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

[The Cat Factory]

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!!!

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 .

[Cookiebaker]

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

The King And I

I used to love the King and I when I was little. Then last year I got contracted to play in the orhcestra pitt for The King and I. Debbie Boone was Anna (you know the cheesy 80s singer who sang You Light up My Life). Well anyways 20 shows later, I never want to see that again. 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

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

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

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??!

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! Great movie though!! Even better than the first one.
