What movie should I watch first?

[FuzzySlippers]

I can't decide. I got these 3 free from the public library: "The Motorcycle Diaries", "Hotel Rwanda", and "Alfie" (the new one with Jude Law). I also have "Camille Claudel" from Netflix. Any suggestions?

1. The Motorcycle Diaries are fabulous

It's a wonderful journey and an inspiration!

[Longgrain]

2. None.

Turn off the TV and look at some art.

[FuzzySlippers]

4. Blah! I don't have any art.

[Longgrain]

9. Then make your own....

It ain't all that hard to slap some oils across a canvas.

Now is it?

[FuzzySlippers]

12. I don't have any oils

and I don't have any canvas and I don't have anything to slap them with if I did have them.

[Longgrain]

14. Canola oil will do

Peanut, if you don't have that.

3. Hotel Rwanda is amazing but so sad

Still you must watch it.

I haven't seen the other two.

5. I'd pick Hotel Rwanda as well.

It was just that good of a movie.

[FuzzySlippers]

6. I was afraid it might be too depressing

Not sure if I'm up for it.

[Hatalles]

13. Oh, poo. You *must* watch this film.

It'll make you sad, yes... but it'll make you feel great about Paul (main character) in the end. It's uplifting, I'd say -- this man went through hell and came out alive.

[yvr girl]

15. I'd agree

There are uplifting aspects. It makes you want to be a better person.

19. I just watched it tonight

Really goof film. I'd say it's required viewing.

It's not a graphic as I expected it to be. They pointed that out in the documentary that they didn't want to turn away viewers with excessive violence since they felt it was important to tell the story to as big an audience as possible. So the movie focuses primarily on Paul & his family.

7. "Motorcycle Diaries" will not disappoint.

It is a wonderful biography that shows the scope and beauty of South America. More a personal than political biography, this film is a virtual travelogue of Latin American culture and geography. (sound like a movie review...oops, forgot...the author got free passes and popcorn).

It's pretty good.

8. Eeny, meeny, miney mo works

Line them up and say (pointing at each one at each word):

Eeny meeny miney mo
Catch a tiger by the toe
If he hollers
make him pay fifty dollars
just like.. my.. mot-her... told... me... so!

And that's your movie to watch.

10. Motorcycle Diaries, Alfie, Hotel Rwanda

save the most intense/depressing for last is me motto.

[FuzzySlippers]

11. That's probably good advice.

I'm afraid after Hotel Rwanda, I'll be a basket case.

[WI_DEM]

16. I'd say "Hotel Rwanda" then "Motorcycle Diaries" and then take "Alfie"

back and get the 1966 version with Michael Caine, much better film.

[FuzzySlippers]

17. I don't think they have that at the library.

I want free stuff.:P Guess I could put it on my Netflix queue. Thanks for the suggestion.

18. Skip Alfie and watch either of the other two.Alfie is a lousy remake.
