Movies & TV shows

[abcat1993]

Okay, there's a favorite shows and music thread now, how about favorite movies? I like all the Star Wars movies, Lord of the Rings, Back to the future (watching it now), and I'll probably think of some more obvious ones for me.

[Stefan-A]

I'm really into B-movies. Especially horror movies, zombie movies, sci-fi and (to some extent) fantasy. I like the Evil Dead series and the first two in George Romero's "Dead" series (and the remakes).

[Sid]

My main intrest would be action movies with actors like Bruce Willis, Stephen Segal or Chuck Norris to name a few. All of the Lord of the rings were great and I to like some of the horror flicks.

Sid

[Snaky]

I'm a big movies fan and I see about any kind of movie in any kind of language. So I'm always very interested if people advice some of their 'classics'. In no particular sequence, these are some movies I recommend:

English language:
-Lord of the rings trilogy
-American history X
-Pappilon
-Eternal Shunshine of the spotless mind
-The shawshank redemption
-The godfather 1 (shame on me, but haven't seen the others yet)
-Million dollar baby

other languages:
- Daens
- Hero
- City of god ( cidade de deus )
- lola rennt
- Das boot

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but this liste came to mind :p

[GarterGuy]

Hmmm....favorites...there's so many good ones...well here goes...
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Alien
Aliens
Matrix (1st one was the best by far!)
Kiss of the Dragon
Fearless (Another Jet Li, but this one was Chinese lang.)
MontyPython and the Holy Grail (NEE!!!)
Jaws
X-Men (trilogy of sorts)
KillBill
Dogma
Casino Royale (up there with the best of the Bonds!)
SinCity
Underworld
Hellboy
...all I can think of now, but sure there's more!:D

[Sid]

After reading Snaky's reply I have to agree with The shawshank redemption. It was really a good one.

Sid

[Stefan-A]

I like most movies that GarterGuy and Snaky mentioned, but not really the X-Men movies, Underworld or Dogma. I also can't stand any movie with Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell, or anyone of the Baldwin family. Well, except for Stephen Baldwin who was in good movies like The Usual Suspects and The Beast of War.

It is really hard for me to say which my favorite movies are, you'd first have to sort them according to theme.

ps. Dark City is better than The Matrix. ;)

[Thamnophis]

Saw I
Saw II
Saw III (in a few weeks)
Lord of the Rings I II III

[abcat1993]

I also can't stand any movie with Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell, or anyone of the Baldwin family.
Alex Baldwin (I'm pretty sure it was him) was in my Social Studies teacher's class. And some more famous people that I forgot.

[Spiderqwan]

I can watch pretty much anything if its well made and well scripted but I think one of my all time favorite films would have to be Its A Wounderful Life just about the best film to make you feel....

[Spiderqwan]

Snakes on a plane however is pretty bad LOL

[Stefan-A]

Snakes on a plane however is pretty bad LOL
Don't get me started.

[Gijs & Sabine]

Like music I also like a lot of different movies. For example:

- Geronimo
- Dances with wolves
- Braveheart
- Storm of centuries
- Thornbirds
- The sting
- The usual suspects
- The green mile
- Lord of the rings
- Ben Hur
- Se7en
- The neverending story
- 13 ghosts

and I really like Johny Depp and Nicolas Cage :
- Pirates of the caribean
- What's eating Gilbert grape ?
- From hell
- Sleepy hollow
- Face off
- City of angels
- National treasure
- Bringing out the dead

I'm sure there are a lot more.

Sabine

[GarterGuy]

Oh yeh, I forgot about Sleepy Hollow....that was a really fun, freaky movie!:D

[Elliot]

Last Samurai
Windtalkers
A River Runs Through It
Cars (lol)
All of the Scary Movies (the spoof ones)
Lord Of The Rings
Star Wars
There's more but I can't remember them all.

[abcat1993]

Snakes on a plane however is pretty bad LOL
I haven't seen it, but I'm assuming it is since all snake movies I've seen are bad. Or practically any movie that's based on something with a bad reputation (Spiders, Snakes, etc.).

[KITKAT]

The best current movie that I have seen is The Pursuit of Happyness.

Awesome!:cool:

[Markus18]

my favorite movies are


forest gump
terminal
the davinci code (i like the most movies with tom hanks)
cast away
city of god
jurassic park 1 (when i was a kid i saw this movie everyday)
and all the shows with rob bredl (but sometimes he dont do good things)
and all animal and nature movies!


im not really like action movies or comedians;)

[abcat1993]

im not really like action movies or comedians;)
:eek: Those have to be favorite movies.

[ssssnakeluvr]

hmmmmm....there's so many...

Evolution, Cars, the Incredibles, Independence Day, Chicken Little, Armageddon, Michael, Running Scared (the old one with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines).......

[El Nino]

my favorite movies are
the davinci code (i like the most movies with tom hanks)


Years ago, Tom Hanks was in town filming "Sleepless in Seattle".

During that time, I was a waiter at a restaurant called "Palomino"...anyway, Mr. Hanks and Nora Ephron were dining at the aformentioned restaurant. The two of them were some of the rudest diners I had ever dealt with. They whined about everything like some typical pathetic coked up celebrities (yes I know, it doesn't sound like what one would expect of T.H.).

Needless to say, I've never been a fan of either one of them since that rotten experience.

[KITKAT]

Sounds like me and Bob Hope... he came into a restaurant where I worked, and was extremely haughty and nasty.

Oops! I just "dated" myself! :o

[Cazador]

I've heard that about Bob Hope... that he was so into self-promotion that he could be a real jerk when not in front of "the troops."

[ssssnakeluvr]

My brother is a pit boss out in Wendover Nevada....he had a similar experience with Robin Williams....said he was a real jerk!!!! On the other hand, he met Will Smith, just the opposite, very nice guy.

[abcat1993]

Really? I can't picture Robin Williams as a jerk. And since when do famous people go out to so many restaraunts? A strange coincidence.

[Stefan-A]

I don't think it's that hard to picture him as a jerk, even if he usually (always?) plays a likeable character. The same goes for Hanks. They're only human.

[sschind]

Top 5 in no particular order

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (always near the top for me. No better cast ever assembled IMO. Buddy Hackett was one of the funniest men I have ever heard and Johnathan Winters played his part as well as I have seen any actor play a part)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I have a wooden Badger)

Papillon (who cares if he made it up)

The Great Escape (I like Steve McQueen)

Tommy Boy (Could get bumped out of the top 5 but I still haven't seen a funnier movie since)

The Sting (could get bumped out of the top 5 but I love the plot twists)

Others that might crack the top 5 depending on my mood.

Shawshank Redemption (has anyone made more movies than Morgan Freeman? Good thing he is such a great actor)

Mel Brooks History of the World Part One (Still waiting for part two)

Young Frankenstein (Gene Wilder is one of the best comic actors I've ever seen)

Blazing Saddles (More Mel Brooks anyone)

Braveheart (the Other Mel I am a fan of, this is his best)

Gladiator (Don't really like Russell Crowe but I really liked this one)

See no Evil Hear no Evil (Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder. See above comment on Wilder, and Richard Pryor paved the way for every black comedian to come after him. Plus he was just plain funny )

Oh, and I almost forgot

Schindler's List (and not for the reason you might think. The red coat was a thing of genius.)

There are more but these are all I could think of for now. I usually make it a point to watch each of these at least once a year.

[Snaky]

I usually make it a point to watch each of these at least once a year.
I've seen some movies twice, all my favourites... I wouldn't have time to see any new ones:p

The Green Mile.
Scent of a Woman.
The Little Mermaid!
Zulu.

[GrapefruiTgirl]

There was released in theatres today (atleast in my locale) a movie called '30 days of night' which is a vampire movie.
There are scads of vampire movies out, to be sure, however this one looks really wicked! I am wondering if the movie is actually as good as it looks in the previews, and/or whether they have once again showed all the good parts in the preview, and the actual movie sucks.

Has anyone got plans to see it? I'd like to go to a movie sometime soon, as it has been a long long time, and this genre/type of movie would be right up my alley, so if you see it, DO NOT tell me about it, but--- was it good??

:)

[adamanteus]

and the actual movie sucks.:)

Vampire movie.....that's a pun, right?:D

[Bay_area]

I wanted to see it tonight, but my Granddaughter(age 3) ended up here & my wife said we couldn't take her to see it:eek:

[GrapefruiTgirl]

Vampire movie.....that's a pun, right?:D

LMFAO :) NO, it wasn't intended to be a pun, but so it is !! Heh ehhe heh

[enigma200316]

I love those types of movies, and to tell you the truth even the ones that have not been great, I still have watched them anyway, so I guess what I'm saying is even if it sucks I'd probably say it was ok.............:)

[Stefan-A]

Never been a big fan of vampire movies. I think Buffy ruined the entire vampire genre for me.

[Lulu Bennett]

blade has to be the best. i has got to be amazing to impress me lol

[Stefan-A]

The first Blade movie was okay, the second and third did what vampires do.

[Lulu Bennett]

lol stefan i loved them all lol they were great. omg and interview with the vampire WOW!!! lol

[Stefan-A]

Why am I not surprised.. :D Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the same movie. ;)

[enigma200316]

Why am I not surprised.. :D Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the same movie. ;)


it was a good movie, but not because of them, because the story was good thats why.....the first Blade was very good, the second alright, and the third was ok, but I think the best Vampire movie so far are the Underworld movies, but thats just me..............:D

[Stefan-A]

Underworld.. Kate Beckinsale in black latex and leather. I'm still not surprised. :D

[Lori P]

I'm not into vampire movies necessarily, but, Blade Trinity: Ryan Reynolds all buffed up and with that goatee... yeah. (drool) I own that one just to watch him. LOL :-)

[enigma200316]

aren't we suppose to like the movie because its a good movie, and not because of who's in it...........:rolleyes::D

[drache]

it all depends on what you're into . . .

[Lori P]

aren't we suppose to like the movie because its a good movie, and not because of who's in it...........:rolleyes::D

I believe that's how it's supposed to go. But I tend to be more superficial-- I'll watch anything that has a good looking guy in it!!!! LOL

[Stefan-A]

aren't we suppose to like the movie because its a good movie, and not because of who's in it...........:rolleyes::D
Supposed to? No, not in my opinion. :) Besides, everybody has a different opinon about what makes a movie good and for many it does matter who's in it. It's just a personal observation, but I've noticed that a lot of people tend to make the good/bad decision based on how good looking the main characters are.

I'm not judging, I'm just making an observation. ;)

I do the same thing, I just wanted to throw that out there........;):D

[CrazyHedgehog]

Wild Hogs,
have just watched it ...
(And besides John Travolta still being sexy at 50....ohhhh...I am digressing....;))
It was by far the funniest film I have seen in the last 10 years,
It is just hysterical!!!:D

[krystalirelan@southslope.]

the hubby and kids are watching lord of the rings, i don't get it. it's an ok movie. does any one have in site i should know?

[Charlet_2007]

yeah its about good and evil.. i think its a good movie... all 3 of them...

[Stefan-A]

The Encyclopedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/ARDA/)

[adamanteus]

It's the classic battle between good and evil. Same old story... of course good prevails as is always the case. Yeah, right!:rolleyes:
Excellent trilogy though. Loved the books.

[KITKAT]

Whether good always prevails, depends on when you end the movie!

:p

[Bay_area]

Look @ the ring as a symble of sin.
I like the 2nd one the best.

[Lulu Bennett]

LotR is the best movie ever, but i love The Hobbit the book better.
I defo think that they should have made The Hobbit the first film!

[Serpentine99]

yeah it was a good a book a little hard to get into at first but it gets really good.

[Stefan-A]

I liked The Hobbit, even if it didn't really fit in with the rest of the LotR universe. Well, it was written as a kids' book. :)

[Serpentine99]

well i think it introduces some things you might need to know like the relationships between each of the creatures, and what kind of personality gandalf has

[Stefan-A]

It does establish a lot of things, relationships for one, but it also introduces the ring itself, which doesn't have any of the sinister qualities it does have in the LotR series. It pretty much lacks the mythology altogether.

[stonyloam]

As I recall (I read the HOBBIT in 1969), it did not start out as a book, but as a series of letters by Tolkien to his son in the British Army during World War II. A true time of good vs. evil.

[adamanteus]

Okay. If you were a character from Lord of the Rings, who would you be and why?:D

[GarterGuy]

Tolkien is actually considered the father of what we know of fantasy worlds that have been used in many stories and games. LotR is a story primarily of good vs. evil, but it's not as simple as that. There are lessons of compassion, responsibilty, honor, love, friendship, ect. throughout the story. A lot of people have compared it to the story of the Bible, events during WWII, ect. I've read all the books including the LotR trilogy, the Hobbit, the Simerilian and also play a RPG that is based off of the Tolkien universe for more then 15yrs. now. A real basic description of LotR would be an epic story of Good triumphing over Evil and the passing on of the world to a new era. Oh and to answer James's Q....it'd have to be Legolas....he totally kicks a** and hey, he's an Elf so he's all but immortal....works for me.;)

[Serpentine99]

Aragon for me. Hes a king and hes got a chick. Along with the awesome sword abilities it doesnt get much better than that.

[adamanteus]

I've read all the books including the LotR trilogy, the Hobbit, the Simerilian

I've read them all. I must admit I found The Silmarillion rather hard going....Almost dull. There is a collection of stories, compiled by Christopher Tolkien...'Unfinished Tales', that's pretty good.

[Stefan-A]

Samwise Gamgee. He's a true and loyal friend, he's resourceful and the voice of reason throughout the story and he gets very little credit for it. And he gets his girl, too. :D His contributions to the quest were greater than anybody else's, really. He looked after his mule Frodo and even carried him up Mount Doom.

[adamanteus]

I'll be Faramir, unrecognised and under appreciated hero........he also gets a girl (even if she can't cook!)... although my wife thinks I should be Gollum.... "What's 'taters', precious?":D

[KITKAT]

Let's see... I'm built like Gimli (but no beard) ... I'm as old as Bilbo when Frodo meets him again at Rivendell... and I tend to do things that were not common to my gender when I was young, like Eowyn.

:D:eek::D

[salzar]

hi all , love the books all of them have read them 3 or 4 times lost count!!! and have never gotten tired of them , I would be a elf... and the hardest book of all is the pre history of middle earth the book called the simarillion.... goodness whas it hard to follow!!
but good!!
all the best wrighters seem to come from the UK.. bye
michelle

[Stefan-A]

I'm watching the extra material of the The Return Of The King Special Extended DVD Edition right now. :)

[GarterGuy]

I've read them all. I must admit I found The Silmarillion rather hard going....Almost dull. There is a collection of stories, compiled by Christopher Tolkien...'Unfinished Tales', that's pretty good.


Yeh, the Silmarillion (thanx for the spelling correction, always screw that up!:rolleyes:) was a really hard read. Haven't read Unfinished Tales, but good to hear that someone liked it. It always worries me when a relative puts out some stuff, just after the original stuff becomes popular.

[Stefan-A]

I didn't find the difference between the two books to be that big. Both are barely readable. ;)

[adamanteus]

Haven't read Unfinished Tales, but good to hear that someone liked it. It always worries me when a relative puts out some stuff, just after the original stuff becomes popular.

"Unfinished Tales" isn't new.... I read it maybe 12 or 15 years ago! It's written by JRR, but edited and 'finished' by Christhopher.

[KITKAT]

My favorite short story by JRR Tolkien is "Leaf, by Niggle".:D

[Stefan-A]

20 minutes left of Cloverfield. I'm pleasantly surprised. :)

[mycolorfulheart]

aren't we suppose to like the movie because its a good movie, and not because of who's in it...........:rolleyes::D

There are many movies that I would not have seen had they not included Jonnie Depp. Actually, pretty much all his movies. :D

[Snake lover 3-25]

i like to read vampire books more than watch the movies anyone heard of Twilight by stephenie meyer or Peeps by scott westerfeld

[lestat]

Heres my list

Underworld 1and2
Aliens
Dog Soldiers
Predator1and2
Aliens versus Predator(went and saw the 2nd one twice,on my own when it came out and the next day with my Brother.)
Plus my favorite is Tremors (I Know it's a bit naff to some people but i love it)

[gregmonsta]

Aliens and AVP2 rock my world ... but I love allsorts :S ... I've got over 300 movies in the house.

[adamanteus]

Scent of a Woman.
The Little Mermaid......... What?!!

[gregmonsta]

Scent of a Woman.
The Little Mermaid......... What?!!
rofl .... The Little Mermaid is indeed a classic .... one of the movies responsible for my penchant for redheads lmao .... I blame Disney for everything!!!

[adamanteus]

...also responsible for my penchant for HUGE black ladies with eight legs!:eek:

[anji1971]

The Shawshank Redemption.......I can watch it over and over!
And my most recent fave is The Bee Movie. I thought it was hysterical, laughed till I was crying!

[ssssnakeluvr]

the Bee Movie was good!! also loved Flushed Away and Ratatouille!!!!!

[Stefan-A]

I have no idea how many movies I have. About 3 shelf meters of DVDs, about 40 kilos of VHS tapes and a couple hundred DVDs and CDs. Not to mention the 0.5 terabyte I have on my computer.
Not a huge fan of AvP, although I am a huge fan of both the Alien and Predator movies. In fact, I wish the AvP movies hadn't been made. There's only one reason I own the first Underworld movie and I bet you remember why that is. ;)
Dog Soldiers is my absolute favourite werewolf movie. Enough said.
The Shawshank Redemption is also one of my absolute favourite movies. I have no idea how many times I've watched it. :)


Some of the latest movies I've seen and liked, are:
The Number 23
Planet Terror
Hot Fuzz
Shoot 'Em Up
1408
The Mist
Cloverfield

[mycolorfulheart]

My favorite movies of the past year:

Be Kind Rewind (Awesome! It's not on video yet though, I saw it in theatres. Jack Black + Mos Def erased all the movies at their rental store and have to remake them for their loyal customers.)
I am Legend (Terrifying!)
Michael Clayton (George Clooney is a 'fixer' turned good guy. "I am Shiva, God of death!")
Perfect Stranger (Hallie Berry investigates the murder of her best friend. So good.)
Children of Men (Mankind has been sterile for the past 20 years, when a young African girl--in the now war torn and immigrant-hating country of Britain--gets pregnant. Clive Owen gets roped into bringing her to safety.)
Notes on a Scandal (I'm not going to ruin the plot for you. But it's twisted and oh so good.)
Daywatch (Russian film. Sequel to the mediocre Nightwatch. Light vs. Dark. Surreal, dreamlike, but with lots of good action. Had several good strong female characters. You don't see that alot in movies today--or is it just american movies?)
Hard Candy (Girl/Psycho vs. Paedophile/Good guy? See it! So intense.)

Oh, and I second Stefan on Hot Fuzz and Planet Terror. I liked Death Proof as well. (Planet Terror and Death Proof were part of the 'Grindhouse' feature put together by Quentin Terrintino and Robert Rodriguez. They were shown together in theatres in the US, but separate everywhere else. Yeah I've misspelled a couple people's names in this post.)

[Stefan-A]

Didn't really like I am Legend. It had a lot of potential, but they really messed it up. And the CGI was sub-par. And I made the mistake of finding out some of the differences between the movie and the novel.. :rolleyes:

Haven't had the pleasure of seeing Death Proof yet. For some idiotic reason, it really couldn't be found it any of the stores I've been to. It seems that the morons in charge of importing movies forgot, or just neglected to order copies of that half of Grindhouse. Finding copies of Planet Terror is absolutely no problem, for some reason.. ;)

Liked Night Watch, haven't seen Day Watch yet.

[mycolorfulheart]

I agree it could have been better. And the CGI bothered me too. But overall I loved it!

That sucks about Death Proof. It's completely different from Planet Terror, much more chill and serious, but the ending is superb.

[Stefan-A]

The ending was indeed superb. :D

Unfortunately, Meet the Spartans turned out to be a steaming pile of ****.

[Tori]

I'm a sucker for all the old Sci/Fi/Horror films ever made. And I'll confess...I'm a very big Harry Potter fan. I'm more into books than movies though. Most movies were better in the books than on a screen.

[adamanteus]

Most movies were better in the books than on a screen.

I concur... unreservedly!:)

[count dewclaw]

Narnia is a great movie. Can't wait for Prince Caspian! But I agree the books are always better than the movie. Well, except for the Bourne books (according to my husband).

[Lori P]

You know, when the Bourne movies came out and I heard Matt Damon was lead, I couldn't believe it. There was NO WAY he could play Jason Bourne. But then when I finally watched the first one, I was amazed-- he really did nail it. I've got those books out again to re-read them, haven't read anything Ludlum in a long time.

[Snake lover 3-25]

i LOVE those movies!!!LOL:D

[PINJOHN]

i have just watched TOMBSTONE again, you know the one, the Kurt Russell Val Kilmer version of the OK corral gun fight it's so much better than any other movie on the subject.one added reason for me liking this film is that it contains a piece of amusing verse they don't dwell on it too long so it's easily missed, has any of our eagle eyed members spotted it ?
thought i might offer a small prize for the first one to get it right.

[EasternGirl]

Boondock Saints
Fight Club
Donnie Darko

[chris-uk]

Donnie Darko

Good film. Most people haven't heard of it.

[kibakiba]

I liked Donnie Darko too. My boyfriend said it was just an acid trip kind of movie and thought it was stupid. It's different, but I think he's being a typical guy... :p

[chris-uk]

Steve calling Marnie Idaho in another thread reminds me of one of my other favourite films.
Anyone (other than the wife) care to guess which Woody Harrelson film I was reminded of?

[EasternGirl]

Hmm...I know a lot of guys who love that movie...it is an acid trippy kind of movie...but that's the fun of it. It gets you thinking. I love movies like that. I can't think of any Woody Harrelson films...My Own Private Idaho comes to my mind...but that reminds me...Natural Born Killers! Another one of my favorite movies!

[Stefan-A]

Steve calling Marnie Idaho in another thread reminds me of one of my other favourite films.
Anyone (other than the wife) care to guess which Woody Harrelson film I was reminded of?
No Country for Old Men? Or Zombieland?

[kibakiba]

Zombieland! :D

[EasternGirl]

Zombieland? Never heard of it...

[chris-uk]

Zombieland it is. You've got to love Tallahassee in it. And Wichita makes reasonable viewing too.
If you haven't seen it Marnie look it up, it's a good take on the zombie flick. :)

[EasternGirl]

Will do!

[infernalis]

Rent "Lost Room" kinda like Stephen King meets the Twilight Zone

[EasternGirl]

That looks good..I'll have to watch that. That reminds me...Identity...with John Cusack...that was a good one. I honestly did not expect the ending. If a movie can actually get me with a surprise ending...I'm impressed. Now I want to watch it again.

[PINJOHN]

gard darn it doo i hap'n ta be the only western fan on this here site :mad:.. sure is purdy strange when a brit has ta speke his piece on ahaff of the cowboys ...shucks whats a man gotta do ta get you folks jawin about some decent movies

[kibakiba]

My grandparents loved western movies. When I was a kid we'd have marathon-like days where we watched a ton of movies with cowboys. It was fun.... I kind of miss it.

[PINJOHN]

Chantel your grandparents are my kind of people :)

[kibakiba]

Were, they both passed away. I'm used to tv shows like Matlock and those sorts of things, Older tv was much better than what's on it now.
They were the kind of people that almost anyone could get along with, though.

your obvious strength of feeling about those two people of a previous generation says a lot about you Chantel not all grandparents are remembered with such affection

[kibakiba]

I grew up with them, so it's the only thing I really know. They played a big, big part in my childhood, and I don't have many happy childhood memories, besides them.

[Light of Dae]

I gotta say...

SNAKES ON THE PLANE!

HAHA I laughed so hard at that movie! IT was so stupid! I thought it was supposed to be a comedy lol

jk the movie sucked. I did laugh my arse off at the snakes 'chewing' on the wires though. Animatronic snakes lol what a side kicker! a ha ha ...

I like most any movie with a good plot and good acting. snakes on the plane... was not one of those. lol

my list would be not too different to yours Steve i suppose this means we are a pair of sentimental old duffers :o
i absolutely love a Christmas carol and have many versions of it including cartoon and comedy and believe it or not a western version,.. one of my Christmas present's this year was tickets for the stage show scrooge which is identical to the movie musical [this is the third time i have seen it]

[EasternGirl]

I wish I could get my son to watch A Christmas Carol with me...of course considering I can't even get him to sit through The Grinch That Stole Christmas cartoon version or Frosty the Snowman...I don't think it's likely to happen...

Mine were my heroes. (still are)

[RedSidedSPR]

Just watched The A team.. anyone who watched the old series would get a kick out of it.

I want dark knight rises to release already lol

[infernalis]

I liked A-Team.. the "flying tank" scene was cool.

[EasternGirl]

I haven't seen it yet.

[infernalis]

Don't waste your money on McGruber... that was so dumb, I want my 2 hours back.

[PINJOHN]

This is not a favorite movie or TV show more to do with what may be a personal weird ism, but i think this might be the thread it belongs in.
I am hoping that non of the members after reading it decide to call up my local sanatorium and get them to send around the men in white coats
every time i am watching an American movie or TV show that involves the countryside then i am paying more attention to the terrain than the actors, I am thinking that looks like prime garter territory, i wonder if there are many in that area, and other similar thoughts, I am looking for bodies of water ponds streams lakes to support my fantasy's, western's in particular are prime ground for my psychotic musings, the older the picture the more it draws me in, as because of development lots of prime habitat has been lost, places like the Gene Autry ranch which was broken up and sold off to the building developers .....the movie might be supposedly set in lets say Arizona but we all know that they are usually shot elsewhere so you cant know which type of garter would live in the area being shown...but it doesn't stop me guessing.
I cant in this case blame approaching senility because i have had this habit for more years than i can remember ....the reason for coming clean is i decided on a site full of garter nuts there might be.. just maybe..someone who is subject to the same delusional behavior, and i wont then be all alone in this vast universe.

[EasternGirl]

Rofl...you got it bad brother! I do remember recently watching an episode of a show I watch...and the characters were out on a boat at night and they found something in the dark...and my first reaction was..."Is it a snake?"...and then I was like "What...where did that come from?"...lol...The funniest part was...turns out it was, in fact, a water snake... I have not noticed what you are experiencing however. I do find myself doing it in real life though. Now...whenever I am out anywhere...I look around at the environment and wonder if there could be any snakes around.

[BUSHSNAKE]

Wayne's World 1&2
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Highplains Drifter
Indiana Jones Trilogy
The Professional
The new Sherlock Holmes movies
Braveheart
Anchorman
The Name of the Rose
Star Wars movies

looking forward to The Hobbit, but the dwarves already look completely stupid and gimmicky so no high hopes there. Especially after the Lord of the Rings movies.....I grew up on the books and it hurt to see them butchered just to make a few extra bucks and make the story more suitable for the theater. what was up with the elves being soft-spoken nancies, btw? i don't recall Tolkien mentioning that they used conditioner twice a day and wore tiaras. they were burly, jacked bad asses that forged armor and killed each other out of greed, dammit. they didn't wear velvet sweater vests and use straightener for their 2' long silky locks. end rant.

My Fair Lady

[EasternGirl]

My favorite movies are: Boondock Saints, Fight Club, Donnie Darko, The Butterfly Effect...I do really like the Lord of the Rings movies ...sorry...but my son and I like watching them. Movies are never as good as books..I know. Oh, Percy Jackson and the Olympians...the original Clash of the Titans...the special effects are so funny. And, I have this crazy obsession with First Knight.

[BUSHSNAKE]

best T.V. show is...Big Bang Theory..

[aquamentus_11]

I would argue that and suggest Adventure Time

[BUSHSNAKE]

and the bestest movie EVER!.. is .....Inglorious Bastards

[EasternGirl]

I haven't seen that yet, but I hear it's good.

[Stefan-A]

and the bestest movie EVER!.. is .....Inglorious Bastards
The most overratedest movie of recent history.

you Steven are a freeking bore...tired of you dude

come on Joe, watch out, you know just how overemotional Stefan can be :D

[BUSHSNAKE]

i appreciate the concern Pinjohn

[mikem]

inglorious basterds might be overrated, but it's still an awesome movie :)

[kibakiba]

I like Are you being served and Little Britain quite a lot... I don't really watch TV or movies much though so my list is extremely short.

[Didymus20X6]

I like sci-fi action/adventure movies, fantasy epics, superheroes, and animated movies.

Some of my favorites include:

The original Star Wars trilogy (not a huge fan of the prequel, though).

Star Trek II: The Wrath of KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

Batman: The Animated Series.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Batman: Under the Red Hood.

The Dark Knight.

Trigun.

Cowboy Bebop.

The Slayers: Try.

Darker than Black.

Toy Story, all three of them.

The Incredibles.

Galaxy Quest (which, IMO, is highly underrated).

Lord of the Rings.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (though I didn't like the sequels as much).

[Stefan-A]

inglorious basterds might be overrated, but it's still an awesome movie :)
It's the only movie that's ever gotten me to root for the nazis. Saving Private Ryan was close, but didn't quite get it done.

[guidofatherof5]

In Swamp People I root for the gators. :D

[kibakiba]

I do too, Steve. Even if it is bad for me to hope one of the guys gets grabbed by a gater... Wellllll.... They shouldn't be messing around with gaters in the first place so they'd kind of deserve it.

[EasternGirl]

On Billy the Exterminator, I always hope the snakes bite him and get away...I actually laugh when he gets bit.

[kibakiba]

He's all tough about everything else, he should just man up and quit screaming like a baby when he sees a snake... People should hire a "real" exterminator that can actually do their job.:rolleyes:

[EasternGirl]

Fo Sho!!!

[mikem]

i can't stand billy the exterminator. i watched two episodes one day and had seen enough of him to last a lifetime.

[EasternGirl]

Yeah...I stopped watching it. I couldn't stand the way he treats snakes and acts like every snake is a killer venomous monster that is going to attack him...he really is a wuss.

[Didymus20X6]

[EasternGirl]

Very good flick...

[Stefan-A]

Decent flick, horrible show. Watched Serenity yesterday.

Personally, I think the show would have been far more interesting if they had skipped the western theme and made the ship look a bit less silly.

[EasternGirl]

The movie Event Horizon....that movie freaked me out. Takes a lot to freak me out usually...but for some reason, that movie did. And all those new horror movies like The Ring and The Grudge...where creepy dead people move the way that dead girl comes out of the t.v. in The Ring...something about that really scares the crap out of me. I've always been a big horror movie nut...but I can't watch movies like that...they seriously freak me out.

[PINJOHN]

Received a recommendation for cowboys and aliens from Ricmartin a couple of weeks ago ...loved every second of it...thanks Ric

[EasternGirl]

I was thinking of one you guys...Legend...remember that movie? That's a good one...I love that movie.

[mikem]

i liked legend! there's a few other fantasy movies that came out around the same time that were also fun...the neverending story, princess bride, willow, labryinth

[EasternGirl]

Ha ha...I was going to say Princess Bride and Labyrinth next! You know I don't think I ever saw Willow...

[katach]

Willow was good, back when Val Kilmer was good looking.

[EasternGirl]

Okay guys...I ordered The Walking Dead season 1 on DVD and got it today...so I will begin watching it tonight. I think that was mostly directed at Steve. :D

[chris-uk]

Okay guys...I ordered The Walking Dead season 1 on DVD and got it today...so I will begin watching it tonight. I think that was mostly directed at Steve. :D

Good call. We have 3 episodes of the second series stacked up on Sky+ (satellite TiVo type thing, if you don't have Sky boxes in the States).
If you enjoy The Walking Dead you may want to get a final called Zombieland. I may have mentioned this before sometime.

[RedSidedSPR]

I'm watching Transformers. Shia Lebeouf rocks. xD

[EasternGirl]

Yeah...you mentioned it before. I'm not usually big on zombies...but I do like dark stuff and horror type stuff. I watch all of the vampire shows. I have heard though, that this show appeals to people even if they aren't into zombie shows. I heard it is a really good show.

[mikem]

zombieland was fun! i want to watch the walking dead. maybe this weekend i can get started on it. i love zombies!

[mikem]

ok, so i just finished the series "homeland" on showtime. good show. if you haven't seen it, it's ondemand until april 4th. by the end of the second episode i was hooked!

up next, the walking dead. :D

[Natrix]

The Last of the Mohichans

Silence of the Lambs
and a Good few more..........;)
OH! And the one with Sir Anthony Hopkins and the Grizzly Bear?:D

[EasternGirl]

I love The Life of Brian. Great movie. And of course, Silence of the Lambs. Mike, The Walking Dead is so addictive. I have the second season...I still need to watch it. My son and I are excited about The Wrath of the Titans coming out on the 30th. I'm a total Clash of the Titans fan. Of course, I like the old one with the really bad special effects and monsters...lol. Release the Kraken!

[mikem]

i second the life of brian! also love the holy grail. need to dust off those two dvds and watch them soon. i didn't like the clash remake. the original is best! wrath looks good from the trailer. i'll have to check it out.

[mikem]

finished s1 of the walking dead last night. looking forward to s2 now :cool:

[guidofatherof5]

Season 2 can be a bit slow at times but toward the end of the season it gets very good.

[EasternGirl]

Here's one I totally forgot to mention...one of my old favorites...I'm watching it now. Hint: "There can be only one". Greg...you better get this one....;).

[Stefan-A]

Here's one I totally forgot to mention...one of my old favorites...I'm watching it now. Hint: "There can be only one". Greg...you better get this one....;).
Flatlander?

edit: Should have checked Christopher Lambert's nationality before posting. Oh well, what's done is done.

[EasternGirl]

I'm talking about the fact that the movie is about a Scot and shows Scottish Highlands. I know that Christopher Lambert is not Scottish. Anyone listening to his accent can tell that.

[Stefan-A]

Well no ****, Marnie.

[chris-uk]

Flatlander?

edit: Should have checked Christopher Lambert's nationality before posting. Oh well, what's done is done.

What's the actor's nationality got to do with the film being associated with Scotland? Kind of a pointlessly pernickety post.

Marnie - great film, one where the sequels were horribly disappointing.

[Stefan-A]

What's the actor's nationality got to do with the film being associated with Scotland? Kind of a pointlessly pernickety post.
I'm glad to see that you've lost your sense of humor as well. You don't find it the least bit amusing that they couldn't find someone who could do a half convincing Scotsman?

[EasternGirl]

I agree Chris..the sequels were terrible.

[guidofatherof5]

#2 was the worst. I have it on VHS and watch it for fun sometimes. Everything about it was bad.

[infernalis]

I'm glad to see that you've lost your sense of humor as well. You don't find it the least bit amusing that they couldn't find someone who could do a half convincing Scotsman?

Adrian Paul didn't do much better as a convincing Scott in the TV series either.

There is a long history of crappy attempts at portraying Scottmen, all the way back to "Scotty" on Star Trek, to Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

[kibakiba]

Hey, my ex was british and if you heard his accent you'd assume he was an american trying way too hard to sound like an extremely posh brit. His whole family sounded like that. Lol.... I can sound like that too!

[EasternGirl]

Wayne...I agree...I really never could watch the t.v. series. Has anyone ever seen that movie Wishmaster I think it was called? That is one of those movies that I watch for fun sometimes to make fun of the attempt at horror. I have a few of those...So okay..let's talk about those...really bad movies that you just have to laugh at....

[guidofatherof5]

Plan 9 from Outer Space

The best of the worst.

[EasternGirl]

End of Days with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I actually got up and walked out of the movie theater.

The only time I hated it, there was a "Candid Gamera" marathon on once, and I really wanted to watch the Gamera films, but without them picking on the movies.

Bad movie trivia..

There was a Gamera 2000 made with Steven Segal's half Japanese daughter in a leading role.

You know I have never seen The Big Lebowski. The old Karate Kid Movies are really hard for me to watch. My son makes me watch them all the time. He gets mad at me because I laugh when Ralph Macchio is getting beat up...it's just comical...he is a terrible, terrible actor. How can anyone believe Ralph Macchio as a karate master? The guy is about as coordinated as my 30 pound cat. And the Chicago soundtrack running through the movies makes me want to pull my ears off.

[infernalis]

Beast with a Million Eyes. It's a terrible movie but Paul Birch is in it so......there you go.
Paul Birch rocks.

[Thamnophis]

At the moment I am looking at the serie Breaking Bad. One of the best series I have ever seen. Very good acting, great story, there's humor, etc.

http://www.reclameweek.nl/public//Breaking%20Bad.jpg

[EasternGirl]

I have heard many good things about that series...guess I'm going to have to check it out soon.

[Invisible Snake]

Great tv shows that I am addicted to are Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, True Blood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire.

[EasternGirl]

Love Dexter..True Blood..The Walking Dead...I need to catch up on True Blood.

[BlakeTheSnake]

Yess Dexter is awesome! I also love Game of Thrones, its very intense.
Lord of the rings is my favorite trilogy. I like all medieval type of movies. I have a lot more i like this is just a few :)

[mikem]

Season 4 of Dexter was my favorite. Looking forward to season 7! Love Breaking Bad as well. Just waiting on season 4 to come out in June. I prefer not to watch them on tv as they air. I like to wait until they're released on dvd and then try to watch two or three episodes a night. I hate waiting a week in between episodes to find out what happens :D

[EasternGirl]

Mike...I am exactly the same way! I can't stand watching shows on t.v. and having to wait a week for each new episode. I just wait and buy everything on DVD and then just sit and watch the whole season straight through in a week. I have everything on boxset. I watch entire series over and over again. Sometimes I watch stuff on OnDemand too.

[mikem]

Yep :D If it's OnDemand, I'll watch it there. I can't stand commercial breaks... completely destroys the flow.

[InsanePirateDragon]

Now does anyone one else get into the most wonderful week of the year... Shark Week, its celebrating its 25th year and they've already have spots on youtube advertising it.

[kibakiba]

I think shark week is stupid. But, I don't watch tv at all.. and when I do, it's "Days of our lives" and movies with my mom... Occasionally Grimm (I think that's what it's called) when I'm awake.

[EasternGirl]

I just watched the best movie..."The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock. What an awesome movie. Now I want to read the book. I didn't even know there was a book. If you haven't seen the movie...watch it.

[mustang]

is it SYFY?!

[Stefan-A]

For the record, every time someone spells sci-fi "syfy", I will either kick a puppy or knock over an old lady.

[mustang]

i say syfy because the channel sci-fi got switched to syfy, and most of the genre "sci-fi" is on it.

[Stefan-A]

That channel is the main cause of kicked puppies and knocked-over ladies.

[mustang]

For the record, every time someone spells sci-fi "syfy", I will either kick a puppy or knock over an old lady.

No it's not.

[Didymus20X6]

And just for the record, that's pronounced "Siffie", as in, rhymes with "jiffy".

[EasternGirl]

No...the movie is not syfy, sifi, or sci-fi. It's the story of NFL football player Michael Oher. And Stefan..my dog said to tell you that every time you kick a puppy, he is going to lift his leg on a Finnish man. :D

[KITKAT]

TOUCH is awesome! WTTE, Thursday nights.

[andycul]

Just started watching Game Of Thrones. Got about 10mins into the pilot and was hooked, will be getting it on DVD as soon as I can afford it, same goes for Sons Of Anarchy getting season 2 of that as soon as I get paid :D

[Invisible Snake]

Just started watching Game Of Thrones. Got about 10mins into the pilot and was hooked, will be getting it on DVD as soon as I can afford it, same goes for Sons Of Anarchy getting season 2 of that as soon as I get paid :D

I saw the pilot of Game of Thrones and was completely bored but then I kept hearing about it from my friends so I saw a couple of more episodes and got into it, I think it's a good show and it keeps getting more interesting.

[EasternGirl]

Yeah...I tried to watch Game of Thrones last summer and couldn't get into it either...but everyone keeps talking about it. Might give it another try at some point. Now I keep hearing about The Hunger Games...I hear the books are good. Anyone?

[Stefan-A]

I saw the pilot of Game of Thrones and was completely bored but then I kept hearing about it from my friends so I saw a couple of more episodes and got into it, I think it's a good show and it keeps getting more interesting.
Saw a 1 min 38 sec clip on YouTube and decided I liked it.

However, I read a bit ahead and I want to make the prediction that the show will be cancelled as soon as people start getting thoroughly confused about who's supposed to be the good guy and why all the nice characters keep getting killed. I hope I didn't just spoil it for anyone. But yeah, don't get too attached to any of the characters, the story doesn't follow the traditional "happy ending" formula. Sort of reminds me of Over There in that regard.

[EasternGirl]

So...we haven't posted on here in a while. I was thinking about when we were discussing bad B horror flicks. I forgot to mention the Final Destination flicks. Love those...so funny!

I watched one of my all time favs last night...An Officer and a Gentleman. I've seen it a hundred times since I was a little kid and it never fails to make me cry in the last scene when he carries her out of the factory. I know, I know...I'm a sap.

[snake man]

I'm really into B-movies. Especially horror movies, zombie movies, sci-fi and (to some extent) fantasy. I like the Evil Dead series and the first two in George Romero's "Dead" series (and the remakes).

Have you tried watching "walking dead"? Thats another great zombie series.

[EasternGirl]

Walking Dead rocks.

[Invisible Snake]

Breaking Bad is awesome!

[ProXimuS]

So...we haven't posted on here in a while. I was thinking about when we were discussing bad B horror flicks. I forgot to mention the Final Destination flicks. Love those...so funny!


OOO I love those movies too. I can't believe how the last one ended:eek:

Invisible Snake, I looooooooove Breaking Bad:D I started watching it a few years ago when it came out. And then missed some so I stopped watching, because I wanted to see it all in order. Theeeen my friend came across it on Netflix and I was like "OMG we have to watch it!!!" So we started it and got to season 3...Need to keep going so we can finish.

[guidofatherof5]

Very good acting.

[Stefan-A]

Have you tried watching "walking dead"? Thats another great zombie series.
Yes I have. Apart from the first half of season 2, it's been pretty good.

[Dan72]

Current must watch list for me in no order: Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Sons of Anarchy
Walking Dead
Doctor Who
Fringe

Older shows that used to be on the list but are always worth going back to: X-Files, Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, and any of the Trek series. I can't start movies, I'd be here the rest of the year.

[Eight]

I enjoyed the first half of the walking dead season 1, but I thought it became a little weak towards the end. I haven't seen season 2 yet but people keep insisting that it got a lot better.

I did see super 8 recently and I loved it. It seemed like a mix of of a traditional monster movie and the goonies.

If I can admit to my bad taste though, I'm a huge sci fi geek.

[Stefan-A]

I did see super 8 recently and I loved it. It seemed like a mix of of a traditional monster movie and the goonies.
It was okay. It was predictable and it wasn't dark enough. They should have made it at least worthy of an R-rating.

[Eight]

True, and I do see where your coming from, but I think that would of lost some of the charm. If I'm honest it felt more of a feel good film than a monster film at times. Not the best film, but far from the worst. Especially with so many of the films that have been released over the last few years.

[EasternGirl]

I think I would like Fringe..but since it is only a couple of seasons...I would get frustrated. There was a really good show they put out a couple of years back...after lost...with many of the lost actors in it, called Fast Forward...awesome show. Lasted one season and left you hanging at the end. That makes me so mad!

[Mommy2many]

I know it's probably 90% bull$%#@ but I watch Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters (who by the way are from Rhode Island). Connor and I would watch "ghosteses" (as he would say) every Wednesday night. Now it's a weekly tradition. I love the way they scare each other and themselves!

[ProXimuS]

I used to watch some of those ghost shows, but fake or not, just the thought of it potentially being real gets me a little worked up...I get scared kinda easy, and am kinda(really!) afraid of the dark(I know, what a baby, right?:p)....So I've stopped watching them.

Currently watching A Night at the Roxbury:cool: I've probably seen this movie over a hundred times(literally). Haven't watched it in a while, but used to watch it alllll the time.

♫What is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.....♫(Bobbing head to the side:p)

[EasternGirl]

My son always wants to watch those ghost hunter shows...and searching for bigfoot shows...then he gets all scared and can't sleep. I keep telling him he is not allowed to watch them anymore!

[Invisible Snake]

Hey what did you guys think of this season's True Blood?

[EasternGirl]

Hmmm....I love True Blood...but I go back and forth with it. I thought it was awesome the first couple of seasons...and then I thought it got kind of ridiculous. The werewolves are okay...but the meth heads and the fairies and that whole Marnie the witch (yes, the irony is not lost on me) thing was stupid. Then I thought it was looking good this season...but all of this authority and Lilith crap...I do not like at all. They need to get back to the original plot line. Oh...and they never should have killed off Jesus...I loved him. I like Tara as a vamp though.

I can tell you one thing...if they ever kill off Lafayette...I'm done with the show. Pam too...she is awesome...but Lafayette...he is the best character ever!

[Stefan-A]

Stopped watching after season 3.

[infernalis]

I wish C. Meloni never gave up his role as Detective Stabler on SVU for this..

Seriously. That was bad...very very bad. And now his character is dead...so what was the point of that?

Career suicide??

It's like when they made all the changes to "Crimminal Intent", the show died without Goren and Eams..

[Invisible Snake]

I think he left because he didn't want to be typecast and wanted to get back into doing movies.

To me he will always be Detective Stabler.
