    Just saw Music of the Heart with Meryl Streep in it, and it was directed by Wes Craven :eek: I never knew the guy has something to add to his collection horror flicks. The movie is not that bad. It's just unexpected that Wes Craven made it. Cool :D

    i was really referring to the original pelham 123 movie, not the travolta remake, but they were both quite well done, imo
    and damn was shining freaky

    I know you were talking about the original. Just kidding.


    Anyway... here are some movies I apparently need to see...


    No Country for Old Men
    Up in the Air
    The Deer Hunter
    The Godfather (I and II)... seriously, I haven't seen them.
    Forrest Gump... seriously, I haven't seen it also.
    A Beautiful Mind
    Silence of the Lambs

    Any more suggestions? I'll tell you if I've seen them.

    Watch Memento. It's not for everyone but I think it's brilliant.

    oh, my god! then you have to see the last four you wrote!!!!! You should watch the whole hannibal lecter series, too. Have you seen the Alien series (if thats your type)??
    other recommendations:
    district 9
    war of the worlds (original AND remake)
    iron man
    the watchmen
    alfred hitchcock titles like vertigo, psycho
    the transporter series (not great, but action is entertaining)
    rush hour series
    THIS IS IT (if you like Michael Jacksons songs)

    Thanks, but I've seen all of those except the Hitchcocks, transporters and Watchmen. I'm not sure I want to see watchmen because the comic book was so good... will the movie let me down after I've read it?

    Okay. Will go to the movie rental place today.

    "So what's the plan, Funkynubman?"

    I rent 3 movies: (drum roll)

    1. FORREST GUMP

    2. THE DEER HUNTER

    and finally...

    3. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

    The verdict has been decided.

    Then come back and tell me why everyone thinks 'no country for old men' is good.

    I didn't understand what made it a 'really' good movie. But I didn't really listen to the talking between the old sheriff cop guy and...other people

    It won Best Picture and it's by the Coen Brothers, so I think it's safe.

    By the way, that "Old sheriff guy" is Tommy Lee Jones, Best Actor winner.
