I enjoyed Kinsey, but it was a tad graphic.
In Good Company wasn't bad, I was suprised

[CourtasanSatine]

Lost: season 1

I'm buying this one but it's a aweseome show

 

[Cindyluwho]

Our DD is almost 12 and we thought "Weekend At Bernie's" would be a fun film. She laughed so hard she almost wet her pants. I forgot how darn funny that movie is. Stupid, but funny!

 

[GoodFairies]

If you like dark, thought-provoking movies, try:
The Attic Expeditions
Memento
Donnie Darko
Ravenous

If you don't mind subtitles, try:
Le Diner de cons (The Dinner Game)
A la folie...pas du tout (He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not)
Le Battement d'ailes du papillon (Happenstance)

Check out my sig for two tv show sets. Granted, as a guy, you may not like Once and Again...but, if you can get past the stigma of it being a "chick show," it's so well written and acted, it's worth it. Plus, Sela Ward is nice on the eyes.

But, my other pick - Murder One - is my favorite tv show of all time (that is until they sorta ruined it in season two). That being said, season one of the show is so tense and exciting that it's like a great 22-hour movie. Did a drug addict movie star kill his underage lover? Or is it all a huge conspiracy? Great, great stuff.

 

[ClarabelleCowFan]

The Color Purple
The Horse Whisperer
The Scent of a Woman
You've Got Mail
When Harry Met Sally
Monster In Law
My Cousin Vinny
Grease
Message in a Bottle
A Walk in the Sun

 

[Jungle Skipper]

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was fun. I love the books though.

Million Doar Baby is fantastic as well. I aso reccommend Hotel Rwanda...quite thought provoking.

One of my a time favorites just got a special edition DVD: Redford and Newman in The Sting.

Havent seen it, but I've heard good things about Layer Cake and Oldboy.

Oh and Crash was AMAZING...certainly one of my favorites so far this year.

Cheers-

Hey Josh, nice to see you here, I haven't seen you around much!

I have no suggestions, I haven't seen any movies for a while. But I will insert here that I HATED Ladder 49...bad ending, IMHO.

 

[oogieboogie]

I've been on a miniseries kick lately...

been watching Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth)
on queue:
Sense and Sensibility
Star Trek: TNG
Farscape Season 2
Cracker (Robbie Coltrane is excellent in this one)
Ghormengast

 

[erock]

If you like zombie romantic comedies, you can't go wrong with Shaun of the Dead.
Say Anything is a classic.
Amelie is great as well.

What I did was go to the AFI top 100 movies of all time page and put all those movies in my queue. There are some really good movies that I would have otherwise not watched on that list.

Television shows are also good buffers on the queue to keep it stocked. I was on a Twilight Zone kick for awhile and there are quite a few seasons of that out there. Also, a lot of shows from the early 90s are coming out to dvd so you can watch shows like Full House, Cosby Show, Roseanne if those were favorites of yours

Also, I second Shaun of the Dead. I rented it and liked it so much that I went out and bought it

 

[swtnikki]

My fiance just bought me the first season of Fraggle Rock. If you remember & enjoy that show, put it on the queue.

My sister and I review movies we've seen with each other every month, I'll just cut and paste what I sent to her this morning:

Saw Crash this weekend. I really liked it. It's in the style of movies like Short Cuts and Magnolia -- a dozen or so characters whose paths keep crossing in coincidental ways -- which annoys John, but I've always enjoyed that sort of thing. There was only one point where I found the coincidence so farfetched that it annoyed me. And there was one other moment in the movie that bothered me, involving the use of a child for a particularly cheap bit of emotional manipulation. Even still, the writing is so sharp, the acting is incredible, and I think the movie is a must see. Great performances from Sandra Bullock and Terrence Howard; alson on hand in this large ensemble cast are Don Cheadle, Brendan Fraser, Tony Danza, and Ryan Phillippe, who I'm beginning to think is going to be a very good actor in five or ten years, when his prettiness wears off enough that we can see past the pretty face.

The next night we watched John's pick, Black Hawke Down. This is not my kind of movie, but I have to say, I was engrossed from beginning to end. Its the harrowing recount of a disasterous 1993 Special Forces mission in Somalia which resulted in 19 dead Amercian soliders and about 1,000 dead Somalis. Not warm and fuzzy, but a really good movie.

On the lighter side, we also watched Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 4. This was the weakest of the CYE seasons so far, but it was still some of the funniest stuff I have *ever* seen. There were parts where I was laughing so hard it hurt. We both just love Larry David. I mean, what a genuis this guy is. He figured out a way to play himself - he gets to walk around LA whining and moaning about everything, gets filmed doing it, and makes a boatload of money as a result. What's not to love? Told John to put this on my Christmas list, I want all 4 seasons of this to own.
