What’s a good movie to watch?

okay, I know this is a dumb question, but I’m really bored and I want to watch a movie thats ‘good’ …By that I mean good story line,acting and all that crap.

P.S.: Last movie I watched was “The Golden Compass” and it was boring…

depends on what types of movies you enjoy, like if you enjoyed Underworld and Interview with a vampire and Labyrinth, I’d go for fantasy
If you enjoy: must love dogs and you’ve got mail, your a romantic

Happy Feet! Those penguins are soooo cute. I want penguins to dance at me. I love penguins. It makes me sad when they die. But happy dancing penguins! It makes you go ‘Yaaaaaay penguins’

They are so cute and black and white and waddly! Waddle waddle.

Have you ever seen the film “Heat”, by Michael Mann?

It’s pretty long. That puts some people off, but not me because I’m a nerd, haha. It’s one of those movies that sucks you in so you don’t notice that it goes for ages though. It’s really rewarding!

It’s basically a cop drama/thriller movie, but the reason it’s so long is because it goes into the characters’ personal lives and stuff, so instead of it just being “cops chasing bad guys”, you actually care about the characters and want to see what happens. It’s REALLY well-acted and REALLY exciting, but it also kind of makes you think about crime, and why people do it, and why other people don’t do it, etc. The storyline is easy to follow, without being so straighforward that it’s insulting, if you get me.

It’s got a great cast, Al Pacino, Bobby Deniro, Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman, etc

And another great thing going for it is that it LOOKS really nice. LA is shot with all these big groovy sweeping wide shots of cityscapes and stuff.

Go for it!

Go with the Cohen brothers:

Fargo, Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink, No Country For Old Men, Raising Arizona, The Big Lewbowski, Blood Simple…

I like Michael Mann too. Check out ManHunter, the first incarnation of Hannibal Lecter on screen. Boy does he love the colour blue!

Not I. My favorite film is one of the longest films ever made; Seven Samurai (dir. Akira Kurosawa, 1954) clocks in at about 3 hrs, 40 min!

I have been wanting to see that movie. Hard to find time to watch movies that the kids can’t watch.

Has anyone here saw the movie Simon Birch?

It is based on the book A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. The book is my favorite one of my favorites. My son is named Owen after the character in the book. The movie is good just not as good as the book.
