I want to rent a DVD tonight. Any suggestions?

[brainshrub]

I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for, but here's what I don't want:

1) Horror.
2) Chick flick.
3) Porn.

Any suggestions?

[bigwillq]

1. Capote

Good Night and Good Luck
Brokeback Mountain
Hustle and Flow
The Constant Gardener


Have you seen any of those?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Hustle and Flow's a good one.

[brainshrub]

5. On your suggestion, I got Capote.

Thanks.

:)

[bigwillq]

14. Enjoy.

I thought is was fascinating. :)

[brainshrub]

15. And it was.

Good flick. Thanks for the suggestion.

[bigwillq]

19. You should check out

the others on my list if you haven't already. All are very good.

2. We're going to watch

The Time of Your Life tonight the dvd just came today. It's an old James Cagney movie about interesting characters hanging out in a San Francisco dive. I doubt you could get it at a rental store though.

4. MirrorMask is what I intend to watch tonight...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366780/

Supposed to be quite good.

6. I picked that one up last week.

I haven't had the chance to see it yet though - the few stills I have seen and the preview were fascinating!

I loved Dave McKean's Sandman covers.

[Sugar Smack]

7. Reversal of Fortune. It's one of my top 5.

Jeremy Irons & Glenn Close are great in this. So's Ron Silver, even if he's a repub. It's about the trials of Klaus von Bulow, and it's GREAT. Double Indemnity is a classic. Memento & Fight Club are good, also. And Erin Brockovich. :)

[Cannikin]

8. Batman Begins is great

[Debi]

9. Pleasantville

Reese Witherspoon and Toby McGuire

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120789/

Yeah, it's eight years old, but still cute.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

10. Napolean Dynamite

totally and wonderfully stupid.

[Cannikin]

[TallahasseeGrannie]

[MikeDuffy]

16. The Seventh Seal

written/directed by Ingmar Bergman...

[yellowdogintexas]

17. Everything is Illuminated....

Sammy Davis, Jr Jr the seeing eye bitch.

[Rhiannon12866]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5145593&mesg_id=5148155

I just loved that seeing eye bitch!!! LOL! :D

[nytemare]

25. Heck, I didn't see this post before I saw the other post.

I was beaten to being beaten to it.

[Rhiannon12866]

29. That's what I said in my previous reply to you...

:crazy:

But I agree. Nobody could go wrong with that charming film.:applause:

[nytemare]

40. LOL.

Seems like I need a seeing eye bitch!

[Cooley Hurd]

31. That's "Officious Seeing Eye Bitch!"

[Rhiannon12866]

I really enjoyed it.

21. I saw an excellent movie last weekend that I just loved.

Everything Is Illuminated starring Elijah Wood. It's kind of a quirky movie about a young Jewish guy who travels to the Ukraine to search for the woman who helped his grandfather escape before WWII, saving his life. The characters were all memorable and I especially loved the dog, LOL! And though the story was extremely affecting, there were some very funny parts. I think you'd like it.:-)

[nytemare]

24. You beat me to it!

What a heartwarming, intriguing, charming little film that was.

Loved the "seeing eye bitch".

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

27. No, I didn't, LOL! yellowdogintexas beat both of us , post #17...:D

Seems I missed that one. And I just loved the seeing eye bitch, too, Sammy Davis Junior Junior...:D

Rhiannon:hi:

[Cooley Hurd]

28. "No meat? No chicken? No sausage?"

:rofl:

Best movie I've seen this year!:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

30. The American is crazy! :D

Unlike the seeing eye bitch, Sammy Davis Junior Junior... :rofl:

I agree. Loved the dog and loved the movie...:bounce:

Rhi:hi:

[saltpoint]

22. Robert Redford in JEREMIAH JOHNSON.

Also:

THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR

Robert Altman's A WEDDING

Dustin Hoffman in TOOTSIE

And a French film, THE DREAMLIFE OF ANGELS

[Heidi]

26. I don't know you personally, but

I'd recommend the Martin Scorsese film, "Kundun," to almost anyone. It's the story of the early years of the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. It's beautifully filmed and quite political. If you can't rent it this weekend, I hope you can pencil it in for a future weekend. Call Me Wesley and I loved it so much that we bought the DVD. :thumbsup:

33. A few of my recent satisfactory viewings

Casanova - a nice period piece. Not great, but not bad. It's entertaining.
Little Fish - Aussie flick with Cate Blanchett as a former druggie trying to get her own business going.
Mrs. Henderson Presents - Rich widow's hobby of staging girlie shows during the war.
The Edukators - German flick about three mates who creep rich bastards' homes, only to kidnap one.
Der Tunnel - Another German flick about tunneling beneath the Berlin Wall to escape to the west.

[Cooley Hurd]

34. "Downfall" - a powerful movie about Hitler in the bunker...

...as seen thru the eyes of his secretary.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. Hey! It's too late to change your vote!!!

Just kidding. That was a very good movie, as well, but I'm still sticking with my original suggestion...:D

[Cooley Hurd]

37. What do you have against Hitler, anyway?

Was it the mustache? You probably hate Chaplin too, don't ya?:rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Yeah, what I have against Hitler was the mustache...

:shrug:

And no, I don't hate all guys who have facial hair. Chaplin was a brilliant man.;)

It's just that I think that Everything Is Illuminated is more worth seeing, definitely leaves you with a much better feeling about people and life.:-)

And the dog was priceless!:rofl:

[Stevendsmith]

35. Team America. I laughed so hard I almost hyperventilated. (n/t)

[Initech]

38. America... FUCK YEAH!!!
