60s. "Prince of Darkness" - a John Carpenter film, a diamond in the rough. "The Four Musketeers" (1974) - the one with Charlton Heston and Michael York, an entertaining film of epic proportions. "Office Space" - fantastic comedy, Dilbert comes to life, even if it was produced by the creators or Beavis & Butthead...great flick. Happy viewing......So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Mindcake 0 #8 November 29, 2002 I agree with FF, Spygame was a good movie, i could also reccomend D.O.A. with Dennis Quade and Meg Ryan it is a old 80's flick but it is one of my fav's Jim Don´t belive the hype Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygal3 0 #9 November 29, 2002 Christopher Walken is a great actor...Did you ever see the SNL's when he hosted? Oh, he is *so* funny! Did you ever see Memento? That was a good movie. Hmm..Spygame seems to be in the lead... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm..Spygame seems to be in the lead... Yes to all the above. If you've not seen Spy Game, get it for sure! Of course, if you're anything like me, one just isn't enough...in which case see aforementioned list... Another good Walken flick: King of New York. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
