Last night I watched Predator II after a couple of pints so I was in highly critical and observant mode Terrible movie I must say. The first one was much better. 1.5 out of 5 Although a few nights previous I watched The Graduate. Always a pleasure, one of my favourites. The cinematography and soundtrack are just superb. 4.5 out of 5 What was the last movie you have seen?
MY latest was actually a trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" on DVD - brilliant films - could watch them over and over again - and do!!!!! 10/10
I have quite eclectic tastes actually. I enjoyed the film "Gorillas in the mist" but admit the romantic scenes spoilt the true story a bit for me as they never actually happened to DF. I thoroughly enjoy Walt Disney's cartoon and animal films too. Saw "The two brothers" with my daughter recently and quite enjoyed it although the story line was pretty weak - the tigers made up for it though. Loved "The Lion King" , "The Jungle Book" and "Brother Bear." Just a big kid at heart sometimes!! Also been known to enjoy films like "The Green Mile" and "Silence of the lambs." Not so keen or romantic movies with lots of bedroom scenes - they just leave me a bit cold for some reason, maybe just too many of them around. :? Abhore sporty films too I'm afraid. What other kinds of films do you enjoy watching?
I find myself to have a varied taste as well. I like Midnight Cowboy, North By Northwest, Trainspotting, Tigerland and Lost In Translation a lot. I can't stand soppy stuff like Sleepless In Seattle or similar and I also hate macho-macho stuff like Fast And The Furious. Also movies glorifying war. One movie I saw recently as well that suprised me a lot was National Treasure starring Nicholas Cage. It was a Disney movie but it was quite good popcorn entertainment. Check it out.
One of the movies I mentioned earlier, Tigerland, is actually a war movie but I love it because it is a different kind of war movie and does not glorify it at all. Check that one out as well
Sounds more to Ian's taste but I enjoyed 'Schindler's List' even although it was about war so I'll give it a try.
I like Schindler's List as well but you really have to be in a certain mood to watch it. Pet hates are Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan :x
Haven't seen Black Hawk Down and I HATED private Ryan!! Ian took me to see "Where Eagle's Dare" when we were younger and I thought I was going to see a real life film about actual eagles - how dumb is THAT?? BTW I didn't enjoy it at all.
lol Eileen. Films about birds are pretty rare I haven't seen it btw, I must keep a eye out for it. Oh yeah another fave of mine... Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. CLASSIC
Oh dear - it must be a man thing as Ian loves it too!!! Sorry to say it's just not my cup of tea. I enjoyed watching ET when the children were little and The Navigator - have you seen either of them?
Believe or not I have never seen ET It'll happen someday. I haven't heard of The Navigator, what is it about?
