Indy...the I loved The Lion King, also. The music was awesome!!!IMO....all Disney movies are excellent...my ex and I used to go see each one when they came out. I may have to check out 12 Angry men. I like all genres, except horror (I'm a big chicken when it come to gore), but I love movies that make me think or elicit some type of reaction.

Enchanted was a cute movie, too.

Shawshank Redemption was an awesome movie. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins were excellent.

I never saw Gone With The Wind icon_redface.gif . I'm going to have to see that.

Love Actually

The Sound of Music

Is it a waste of brain space that I could turn the sound off in The Sound of Music and recite the whole thing? icon_redface.gif

When I was in Europe, our tour guide in Salzburg took us to a fountain and said, "This is the fountain that the children dance along the edge of." It was not! I was most annoyed, and the first thing I did when I got home was check my DVD.

Sad, I know.

That's hilarious.....you can't fool a real Sound of Music fan, we know our fountains. lol!

When I was little I remember when my parents got their first VCR and my Mom bought the video of Sound of Music. My poor father was tortured with that movie...I think we watched it continually for weeks. Of course back then we only had 1 T.V in the house so he either watched it or went to bed. icon_lol.gif

Ten Canoes is an Australian film. It's a story about a man telling a story to his younger brother. The story he tells is about two brothers, very much like the man and his brother. It is just fantastic.

I had surgery earlier in the year and was confined to the sofa for 11 weeks. I spent all my time crocheting and watching movies. Ten Canoes was my very favorite from that lot. Do see it!!

I have many favorites but three that I could watch over and over are:

1. Dirty Dancing - Patrick Swayze, need I say more?
2. The Notebook - Beautiful love story
3. The Sixth Sense - one of very few movies that surprised me at the end.

Some other family favorites are - Fargo, Sling Blade, Caddy Shack, Steel Magnolias, The Godfather, Message in a Bottle, anything directed by Clint Eastwood.

Chocolate was wonderful. Yes, Johnny Dep was in it. I have to bring it out every once in a while and watch it.

Check out Tortilla Soup too. I think the food got credit before the actors did at the end.

There are other food movies too. "Because I Said So" has beautifully decorated cakes and it's cute.

I'm a Disney Fanatic, so 1) Anything Disney, 2) Anything with Sean Connery especially Medicine Man, 3) Anything with Denzel Washington, and 4) most movies with Will Smith.

- Sunset Blvd, Gloria Swanson's greatest movie ever!
- Hunt for Red October (Sean Connery, need I say more! ahhhhhhhh!)

I HATE chic-flicks! Hate movies that throw a woman in there just so there's a woman in there (Top Gun is a prime example. Take the Kelley McGillis character out of the movie and you STILL have a great movie!). Hate movies where the special effects are SO obvious they don't even look like part of the movie.




Ok guys.....because of the rave reviews, I'm about to watch 12 Angry Men now thumbs_up.gif I'm curious to see how the plot unfolds and how it ends.

I'd also like to add "Someone Like You" with Greg Kinere (Sp?) and Ashley Judd. Its a cute movie that demonstates how love can develop when you least expect it...even after being jaded from a broken heart.

The Count of Monte Cristo has also become one of my favorites, too. I loved everything about this movie. Set in Europe during the time of Napoleon's exile, it has a little history, romance, backstabbing and REVENGE! I like the fact that the good man, Edmond Dontez, won back everthing that was taken from him. This is another movie I can watch over and over again.

Just finished watching 12 Angry Men....very good. Indy, you were right about how racial bias and human nature were all factors in the deliberation process. It was very thought provoking and emotion inducing. I'll watch it again.

Though very sad...I loved Terms of Endearment. I haven't seen it in years but I cried like a baby every time I saw it.
