I just saw "oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" and I recommend it highly, it was great! "Magnolia" was weird, but good, I liked it too. (I live in Sweden remember, I think we're always a few months behind the states on this stuff.)

Your pal, -doc-

Pulp Fiction

Queen of Hearts

Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Stired Up
American History X

Yep we are behind Doc...I will try to get my friend to record some movies off of pay-for-view to send to me...that way I will be ahead. Cost one of my friends to send a vcr tape and 2 t-shirts $75...can you believe that?

~sigh~ I couldnt sleep last night so I watched a movie about 4am
but now I dont know the name of it or the actors name.... it's a fairly new movie on HBO
about 2 cops that go undercover and there is a famous black guy as their boss...the guy they get close to ..trying to take down is CRAZY....and some really old man dying of heart problems...has a silver tube filled with mercury sewn into his stomach to smuggle it into the country to the crazy guy....then they kill him...take it out...and sell it to some guys for 100 million dollars in bonds for these guys to make a huge bomb with. One cop seems to be a wuss and one is major tough...the tough one (famous actor that I can't remember his name) dies in the end and the wuss cop rides off on a motorcycle with the money. It was a great movie but no idea what it's called.


Most of my favs have been mentioned so I won't repeat them


~Sanity is madness put to good use~

Princess Bride and anything by akira kurosawa

[edit] oh yeah, 12 monkeys and cube [/edit]

Lion King
Independence Day

Dogma
Payback
Any Jackie Chan movie
The Whole Nine Yards
Highlander( an oldie, but a goodie)
Starship Troopers



The more I learn about people, the more I like my computer.

oh, damn, the movie "Pi" is made in Black and White, but it's considered an awsome movie to me!! really, I highly recommand if you didn't watch it!! the only thing I hate about it is that.. it's too short! and the ending kinda leaves you suspended.

hm, I dont think I saw unbreakable in blockbusters, and tomb raider is still in the theater, max.

Prayer of the Rollerboys

I've been wanting to see Pi for awhile.

Lessee... good movies...

Strange Brew (which is Hamlet, if you watch carefully)
The Commitments
MST3k: Final Sacrifice
MST3k: Pumaman
MST3k: Space Mutiny
MST3k: Mitchell
Blazing Saddles " 'Scuze me while I whip this out..."
The Frisco Kid
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Henry V
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (though I liked the book better)


The MST3k movies are damn hysterical. I know Mitchell, at the very least, is available on video.

Y'know, for a (very) short time, I was part of a 'movie club' where someone picked a movie that the others hadn't seen and would probably like. I was 'invited out' after I insisted on showing a Mystery Science Theater episode for my pick, because the movie, in its MST3k form, hadn't had a cinematic showing and was just a TV show. I can't fathom why they would shoot something down for such a hideously stupid reason. Buncha intellectual snobs.

Um, the point... ah, yes; DON'T BE LIKE THAT!

I just gotta jump in here with my all time favorite: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Supposedly there is another Indiana Jones movie being tossed around as a possibility. Anyone heard any rumors about it?

Some other favorites old and new ... Gone with the Wind, Meet the Parents, Full Metal Jacket, Aliens, Terminator 2, Amadeus ... hmmm, I guess more old than new, don't get out much.

Murphy's 50 Laws of Combat Operations

The Big Red One

..did any one say The Big Labowski (sp?)

I love the 2 e's = The Last Emperor & Empire of the Sun

... but my all time fav has got to be "Clash of the Titans", and every time I see it, seems it gets better and better 'cause the animation looks older and cheesier as time goes on! That movie rocks!

Army of the Dead (As a comedy, not as an action-adventure as it is intended to be. Then again, there is no way in hell this is on DVD. Wow, just reread this topic, and timothymcnulty knows whats up!)

Well...Lux and me have got a piece of good news. We won tickets to go see the melbourne red carpet premiere of Final Fantasy. I have no idea what the movie is about, but at the moment I really couldn't care less.




In the beginning, there was the word...and the word was 'God', although by the time it reached the other end of the phone line... the word was 'Gznd'

The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover

and....

Eraserhead

Hey, Skaarjj, when are you going to see it? I'm really curious about that movie... mind giving your opinion here when you've seen it?

from dusk till dawn

clooney is just so damn cool ...
