What's the last movie you watched?

[*amy*]

Pretty Woman

As many times as I've seen Pretty Woman, it always makes me smile. Can't help but love Roy Orbison

Oh, Pretty Woman - Vivian Dressing Up

Amazing Grace, wifes choice from Netflix. Then the kids watched Ratatouille.

Oh Sattie, I just love The Green Mile! It makes me cry every time...

I haven't seen Fast Food Nation but recently watched Super Size Me. It is sometimes hard work, but I'm a happy vegetarian!

Yea, the Green Mile gets me too.. I was just a blubbering mess!!!

Fast Food Nation is different than Supersize Me... at the end I think it gets more to the point of the mass production/reality of it all. Kinda hard to take if you ask me.

Texasgirl... Green Mile is a keeper for sure, I watch it any opportunity that I get to. I also have issues with the CGG... but in Bridge to Terrabithia, it did not seem to me it was over used as it is in some movies. So I was able to enjoy it.

O Brother Where Art Thou is another excellent Coen Brothers flick.

I could not agree more, another favorite that I can watch over and over!!! Dapper Dan!

Last night I watched A Good Year with Russell Crowe, really liked it!

Last night I watched 'Leaving Las Vegas'. Boy was that a dark film. However it was very good, despite the depressing content. I took something from 2 people in horrible situations finding a degree of comfort and togetherness from each other despite their predicaments.

We watched "I am Legend" over the weekend. I'm a sucker for sci-fi
(plus Will Smith is a really good actor).

 

[plumies]

I am Legend is on my list! Can't wait to see it.

Las night we watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Yea, it's a good one as well... definately does not leave you all warm and fuzzy at the end!

Barbara L... I don't think I have met a person yet that does not like the Green Mile. Such an uplifting and heart breaking story all at the same time.

Definitely! A lot of people are surprised to find out that The Green Mile (and Shawshank Redemption--another good prison movie) was from a book by Stephen King. He is so known for horror stories. But when you think about it, both those movies have their own kinds of horrors.

Those two movies adapted very well from his books, also.

 

[Maverick2272]

I am watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse tonight!

 

[Maverick2272]

I am Legend is on my list! Can't wait to see it.

Las night we watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

I Am Legend was written by Richard Matheson in 1954 and is a good book. It was first put on film in 1964 as Last Man on Earth, and then remade in 1971 as The Omega Man.

300
I couldn't decide if I was watching a movie or a cartoon. I typically love these kinds of movies, but Troy and Gladiator it ain't. It's just a bit over the top.... One viewing was enough for this movie.

I am with you, it could have been a spectacular movie. Hollywood needs to stop centering many of their movies around the special effects and go back to centering around the plot. I love special effects, but only when used to help tell the story, not take it over.

I wonder if you all don't realize that the actions in the film "300" actually happened. This is a true account of that battle, certainly not a cartoon. Hollywood may have taken a couple of liberties to make the story more interesting, but it is right on target.

 

[sattie]

The Last Mimzy.... Cute little movie.

 

[buckytom]

i watched 'dune" again the other night.

i forgot how artsy certain parts were. good movie, though.

 

[pacanis]

Exactly my point.

Watched "Pearl Harbor" this morning. Every now and again I fill up the DVD player and let 'er rip..... with MY movies not the kids!
I love that one.... my 8 year old has gotten into it too, loves WW2 stuff.
