ok, heres another non baby subject.
In my pre baby days, I used to get to the movies once a week. It is well known, far and wide that I am a horror film afficionado, In my favorite all time movies list, there is a few of these types, namely "Dawn of the Dead (04)" and "The Exorsist (25th anniversary)" Actually, I was kind of gutted (heh heh)that I went into labour with JJ when I did, as I had made a date with a friend to see "Amityville Horror"... Anyhow I thought I'd see what movies Y'all like and who recomends what. All time Faves are "Almost Famous", "Love Actually" , "Bram Stokers Dracula" and "Life is beautful" (a FABBO italian war film)as well as the above horrors.. I saw "The Notebook" on sky last week, and it was the best "love story weepy schmaltzy" movie I have seen in ages, ALMOST as good as "Love Actually" *warm fuzzies* *warm fuzzies* and "Sweet Home Alabama" (I *love* Reese. If Jake was a girl, he was going to be Reese) So I am reccomending all of the above, and "Walk THe Line" which I saw last week. Excellent. And, to round it out "Skeleton Key", a great didn't see THAT coming twist. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

I saw wrong turn on sunday on sky. it was like a cross of the newer version of texas chainsaw massacre with Jessica Beil in it and this other one (can't remember the name of it right at this minute) that came out about 2 years ago with a cabin in the woods, a flesh eating sickness and teenagers camping and inbreeds. All good horror fodder. Am keen on seeing hostel, looks scary. Have you seen either of the "Saw" movies? I haven't but am interested.. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Dirty Dancing and Grease are my all time favourites. I used to watch them everyday and my hubby recently got them on dvd for me. I also like things like love actually and bridget jones diary, empire records. and pretty much every movie sarabeth said, we must have similar taste. I really really cant watch horror movies even thrillers I cant watch Im such a woose (spelling?) ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

you must see both saw movies!!!! they are really good! the first one is the better of the 2, as usual.
i love so many movies, too many to list. on the other side of the scale, have been let down by a few movies lately.....charlie and the chocolate factory and sin city! 
the only thing i liked about charlie was johnny depp was in it...he's sooooooooo gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

My all time favourite would be Dirty Dancing followed very closely by Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo and The Lion King. I love Disney and Pixar movies. My partner is a huge movie buff and we own about 1000 videos and close to 300 DVDs, never lost for choice.
I have seen both Saws and really liked them. As well as Batman Forever(is that the latest one to come out?) ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

I have a different taste in movies to most of you 
I prefer foreign films, or film fest etc - never really watch blockbusters (must admit I like the odd chick flick tho).. my DP got me onto foreign films, they are the best. Actually, was just saying that I LOVE the Wedding Singer.. my all time favourite lol Aside from that, you have to see: Amelie, Run Lola Run, Show me Love (aka Fuc*ing Amal), Lilya 4Eva, Closer, 21 grams, Thirteen (directed by Catherine Hardwicke). I have loads more but if you see one of these you will know what I'm talking about :) :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ooooo I love "Amelie"... "13" freaked me out but a great movie. Actually... Liked all of the movies you mentioned Kat. (Apart from a few I haven't seen)
"Love Actually" is my fav cheesy romantic comedy. I have a thing for Hugh Grant since seeing that and "About a Boy". Zeke is making me go and watch "Underworld 2" this weekend  He's into cheesy action-ish flicks. Ah well... it's tolerable! hehe

oooh Zeke, he's such a boy. I bet he just wants to check out kate Bekingsdale.
"13" freaked me out. i had just a few days previously ffound out I was preg and had been bleeding so i was on bedrest, so we had a million dvds as sky was up to bugger all. 13 was one, and man, I wished so hard that bub was a boy after that.... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

No you're not, Roskana - you are a concerned mum who wants to ensure that her child(ren) only watch appropriate movies... and you have to be familiar with the plots so that you can discuss them with the kids to make sure they understood it!

haha Annie.. yeah, I don't know what the heck I'd do if Hannah was anything remotely like that. Little tarts!
I think Zeke's problem is that as well as being a male, he is also a little kid, would love to have super powers. Hence going to see movies where people are "supernaturally enhanced". I'm the one going to check out Kate. She's a hottie! |

yes she is!! she was so beautiful in that god awful pearl habour.
Actors/actresses I cant STAND Catherine Zeta Jones (yes, you are beautiful, but you're not THAT good at acting, love) Cameron Diaz (annoying laugh and plays same character in EVERY movie) and, sadly, Keanu (honey, you are so hot, but you use "smell the fart" acting too much..) ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

I love Robin Williams, Bicentenial Man.. and there is this other movie, does anyone remember the name of it, about a woman who commits suicide and then she lives in her world (she's a painter) - full of painted flowers etc.. and her husband (Robin Williams) goes to heaven to find her. That's a great movie :)
Nikki, you should watch the other movies on my list :) I can give you plenty more too! And I agree, if Ella is like those girls on 13, I will be tearing my hair out (literally). ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I watched the Neverending Story with Maya last weekend on DVD. I thought she'd be too young for it, but she loooooved it! She loved the "white fluffy dragon" and was absolutely broken hearted when it finished - had to put it on again...
But my fave movie of all time is The Princess Bride. Mum and I recently saw it on the big screen at the Valhalla in Sydney and I still remembered all the lines from when I was a kid... priceless! Would love to see Walk the Line. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
