Actually I've not watched 'Hobson's Choice' (just looked it by Lean) for ages - one of my most fave movies. I think it'll be getting a viewing soon.To see a world in a grain of sand

Or how about James Bond: Casino Royal - you can't beat a bit of Daniel Craig. Or Hot Fuzz for a good Simon Pegg comedy. The Holiday is a good "feel good" movie, if a wee bit soppy, or The Green Mile & Shawshank Redemption which have been out for ages but are fabulous films that will make the hardest heart cry!Comment

I liked Elf. It's good to watch a film every now and then that doesn't take much thinking.Originally posted by smallblueplanet View PostAny good Christmas movies? I shudder to admit I mindlessly watched 'Elf' the other week
For Christmas I'm a big Ray Harryhausen fan, so the Jason & the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, and Sinbad films come out for me.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Casino Royale & Bourne trilogy are on the list!
I'll have to make sure we watch them in order - will check but there used to be an option to only rent them in order on one of the dvd rental sites....

Another one I'd recommend is a film called Hard Candy. It was out a couple of years ago. It's one of those films that's uncomfortable, yet compelling at the same time. It certainly tackles a dangerous subject very well.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

How soppy, I thought it looked like a 'rom-com' from the tesco reviews? I hate 'tear-jerkers', suffice it to say I've never seen Love Story or Dr Zhivago!Originally posted by Newbie

Hi Manda,
On the sci-fi front, have you seen Contact with Jodie Foster and Matthew Mccon, Macon, muconahey??? Great film but not quite the sci-fi western you were talking about.
Or..Close Encounters of the third kind
What about disaster movies? Dante's Peak, Volcano, Twister, Towering inferno etc..
I agree, the Bourne films are brill (haven't seen the last one yet though)
And lastly, The Princess Bride - pure unadulterated escapeism - Typical fairy story, very funny in places and with an all star cast.
Whatever you decide, have fun with them.

Love the Princess Bride. Another nice movie is 'A Knight's Tale' with Heath Ledger. My fave movie of all time though is 'Cool Runnings' the story of the Jamaican Olympic bobsleigh team - soooo funny.Happy Gardening,

Ok scarey55 & shirl - seen Close encounters - kak! Dante's Peak - bad, and a Knight's Tale - silly.
Will check out Princess Bride.
C'mon then, who's seen 'Hobsons Choice'? highly recommended (by me!) would be what's now called a Rom Com, but its B&W!
Hobsons Choice with Charles Laughton & John MillsLast edited by smallblueplanet; 13-12-2007, 06:18 PM.To see a world in a grain of sand

Can't say as I have - I don't watch films much and have a tendency to fall asleep shortly after the start and wake up in time for the credits!!!
I went to see Close Encounters many years ago (when it first came out) with a nice young man name of Suggs, he wanted to become a musician. Strangely, I don't remember much about the movie

Bourne movies are a must. The last instalment is now available to buy.
If you can find Brassed Off watch it. It's a Brit flick. .........
Synopsis
Brassed Off is a charming comedic drama starring Ewan McGregor, Pete Postlethwaithe and Tara Fitzgerald. When government cutbacks threaten a century-old Yorkshire mine, the brass band--consisting of the miners and their families--struggles to keep it together in the face of economic repression and emotional turmoil. (its a true Story)

Oceans 11 is good, got a good twist, but don't under any circumstances bother with the next 2 films. Totally rubbish.
