I have the 5$ plan which is only 2 movies a month, but it works for me since I don't have patience for movies and hardly ever make time for them. So far I've only rented Closer & The Constant Gardener, both of which I've enjoyed and have been meaning to see. In my que is Motorcycle Diaries, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & finally finishing up the last part of the Sopranos season. So give me some good recommendations to add to my movie collection, I can appreciate almost all genres Separated at birth... -Molly

I've watched so many movies that a) I always wanted to watch and never have and b)had never heard of, but ended up loving. The Lookout (With Joseph Gordon-Levitt, from Third Rock and 10 Things I Hate About You. He is a seriously good actor) The Painted Veil(Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. I totally missed this movie when it came out, but I really enjoyed it) Junebug Quinceanera Half Nelson (Ryan Gosling, even sexy as a crack head) Children of Men (Great movie about a world where no woman has be pregnant in almost 20 years) If you like watching movies in foreign languages I really loved: Volver (in Spanish. With Penelope Cruz) The Dinner Game (About a group of snobby French guys who have a weekly dinner where they compete to find the biggest idiot they can as their guest) Enjoy! Meghan

Posts: 8061 (02/09/2008 11:23 AM) My new obsession will MAGNETize you! Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	My Life Without Me One of the best movies ever...and probably the best movie I found through netflix. The trailer doesn't even do it much justice, but trust me. You will love it. It's an independent filmed in Vancouver- you can tell by the slight 'accents.' Mark Ruffalo is fabulous...I would marry him in a heartbeat! Be warned though, it's a tearjerker! Edited to add this song. You're going to want it after you see the movie!

Posts: 238 (02/09/2008 6:15 PM) Could I ever Breakaway? Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	My suggestion is Somewhere In Time. My Life WIthout Me is such a great, heart-wrenching flick. I bought the soundtrack after watching it mainly for Senza Fine.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Stardust is out on video now, and we all (husband, daughter, and I) really enjoyed it--much like The Princess Bride. If you like G. Paltrow, I highly recommend Shakespeare in Love, or Chocolat with Depp for Valentine viewing. We were watching School of Rock this weekend, and it is a hoot. Jo

I saw "Little Children" recently and thought it was pretty good. I love Kate Winslet. "My name is John Mayer. I was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. My music was born in Atlanta, Georgia.

I am really behind on my movie watching. I've been wanting to see Once for awhile now. Wasn't there a whole thread over here about that movie? "My name is John Mayer.

Posts: 8054 (02/17/2008 3:41 AM) We sleep walk in Hollywood Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	If you liked Pan's Labyrinth, I saw the latest Guillermo del Toro movie tonight - The Orphanage. Pretty freaking creepy. But not so much scary, to me at least. More sad/disturbing with very little gore. Definitely relies on your mind freaking you out more than the effects. But remember the Pale Man (with eyeballs in the palm of his hands) in Pan's Labyrinth? This time the super-creepy character is a kid with a burlap sack on his head. Sounds weird. It is. View the trailer here.

I haven't seen PL, but I have seen Tideland. Whenever I mention Tideland to someone, I am always referred to Pan's Labyrinth.

( though honestly, it's hard to read subtitles when you're sewing.) Great movie if you're on a diet. So brutal. Has anyone seen The Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher? ( i think that's the title.)

Posts: 8061 (02/17/2008 10:22 PM) My new obsession will MAGNETize you! Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I wasn't a fan of Pan's Labyrinth either. It was really bizarre and just didn't capture my interest- that and it was also pretty disturbing. To each his own, though. I enjoyed the Butterfly Effect- the alternate endings on the DVD were pretty cool too. Has anyone seen the new National Treasure movie? I didn't get a chance to catch it while it was still in theatres around here. Booo. We're thinking about getting the Blockbuster 'netflix' thing because we've got a Blockbuster down the street and you can trade them in instead of sending them out which is a pretty sweet deal. Anyone have this? Sounds like a much better deal than netflix if you ask me. -Andrea AIM: YoDaCoolest My Weekly Obsessions

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I saw Once because of a thread on this board, and fell in love with it. It was seriously the most charming film I've ever seen. Loved it. The last few good movies I've rented are 21 Grams, Waitress, Talk To Her, All About My Mother, Amores Perros, Hot Fuzz, Mysterious Skin, The Edukators, The Believer I love my Netflix.

Anyone have this? Sounds like a much better deal than netflix if you ask me. Andrea, I have the Blockbuster version of Netflix. I think it's a much better deal because you are able to trade the movies and you get monthly e-coupons to redeem in the store for a video or a game. People have countered that saying that the whole point is to not leave the house to get new movies. I am signed up for 3 movies at a time, and when I'm done, I go into the store, which is half a block away, and give them the 3 envelopes and take home 3 more movies. Sometimes I leave with 5 movies because of the two coupons. Not a bad deal, if you ask me. Last Edited By: megustamayer 02/17/2008 11:51 PM. Edited 1 times.
