Ok thanks, I think I might go and get Red Dragon to read. I've thought about reading them before. I'll have to see that movie too. We were going to see it on Halloween but we ended up at The Ring instead.

I forgot.... The Fast and the Furious ...Vin Diesel*sigh* how could I forget?! I own it on DVD

Also... Lilo & Stitch I took my little sister to see it and we both were crying when he went into the woods saying I'm Lost, trying to find his family. Made me want to scoop him up and hug him.

Oh some older ones that I still like to watch when I'm sick in bed...3 Men & a Baby...Look who's talking...Grease...

Another favorite is Chocolat....I saw that in the theatre & it was great!!

I didn't see the movie Red Dragon, but the book was good...although I think I liked Silence of the Lambs best of the three. Hannibal was definatly better as a book...


I have too varied of taste to pick fav movies..I like about anything.

My all time favorite is The Count Of Monte Cristo. Great movie based on an excellent book! I also love the Hannibal movies. Red Dragon was AWESOME! As were Silence of The Lambs, and Hannibal!

---

I saw Scilence of the Lambs and Hannibal but for some stupid reason my mom is not letting me see Red Dragon. I am going tonight to see The Ring with my friends. I have a feeling it is gunna be awesome!:)

GLADIATOR... has got to be my favorite... it was written soooo well the beginning was a little slow... but the rest of the movie was sooo awesome.. espically Jaquin Phoenix... he played the best bad guy I have ever seen!!!

And..........
Lion King has got to be my next favorite.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

---

Wow - I didn't think I'd meet a kindred MST3K spirit on a pet talk board! MST3K is one of those things I can watch 100 times and still laugh out loud. I actually have some episodes on tape that I've never gotten a chance to watch yet, so I'm looking forward to that.

Here's some movies I like:

The Elephant Man (depressing, but good)
Schindler's List (same here)
Fargo
The Bounty (Mel Gibson in his prime.....ahhhhhh.....)
Big (Tom Hanks)
Dave (Kevin Kline, where he stands in for the president)
both Eddie Murphy Nutty Professor movies (but the 2nd one was funnier)
A League Of Their Own
Cocoon
Uncle Buck
The King And I
Oklahoma
The Ten Commandments
That Thing You Do
The Full Monty
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Life of Brian
High Anxiety (Nurse Diesel - LOL)
Young Frankenstein

and probably 100's more that I can't think of right now........

Zyppy, I remember when I saw Seven .
I was so scared that at the end of the movie I was in a hurry to leave the theater and moved out quickly outside , when we were on the corner I noticed that something was missing I ought to thik twice what it was.... it was my handbag, uhg! Back we went ....and found a man nicely sat on that not even noticed that a handbad was under his bottom LOL

I loved Galdiator! And I agree that Joaquin Phoenix played the best bad guy ever!

I know I posted here already ; but yesterday there was such a touching movie on TV . It was so good :

DRIVING MISS DAISY : that friendship between Miss daisy and Hoke was so sweet and sincere ...


I also remembered another goodie ; FRYING GREEN TOMATOES .

Oh Lut, I love Fried Green Tomatoes. Another one like that is The Spitfire Grill. I have watched those both at least 3 times.

According to my roommate one night she heard me singing the songs in my sleep!!

OH and I can't believe I forgot THE GREEN MILE
I AM SAM (watched that on the flight home from Phoenix this summer and I was bawling and and couldn't breathe b/c of the altititude, and the guy beside me was trying to be all macho and wipe his eyes nonchalantly)
The other sister

OMG! LOL :D

Yes!! The Princess Bride! Excellent movie!! I had been looking for the book for the longest time and finally found the book that movie was based on. I was so excited.
Another good funny: Robin Hood: Men in Tights! LOL :D

The Christmas Story is the absolute best must-see Christmas movie. "Randy lay there like a slug...it was his only defense"! HA! :D

The Lost Boys! Yup! How could I forget! That's such a good movie, and I think they that boardwalk part by the ocean right here in Santa Cruz, didn't they??!:D

The second Harry Potter movie was excellent! I managed to see it opening night, and I'm still amazed that me and my 5 friends were able to all sit together in a sold out and packed theatre! What a riot! I had never been to an opening night for a movie and this was amazing. Everyone was cheering and whistling when the intro music started, but once the movie started...you couldn't have been in a quiter more rapt theatre! :eek: Great movie though!!:) Even better than the first one.

Love the book, I got a year or two ago and have read it through twice so far.

And Men In Tights rocks! actually Mel Brooks rocks in general, like Dracula dead and loving it and History of the world part 1..hehehe, I start giggling just thinking about them, though that could be because I'm tired. I get tired, I tend to get the giggles, then again I get hyper I tend to get the giggles...I get the giggles alot.

Inconcivable.
