The dinner theater version I saw in '85 was better, but I did enjoy the movie.

Although I'm not sure I'll ever be in the mood for another meat pie. :)

4. "National Treasure 2".
After I mentioned to my dad that "National Treasure 1" was the last movie I saw with my mom, he suggested we go together. On Christmas Day. It was nice.

46. That's so nice
:hugs:That's the last movie I saw too. We saw it at a midnight showing the night that it came out because my daughter and new son in law got in that night from Missouri and we used it kind of as a bonding tool. It was nice too and it turned out to be a really wonderful visit.

The last movie I saw with my dad was My Fellow Americans (at his home on video) He died shortly thereafter. So I'll always have a special place for that movie.

6. Starting Out in the Evening
Wonderful indy film for you indy film buffs.

Frank Langella is wonderful in it. Some talk of an Oscar nomination for this performance.

Lauren Ambrose was also wonderful -- and radiant.

Good acting all around really.

57. I saw the Bucket List yesterday. Absolutely loved it!
It's more about life than it is about death. And, of course, Jack and Morgan would make any movie GREAT in my book.

Great chemistry and I plan to see it again.

20. We have huge tv with homemovie setup.
I really don't like the noise of the movies and putting up with people talking on their cellphones.

I can wait until the movies on demand and watch from home.

And I think the last one I saw was My Big Fat Greek Wedding when my sister was in town for a visit. Nothing looks worth the time or the price. But then I don't watch TV, either, so...

116. Enchanted was great.
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 12:05 AM by Catbird
I liked this movie much more than I expected to.

It made fun of previous Disney movies and had all sorts of hidden and not-so-hidden references to those movies.

I liked the scene with the rats and pigeons and cockroaches (!!) helping with the cleanup.

Updated to include name of movie in subject line.

38. I've been on a BINGE!
The Bucket List
Juno
The Savages
Into the Wild
Michael Clayton
Gone Baby Gone
Atoinment
No Country for Bad Men
...More that I can't think of right now and those are all within the past two months. I can honestly say I loved all of the above (except Atoinment 'cause it's just my kind film). George Clooney was RIVETING in Micahel Clayton - OMG - IMHO '07 was a really good movie year. The best movie I've seen in many moon I netflixed - "The Lives of Others." OMG again. It resonated with me on many levels.

68. We Loved It Too

It has to be something special to get us to a theater, but we've always been suckers for those kind of big British epics.

The tracking shot on the Dunkirk beaches is one of the most striking and technically proficient things I've even seen, in all my years of going to the movies. That shot alone is worth the price of a ticket....

82. Michael Clayton
That was pretty good. George Clooney reminds me of Cary Grant, not that he plays the romantic lead but that he's suave and likeable. Plan to see a bunch of the new movies currently in theaters, now that we're seeing ads for the "best" (award winners/nominees).

103. It was great, and yes, I knew the book.
I'm a big ol' Gaiman fan. The movie had none of the texture of the original Vess-illustrated, but was gorgeous amyway. It took some liberties, but those were okay, too.

95. I'm Not There
Film of 2007 for me. Yes, Cate Blanchett is wonderful, but so is everybody, especially Marcus Carl Franklin and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Utterly fascinating and compelling throughout with ideas dripping off every frame. I can't remember the last time I saw a film made with such care and intelligence that still had me watching with a massive grin at how bloody great and cool it all was. Really, really recommended.

99. I am Legend
I saw three movies on the weekend before New Years, when my kid was with his mom. National Treasure 2, Golden Compass, and I am Legend.

I finished on a good one.

I was going to see the new Alien v. Predator movie just because, but I never got around to it before it left town.

109. I have not set foot in a theater in 20 years (I am 44 y/0)
Ever since they started renting them I didn't feel a need. I can't pause the movie if I want to get a snack or go to the toilet. I don't need to find a parking spot in order to catch a DVD. I can eat ANY snack I wish while I watch & it doesn't cost an arm & a leg.

There is no movie on earth that I would pay 7 bucks per person to watch.

111. I pay $1.50 at the dollar theater
I bring my own snacks, can actually sit for a couple of hours without using the toilet, and even if parking is crap I don't mind walking.

112. It must be nice if that's what you want to do.
The nearest theater of ANY type is 15 miles away. The second nearest is 40 miles. The nearest discount movie theater????? I wasn't implying I couldn't hold my bodily functions, I was saying if I choose to use the bathroom I can pause the movie. I don't have to drive anywhere, I can enjoy the movie in the comfort of my own home. A buck fitty is about what I pay to watch my DVD's at home using blockbuster online.
The best thing is, if a movie sucks I can eject it & go to bed without thinking twice about it.

115. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Edited on Sun Jan-13-08 11:23 PM by EOO
No Country For Old Men, Charlie Wilson's War, and Sweeney Todd are very high on my list of movies to see, though. As is Beowulf in Imax 3D.
