now | ezo

[ezo4]

I’m sitting here after work and pulled out the “Last of the Mohicans” and I’m wondering what my fellow freepers like for there favorite movies. I would like more for my collection of dvd’s. Current and older movies? Doesn’t matter what it is.

Just a little break from the daily news and politics.

I have quite a few that I like and I’m looking for more. Hit me back

I'm no brawler, I just occassionaly egg on from the balcony.

Yes, it is apparently a series of documentaries on young women and alcohol abuse. Its really educational, from what I hear.

I'm thinking of showing it to my daughter when she's 18 and telling her that's why drinking to excess is A Really Bad Idea :o)

[Diddle E. Squat]

OK-dokey, fun only.

BTW, is there a story behind or meaning to your freep name? It sounds like a type of pasta.

I have a few first my favortie commercial is the KIA (car) where the girl starts out with her puppy in the backs seat and each scene shows a different "guy" phase ie. hippie, yuppie and finally its just her and the dog which now has the front seat and is grown. Cute

My fave Movies:
Romance "Like Water for Chocolate"

Black Theme "Car Wash"

Scary (new) "Signs"(funny too)

Comedy All the Leslie Nealson Natonal Lampoon movies and Steve Martin movies

Music/True Life "Selena"

Classics "The Birds" (stillhave nightmares) "The sound of Music"

Political "Primary Colors"

My son likes any comedy but no chick flicks.

I have a question for the guys my son is not someone who dislikes things a whole lot but he cannot STAND refuses to watch any movie wih Nicholas Cage.

Do you guys like or dislike Nicholas Cage?

"The Birds"

AH! Classic. He as done some really great work

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I know what you mean - I've half-jokingly advocated that "Boogie Nights" be shown to high school sophomores as a motivator for them to not get into the porn business, as well.

Nothing like a concrete example motivates as well.

It is my opinion that you must read "Lord Of The Rings" in order to really enjoy the movies. The movies are so fast-paced that it is hard for the non-reader to keep up. Having read the books, I can concentrate on the scenery and dialogue without having to try to figure out where the plot is going. Also, the fact that the movies leave so much out from the books doesn't bother me because I can picture everything in my mind. Frankly, I don't know how non-readers can fully understand the movies without knowing about all the things that are left out.

[bootless]

Ah HA! I knew I forgot something:

Pulp Fiction. ("It just so happens I'm in a transitional phase...") Mind if I have a bite of your tasty burger?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

A zillion years ago, I saw Robert Preston do "The Music Man" on Broadway. Very cool!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Which one is you, and who is that with you?

[CyberAnt]

Ben Hur

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yes, that's it, but the movie totally ruins it. Stupid, stupid, stupid, way overdone fight scenes, like Crouching Dragon or the Matrix without the intent to seem exaggerated. Idiot director was going for the "ultimate" "most memorable ever" "killer, dude" type fight scene(complete with dueling speed boats), but instead it is just nouveau pretentious schtick that completely parodies itself. And once seen, ever time that music is heard you'll remember that schlock and just want to roll your eyes. I wanna slap the director between the eyes with a 2x4.

And the worst part was the girl I was with LOVED the movie. Instant total incompatability, uggh, what a waste of a wonderful auburn red.
