Re: few great movies I\'ve seen lately

I go to a theater to see a movie MAYBE once a year.

Last GREAT movie I saw was "The Incredibles"

Saw "Grosse Pointe Blank" on DSS the other night. I really like that movie!

Re: few great movies I\'ve seen lately

The Incredibles is a GREAT movie, my dad doesn't like animated films, and still hasn't seen it but it's a great family flick!

Amen with your entire selection Polak187! May I suggest OCTOBER SKY (one of my all time faves!). Couple of years back, '99 -'01 maybe but worth tracking. True to life story of Homer Hickam, a kid from the mining boondocks who followed his dream to become one of NASA's first scientists!
One of those rare movies that makes you feel thankful for this life.

Re: few great movies I\'ve seen lately

If you liked Oceans11 with George Clooney, then you will likey enjoy Oceans12. While not quite as funny, its still got the good ol' humor. Me and my dad went and saw it since we both liked the first, and we werent disappointed.
Now I need to find the original 60s version with the rat pack and watch that. Apparently it was really good as well with a totally different ending.
Anyways, Oceans12 has some kewl cameos by a few people, which are choice people. One thing I didnt like about the 2nd one though was that the whole technical and special effects of breaking into the 'vault' like the first were non-exsistent in the 2nd. But it still did have its twist like the first, which was kewl.

Been watching UFC Ultimate Figthing Championship DVDs lately. Some are excellent. Choke is great if you're a UFC fan.

Saw Harry and Kumar go to Whhite Castle and thought that was really funny. Also the Chris Rock stand up DVD is great!

Memento was excellent noir a noir thriller.

Anyone here have a Netflix account? I get 8 DVDs at a time and keep each however long I want and then send them back for the next DVD in the Queue. Awesome service with one or two day turn around most of the time.

Re: few great movies I\'ve seen lately

UFC is some cool stuff. My bro has a few DVDs and man are they insane stuff! We watched the newest one I think and the final fight was messed up with the guy bleeding all over the place.

I thought "City of God" was very good. There is a scene in that movie that has got to be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen on film. I don't think I'll forget that scene until the day I die.

I thought "Open Water" was good too. It's another one of those movies that sticks in your mind for days after you see it.

"Napoleon Dynamite" was very funny! I knew I was going to like it as soon as he whipped the little tether attached figure out the bus window. That was a very original movie. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Some other "quirky" comedies that I've enjoyed:

Welcome to Collinwood
Palookaville
Buffalo '66
The Station Agent
