guys point of view, hit the adult theater, lol

[Milk]

We don't have one here, but we do have tittie bars.

[fire11614]

in a pinch that will do

[northernvam]

We don't have one here, but we do have tittie bars.

Is that how you spell that? I always thought it was titty not tittie as in:

One tit or One titty ...
Two tits or Two titties ...

:dd

[fire11614]

all depends on what state you in

[Milk]

I've never consulted a dictionary about the adjective form of the word Tit

[fire11614]

I've never consulted a dictionary about the adjective form of the word Tit

While we are on the subject, I made gold and checked you out and OMG!!!

Hi, I'd like to know what "obscure" movies people have seen and would recommend to others... Try to avoid "pirates of the carribean" & things like that.

My two are
Billy Elliot &
Betty Blue


The accent thread reminded me about Billy Elliot, a fantastic movie about a young boy that starts ballet dancing during the miners strike of '84 in Newcastle (Englandshire).

Betty blue is a great erotic french movie ( arent' they all!!) that was a dream for me... after you've saw the movie I can explain.

well, let me know what you think, and recommend others.

I've got a few more, so I'll try & not forget them before I put them in

[Pebbles]

A wonderful little French film called La Doublure, which had Daniel Auteuil and Kristin Scott Thomas (speaking French!) in it.

did she do a good french accent though? :-)

Billy Elliot was quite enjoyable.

I'd suggest Lost In Translation, but I'm sure everyone has seen that one...you know, about the married guy...flirting and more ;)

I saw Eastern Promises, that was a nice movie that's in theatres now.

The Rocket if you want some hockey history. Great movie about Maurice "The Rocket" Richard.

And don't forget about Thank You For Smoking a delightful movie about a lobbiest (sp?) for the tobacco industry.

[twoblues]

dang double post

[Penny]

Clay Pigions was a great movie with Vince Vaughn

[peaches]

Next with Nicolas Cage...

[scott2006]

Penny, I thought you'd recommend one of your home movies.. or has everyone seen them? ;-)):sex:sex :wk:

[toowildtotame]

lAre Pennies Movies in 8MM??*S*

[Annie]

I think my all time favorite movie... I'm sure quite a few of you have already seen.... Pay It Forward. I kind of wish it was mandatory viewing for middle school kids.

[Jezabella]

I'm also into slightly obscure movies, as some of you here have mentioned:

- Damage
- The Myth of Fingerprints
- Ice Storm
- The Sweet Hereafter
- The Swimming Pool
- The French trilogy Red/White/Blue
- What's eating Gilbert Grape?
- Night on Earth

...oh, there are so very many...

[peaches]

Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson

It's the cutest movie I've seen in a long time..

[northernvam]

Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson

It's the cutest movie I've seen in a long time..

Sleeping with Doris was always a fantasy of mine ... of course, she's 81 now, so that might be a little different than my fantasy.

[peaches]

Knocked Up....funnnnny

[yaser]

Knocked Up....funnnnny
Let us watch it by keeping our hands combed ... :lf

[Domus]

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo...Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo...:)

[Huzyerdaddi]

I'm watching the funniest damn movie right now.....must recommend it!

"Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World"

The U.S. government sends comic Albert Brooks to INdia and Pakistan to see what makes Muslims laugh.

[Torin]

The Waitress...

An amazing movie... and soooooo relevant to most of us women here...

[pointofnoreturn]

I saw the Bucketlist the other day. I liked it alot. We all need a bucket list....

[PunkyBob]

Run out and see immediately: "Once"

Avoid like the plague: "Assassination of Jesse James..."

[PunkyBob]

The Waitress...

An amazing movie... and soooooo relevant to most of us women here...

On my Netflix list

[Torin]

On my Netflix list

awesome! You'll love it!

I've never heard of "Once", but I will add it to my list! :kk

[Kevin7284]

the final countdown

[sweet]

Atonement.....I absolutely loved it

[bryan3636]

Two small but wonderful films from the past: Same Time, Next Year & Defending Your Life!!!

[PlayfulMale69]

This is not new, but I sure love Shawshank Redemption

[pointofnoreturn]

Two small but wonderful films from the past: Same Time, Next Year & Defending Your Life!!!Defending your life was excellent.....

[Dir]

La Vie en Rose

[Sneaky]

Two small but wonderful films from the past: Same Time, Next Year & Defending Your Life!!!

LOVE both of those. I forgot about Same Time Next Year. Defending Your Life is hysterical.

[Sensual Woman]

Two small but wonderful films from the past: Same Time, Next Year & Defending Your Life!!!

Loved Same Time Next Year

How about Yours, Mine, and Ours with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda

[Sylar]

One of my all time favorites is "Life is Beautiful". Amazing movie.

[kay1965]

i am legend

[UltimateNaneki]

Last night I went to see "Horton Hears a Who" and I laughed. It was real sweet and I knew the story from when I was little but to see it on film was nice. I went later so there were not too many kids. Yes I would like to see it again!!

[Han Solo]

Well don't know that I would recommend it.....in fact I KNOW that I wouldn't recommend it. But I saw "Blades Of Glory" last night, the skater movie with Will Ferrel and that guy from Napolean Dynamite....mildly amusing, but there was a line in the movie giving credit to Han Solo and Chewbacca with a list of "famous duos"....so I guess I gotta give it a :55 for that

[manofiron]

Finalyl saw Click the other night. it was actually pretty good.

[Sneaky]

Probobly ironic to be posting this HERE, but I watched The Ten Comandments last night. I still like that movie. So is written and so it shall be.;)

[kaycee727(m)]

I sat down after work the other nite and watched August Rush. It was surprisingly good. The secret romantic side of me really enjoyed it. It was kinda like Serendipity.

[jimmy-love-fl]

La Vie en Rose

I saw that movie a couple of weeks ago and fell asleep half way through. I could not understand what the heck was going on. All of her lovers had the same name and looked like they could have been brothers. It kept going all over the place in time and I was totally lost! I had to go on line afterwords to figure out what I just watched when I finally did watch the rest. She would be talking to a guy and I was like OK which lover is this, then I figured out that was her manager. So confusing! Then I read about her life and found out some really interesting stuff that they didn't even put in the movie, like the fact that she had a baby with one of those guys that died when he was like 2. I have no idea why they left that out of the movie. Some people love it though. I guess it just depends on what your into.

[jimmy-love-fl]

Perfect date movie if you want to get laid afterwords is 9 1/2 weeks A great comedy most people haven't seen is Nothing to Lose

[OICurready4me]

It's not that new, but Super Size Me is something to watch. For anyone that loves fast food, it is a must see. It is a documentary, basically, but the guy eats McDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a month and what the effect of that had on him.

[pointofnoreturn]

very good......Michael Clayton

[RedVixen]

Took the kids to go see The Water Horse last weekend - it was a great family movie :)

[Misty]

August Rush - I loved that movie.

[CuriousOne]

i am legend


i loved the movie specially when will smith was working out

[CuriousOne]

I watched "Tyler Perry's Why did i get married?" and actually thought it was very good. Lots of true topics there

[jimmy-love-fl]

August Rush - I loved that movie.

I thought this was almost a great movie. The end was way too cheeseball for me, but the rest of it is worth seeing. He reminds me of my son a lot.

[Sensual Woman]

Love, Actually

[Thumpintwin]

Stranger than Fiction.....

[jimmy-love-fl]

Just thought we could help each other avoid some bad movies and maybe point out some great ones. I'll start. I saw 2 movies this weekend so I'll let you know about both. The first one I saw was No Country For Old Men. It was pretty good. I was a little disappointed that it won the oscar for best picture, but it was worth seeing. I won't spoil the ending, but I would have ended it a little differently and I think it could have been a much better movie.

The other movie I saw was Gone Baby Gone. That one was pretty good. I kind of knew how it was going to end, but most people won't be able to figure out and it keeps you guessing. Both of these were definitely worth seeing.

[GSDman]

Just thought we could help each other avoid some bad movies and maybe point out some great ones.

American Gangster was a great movie, I'd give it 5:di:di:di:di:di up

[WandaRing]

Are we talking new movies? if you want to take your family to see a really cool movie, The Spiderwick Chronicles is really good. The child actor Freddie Highmore (played in Finding Neverland and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory along with Johnny Depp) is an amazing actor. I'm sure both adult and children will enjoy this movie.

I thought Finding Neverland was surprisingly good myself. Haven't seen the other 2 though.

[GSDman]

I think two movies which I have to mention are "Secondhand Lions" and "Big Fish"...... there are two of my all time favorites.

For the Sci-Fi fans out there: "Sunshine" was one of the best movies I have seen in a while. If you can past some silly plot lines. The scenery and MUSIC was just beautiful. It gets my highest rating::dd:dd:dd:dd:dd

[My_Secrets_Kept]

I just watched Secondhand Lions for the first time a coupla weeks ago.. loved it.. a great movie that I can't believe I didn't watch sooner..

[CuriousOne]

I just watched "the ruins". The previews said based on a true story but i find it difficult to believe is based on a true story. It was too yucky for me.

[Friend101]

P.S. I Love You is a chick flick. This movie is not for everyone! For me it did not work. For all of it's good intentions "P.S. I Love You" just droned like a wheezing bagpipe! Sorry,but found it very slow moving. Fairly routine story of love, loss, and emotional rebirth. Nothing I would buy for my DVD home collection.

[CuriousOne]

The Waitress...

An amazing movie... and soooooo relevant to most of us women here...


Thank you for the recomendation, I just watched it this afternoon. I really enjoyed it and it's so true in so many ways.:55

[Constance]

The Waitress...

Torin, I saw that movie and loved it.

[Constance]

I saw this movie called "Lie with Me". It is a little graphic, while not quiet adult but it will put you in the mood. Great plot with lots of action.

:hp::la::blowjob::sex:sng:sc

[CuriousOne]

Dan in Real Life was not bad. I enjoyed watching it.

[ethans_so_bad]

Ironman f*cking sucks. Like I didnt know THAT was coming....

[hoss]

Ironman f*cking sucks. Like I didnt know THAT was coming....

maybe your just too old for superhero films ....my 12 year old loved it ...:ok

of course ..Flyboy is the ultimate superzero ....right ??..right ???

[RedVixen]

I thought Ironman was supposed to be good...I know my kids want to see it.

[bk_mojo]

I want to see Ironman

[jimmy-love-fl]

I saw 2 movies recently. Juno and Made of Honor

Juno was a great movie! Funny, witty, and real.

Made of Honor was horrible. Cheesiest movie I have seen in awhile, but it was my wifes birthday the next day so I let her pick. LOL

[RedVixen]

Went to see Kung-Fu Panda and Indiana Jones last night with the kids. Both movies were really, really good :55

[jimmy-love-fl]

Went to see Kung-Fu Panda and Indiana Jones last night with the kids. Both movies were really, really good :55

I saw Kung Foo Panda too. It was a great movie, but my 3 year old could not sit through the whole thing I spent the second half of the movie making sure he didn't bother anybody else. It was his first movie so I was the stupid dad taking pictures of my kid in the movie theater. LOL

saw juno, great movie

[dcowboy09]

saw a british comedy "death at a funeral" i thought was very funny and "momm's boy" it was kind of funny.

[oldandnaked]

saw juno, great movie

Juno was a hoot. Anyone seen the new "Sex in the City" movie? I know the wife is gonna drag me to that one.

[scoobertina]

Juno was good... P.S. I love you was really good... and I have to say I loved Made of Honor... it was hilarious...

[MCat]

Juno was good... P.S. I love you was really good... and I have to say I loved Made of Honor... it was hilarious...

We saw P.S. I Love You last week.....it was great.

Saturday night we saw Baby Mama...that was cute.

Haven't seen Juno yet.....or Maid of Honor....will have to watch em.

I only watched Sex In The City a few times on TV......
Wonder if I'd like the movie anyway? Hmmmmm

[Tiglet]

Best one's I've seen recently are....

Juno
Rendition

Both very good movies.

[scoobertina]

I looked high and low for August Rush.. I finally found it and watched it a few night ago.. and let me say it was well worth the wait...

Awesome movie...

[Jules1]

I looked high and low for August Rush.. I finally found it and watched it a few night ago.. and let me say it was well worth the wait...

Awesome movie...
I've had it sitting on top of my TV the last couple of weeks....I need to sit down and watch it...maybe tonight is the night!

[PunkyBob]

Dark Knight...rocked. Heath Ledger was chilling, creepy, and you had to take him seriously...what a performance! The movie itself went on too long...Hollywood overdoing it again, but don't let that stop you.

[jimmy-love-fl]

I looked high and low for August Rush.. I finally found it and watched it a few night ago.. and let me say it was well worth the wait...

Awesome movie...

I thought it was such a letdown personally. The first 90% of the movie was pretty good, But the end was horribly cheesy. I hate cheesy endings, and it doesn't get any cheesier than that.

[jimmy-love-fl]

Definitely, Maybe was a good date movie

[Nick182]

Don't see Jumper... at least don't pay to see it.

[sweet]

Dark Knight was awesome! I highly recommend seeing it!

[MrHyde]

Dark Knight was awesome! I highly recommend seeing it!

Ohh I so want to. So I hear Heath Ledger stole the show....is that the case?

[sweet]

Ohh I so want to. So I hear Heath Ledger stole the show....is that the case?

Oh yes! Definitely! Without him in it, I don't think I would've enjoyed it that much.

[Orca08]

Oh yes! Definitely! Without him in it, I don't think I would've enjoyed it that much.

probably the only star that gets my wife excited. she has watched 10 things i hate about you twice in the past week. lol

[siempre_insatiable]

Love, Actually
Stranger than Fiction.....

Two great movies. Just Like Heaven was one of the better romantic comedies I've seen. The guys might not like it, but Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour is one of my favorite romantic flicks.

[COWGIRL_LEO7]

I also saw juno and thought it was a good movie!

[MarriedQt]

if you like scary movies then I highly recommend

Strangers.......its freaky!!

[Fargo...really]

Oh yes! Definitely! Without him in it, I don't think I would've enjoyed it that much.

He, and the movie, lived up to the hype.
Incredible movie!

I'm going to see the new X-Files movie this weekend! I can't wait. I'm an X-Files FREAK!

[jimmy-love-fl]

That's something I didn't know. I mean I knew you were a freak, but the X-files thing is new information.

[Sneaky]

That's something I didn't know. I mean I knew you were a freak, but the X-files thing is new information.

Yup. I read. I like Star Wars. I like the x-files. Big dork I am. But pretty comfy in my dorkdom. LOL.

Hey, me too!!! I love Mulder and Scully, let me know how you like the movie, dont think it's out yet over here.

[Sneaky]

Hey, me too!!! I love Mulder and Scully, let me know how you like the movie, dont think it's out yet over here.

I always knew you had good taste! I rarly go to the movies anymore...prefer to wait till it's on HBO or I can rent the DVD...but this is one I couldn't wait for. the reveiws say it's dark and creepy like the earlier X-Files were. I miss that show so bad. Such good writing and characters. And Fox Mulder is dreamy. I love the excentric pervy ones. No suprise there I'm sure! I'm going tomorrow so I'll let you know!

Lol, I know exactly what you mean!! I have always loved David Duchovny, I love his quirks, loved the show Californication too!! Enjoy the movie, Sneaky!

[Fargo...really]

Here's one from last year that I saw for the first time last night:

In the Land of Women
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/in_the_land_of_women/I was coming into the movie with next to zero expectations, but I found it to be a pretty nice little movie with a leading actor (Adam Brody, from "The O.C.") who was incredible.

Hey how was it? I want to see this one so bad... and I totally agree... David Duchovny is HOT.... omg...

[RedVixen]

I saw this one on PPV (pay-per-view) Sunday night. It's called P.S. I Love You. It was hysterically funny, sad, entertaining all in one.

I'd recommend it - two thumbs up.

[Sneaky]

I watched that a couple of nights ago myself...expecting really nothing and found it VERY moving. Adam Brody did such a good job, the whole cast did.

[Sneaky]

Lol, I know exactly what you mean!! I have always loved David Duchovny, I love his quirks, loved the show Californication too!! Enjoy the movie, Sneaky!
Ohhh me too. I find him to be such an intellectual actor. Californication is an excellent show too. We kinda like those quirky guys though, don't we Ang?:ok
LOL

Hey how was it? I want to see this one so bad... and I totally agree... David Duchovny is HOT.... omg...

And Scoob, why am I not suprised we agree on Mulder?:sc We have VERY similar GOOD taste in men don't we?

So the X-Files Movie----

I LOVED it! But it's not like the first X-Files movie was. It's not about alliens or the smoking man or the black oil. It's done on a much smaller scale. It's more like an x-files episode....quirky, dark, a little pervy, strange, spiritual, spooky and sad. I would say this movie is really for X-Files fans. If you weren't a fan of the show, you probobly aren't going to like the movie, but if you LOVED the show (I never went anywhere on Sunday nights when there was a new episode & I wouldn't answer the phone when it was on) you will be so glad to see Mulder & Scully again. They cover stem cell research, gay marriage, psychic god given powers, child molestations, Catholocism, and organ farming & patient's rights to die. Like I said, a typical X-Files episode. I don't want to give anything away, but Skinner is in it, and there are some great moments. I recommend it.:ok

[Missy38]

The X-files was a good movies and so was Step-brothers.....

[Fargo...really]

Just watched Definitely, Maybe (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10007681-definitely_maybe/), which is definitely a chick flick but I really liked it (and yes, I did cry like a girly-boy at the end). Of course, I would probably like any movie that has Isla Fisher in, this movie has a great cast and acting for every role and a pretty good story.

[angelis]

Ohhh me too. I find him to be such an intellectual actor. Californication is an excellent show too. We kinda like those quirky guys though, don't we Ang?:ok
LOL

LOL, yeah quirks are good, I like a little smidgen of kooky loopy in a guy!!!

Tina does have very good taste in men!!!!:ok

Wow, sounds great!!! I have to see this movie!!!! Thanks for the review Sneaky, I LOVED the show as well, I can't believe they don't show re-runs here!!!!

Vampire Journals

[jimmy-love-fl]

I saw a movie the other day that surprised me. I was on the lookout for major cheeseball factor, but I was surprised to discover how well it was done and I even cried. I thought it was gonna be mostly a comedy, but it was mostly drama. It's called Henry Poole is Here.

[Fargo...really]

Finally got around to watching The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le scaphandre et le papillon) last night.

I really like this movie!
Wifey HATES sub-titled movies and even she really liked it.
Amazing true-life story (at least more "true-life" than most true-life movies, lol).

Not since "A River Runs Through It", has a movie compelled me to go find the book it was based on, though. Like "River", it quotes a couple of the passages of the book and reveals beautiful prose that is to be savored rather than just read.

He had to dictate his story letter by letter, after much revision and memorization. The result is a story so powerful, it transcends media: book, movie, word of mouth.

VERY powerful!

[Fargo...really]

Watched Love In The Time of Cholera last night.
I love Javier Barden and I loved the novel it was based on, but having said that, this movie sucked!

[CuriousOne]

You mean you didn't like 2 old people getting it on???:lmao
All I know is that I want to look as good as that old lady looked.:crs

[Fargo...really]

You mean you didn't like 2 old people getting it on???:lmao
All I know is that I want to look as good as that old lady looked.:crs

Yeah, lol, that was just one of many reasons the movie was awful: both the lady and her hubby (played by Benjamin Bratt) looked like young people with gray wigs on. At least Javier actually looked somewhat like the 70-something year old guy he was supposed to be.

As for seniors getting it on, I'm all for it! Hopefully, I'll be one of them one day, lol!

That was one of the many parallel themes/subjects of the novel: that there is a societal "distaste" for octogenarian sexuality.

[WandaRing]

Passchendaele is a great movie, it has romance, blood and guts, and the first stormtroopers during WW1...that would be the Canadians of course!

[CuriousOne]

I agree that seniors do have a sex life, and I too will probably be one of them, and in the words of Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber " Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose.":D

[Fargo...really]

Watched Big Nothing last night, which has a pretty good cast (including Simon Pegg of "Shaun of the Dead" and David Schwimmer of "Friends").

If you go in with low expectations, it's a pretty good rental.
Remember to stick with it, even though the beginning is a bit slow.
It's a quirky, dark comedy that's worth a look.

[Agent]

Vampire Journals...an awesome vampire movie.

[Fargo...really]

Martian Child (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0415965/)

Wifey drug me kicking and screaming into watching this tonight, but I have to admit I really liked it.

Best I've seen John Cusack in years and his interplay with his sister was both real and interesting. Would recommend putting it into your Netflix queue with low expectations and be happy when they're surpassed.

[angelis]

Just back from girly chick flick "Confessions of a Shopaholic" I haven't read the books, but it was a funny, funny movie!! Lighthearted with a big scoop of romance in it, just a nice easy movie for a Sunday evening!!!

[leighm]

Anyone seen 'AUSTRALIA'??

Even if you're not a Nicole Kidman fan I would recommend it. I thought she would drive me insane with her prissy english accent but she did it very well. Of course it's worth watching just to see Hugh, mmmm!
Think you would all really enjoy it.

[angelis]

I took my daughters to see "Marley and Me" yesterday. I had read the book so knew what to expect and the film was pretty true to the book. My youngest daughter is 6 and she got a little bored towards the end, perhaps it was a little grown up for her.
It was very much a weepy (major weepy) omg I thought I was going to have to leave before the end I was crying so much!!!

[Fargo...really]

Two that were "off the radar" for me that, thanks to Netflix, I recently watched/enjoyed were "Charlie Bartlett" and "Bill". Both have a real indie feel to them, with great casts.

Rent with low/no expectations (like I did) and enjoy! ;)

[stellabelle]

We watched Bolt this morning...yes, two grown adults only...LOVED IT! It's funny and sweet. I'm taking it for the parents to watch!

[UltimateNaneki]

The last movie I went to was at the opening of Knowing, a Nicolas Cage movie. It was amazing, in the theater, everyone got scared at the same time. It was good and you were at the back of your seat during the whole movie. Its a movie that can make you think a little, are we really the only intelligent lifeformes out there??
You go see it!

[Mr Jones]

you all have to see Slumdog Millionaire......

[angelis]

I went to see The Boat That Rocked last night with really low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised!! It was very good!! Laugh out loud funny and the soundtrack was brilliant. Highly recommend it!!

[Fargo...really]

Anyone seen 'AUSTRALIA'??

Even if you're not a Nicole Kidman fan I would recommend it. I thought she would drive me insane with her prissy english accent but she did it very well. Of course it's worth watching just to see Hugh, mmmm!
Think you would all really enjoy it.

Finally got talked into watching it last night by Wifey.

Nicole is usually super hot, but she had this cross-eyed thing going on, which was kinda distracting and not very sexy.

I thought the movie was pretty good, but would have been much better if it was at least a 1/2 hour shorter.

Wifey, on the other hand, seemed to REALLY enjoy the Hugh Jackman scenes (she kept muttering "He's hotter than Sawyer!").

[Fargo...really]

Finally got around to watching Grand Torino and loved it!

I always like Clint Eastwood anyway, but the script was sooo well done.

Although the end product is set in Michigan it was written by a guy from St Paul, MN who worked at the Ford plant there; the Twin Cities has either the largest Hmong population any where or the largest population outside of Laos.

The story accurately captures the way a LOT of Minnesota men Clint's age speak, act and think (Wifey said "I can hear your dad saying that exactly that way." quite a few times during the movie and she's right.) and the part of town that has the heaviest Hmong population.

I definitely give this movie two thumbs way up.
