fav none horror movies

[Eddy Gein]

yeah i know its a horror bord but i think it would be interesting to see what other movies everyone else here likes.
donnie darko, the virgin suicides, ghost world ,requiem for a dream, vinilla skyand schindlers list just to name a few.

[jenna26]

Um, let's see.....Fight Club, Trainspotting, A Streetcar Named Desire, Rebel Without A Cause, American History X, The Usual Suspects, Goodfellas....these come immediately to mind. But my favorites change regularly and I just know I am forgetting a couple I should mention.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a good pick, I love that movie.:) Haven't seen the other three recent picks there, cause I almost always wait for DVD. And I am waiting patiently for Sin City....or as patiently as I ever wait for anything...:rolleyes:

All the Eastwood stuff aside it's my fav. movie.

I totally get the thing about waiting for dvd because theatres are expensive and even worse the cellphones,ADD patients,morons with their feet up on your seat ect. ect. I had to go through a bunch of crap today when I saw Four Brothers.

[MoonLit Meadow]

Eternal Sunshine..., Shawshank Redemption, As Good as it Gets, What About Bob?, Garden State, Breakfast at Tiffany's, I Am Sam, Million Dollar Baby, American Beauty, Lord of the Rings (all 3 of them) ;), Bridges of Madison County, SideWays, When Harry Met Sally, Forrest Gump, One Flew over the Cukoo's Nest, To Kill a Mockingbird....that's all I can think of right now:)

And just about anything with either Jack Nicholson, Tim Robbins, Kevin Spacey, or Bill Murray ;):D

I was waitin while my truck was gettin' worked on, so I actually read Entertainment Weekly, and they had a 4 page article on how theatres suck now. It was actually pretty good, they ran through the top 10 theatres in the country, not suprisingly more than half of those 10 won't allow anyone under the age of 4 years old inside.

Theatres are losin' tons of money now too, the article was saying that in a decade or so theatres could be almost nonexistent.

Yep, see I love all three of the Lord of the Rings movies, Shawshank Redemption, Garden State, American Beauty and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Also: Animal House, Dazed and Confused, Dead Poets Society and While You Were Sleeping (no one give me any crap about the last two, okay? ;) )

#1 movie in the country(40 year old virgin) only made 20 million, last week when 4 Brothers took the top spot it only took in about 32 million....Point is they aren't making anywhere close to what they used to make, the only movies really making money are ones like Batman,Harry Potter and other highly popular things like that.

Ridiculous prices,people talking,babies crying,stupid kids and sadly sometimes adults kicking your seat and putting their feet up ect. ect.

Now watcing a movie in a theatre is a better experience than at home(at least imo) but when you throw all the bullshit with it I'd rather make my own cheap popcorn,grab a beer and pop a dvd in.

Theatres do suck. I went to see The Skeleton Key and thought I was going to end up in jail for homicide before those couple of hours were up.:D

And besides, where I am at, we have a Baptist church that actually can keep movies from being shown here. And that pisses me off. Land of the Dead didn't even make it here locally.

Everything makes it in the next county over.....but the county I live in....pffft....Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Philadelphia (which really, really pissed me off), and a few others were kept out...Land of the Dead just being the latest....

But get this, oddly enough, American Psycho was allowed in....I actually went to see it. Explain that one! And it was great....people were getting up and running out. :p

OMG! ;) That's just craziness girl....you need to move up here! Liberalize yourself ;)

BTW, I have nothing against the south or anything, it's just amazing to me how different parts of the U.S operate. Each state is like it's own little country :)

My best friend lives in TN, and the stories I hear about stuff like this from him....they blow my mind...it just doesn't go on up here...I guess you get so used to your surroundings sometimes, you forget that not everyone lives the way you do...so it's pretty interesting to hear how things are in diff. parts of the country:)

Didn't take it the wrong way at all, I was just saying you must not have been to New Orleans if you think you can't liberalized yourself down here. Two words...Mardi Gras, barring any capital punishment crime you can pretty much do whatever you want.

People are now able to afford to make their own "home theatre" where the only annoying cellphone is your own(because you confiscate your friends and family's-right? RIGHT?)

I was really disappointed with the way he decided to end it...and I don't wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it (though you're not missing much, in my opinion) ;) But yeah...there was alot more potential than the route he chose.

He got side-tracked with that movie,cuz he was also filming the documerical for the sci-fi channel about how WEIRD he is,and how spooky his movie would be.....:rolleyes:

Yes, the ending just ruined it. It was a complete waste of some fine acting and some really good individual scenes. The direction he decided to take it in was just terrible.

[Elvis_Christ]

The ending of Unbreakable made it for me. I dug it.

I agree, Moonlit. I think that movie was a big tease. You walk into the theatre expecting to get a scary or at least suspenseful film and it doesn't happen. Major let down.

You have a point, it would give me something to bitch about....not that I ever really need another reason to bitch. But even the previews annoyed me for this remake....I usually give 'em a chance...but this one particularly bugged me for some reason.

[Elvis_Christ]

:mad: THE WARRIORS REMAKE :mad:

Is the one that's gonna send me apeshit.

[jenna26]

I have never seen the original but I added it to the Netflix list....which is getting ridiculously long by the way thanks to this place...lol.:p

[MisterSadistro]

'In Cold Blood' based on Truman Capote's novel of the true hunt, capture, and execution of two men who murdered a family in 1950s Kansas is about as perfectly done as a movie could possibly be. Shot superbly, great jump cuts to to keep story moving and the jazz score by Quincy Jones is the one album I've always wished had been made. See it. You won't regret it.
