Movies - both new and old

I also loved

Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers! Really, really hilarious.

I saw

Meet the Robinsons last Tuesday. I’m thinking of

seeing it again- my brother and I are simply avoiding seeing [i][b]Reign Over

Me[/b][/i]- it looks good but it always hits home when they talk about some heartbreaking

story having to do with 9/11.

Yesterday, the day was going by so slow since I ran out of things to do and

was punished from using the computer, so … I watched extra features of [i][b]A Bug’s

Life[/b][/i] (Fleabie, outtakes, Geri’s Game, etc.) and I watched my old tape of

The Lion King (I never got the DVD but I have 2 and 1

1/2 on DVD O_o) and The NeverEnding Story.

I

also played Cars for a bit but that isn’t a movie.

^^

Join the club FONY. I just saw Meet the Robinsons last night. I really loved the movie.

I saw this film called Sunshine

last Wednesday. I wasn’t expecting too much, dispite being a very major sci-fi fan, but I was proven wrong! It

was just an AMAZING film, with the most stunning special effects, and there were so many moments of just sheer

tension when you didn’t even want to breathe! Its only downfall was that it was perhaps it was a little long,

but apart from that…incredible.

I think there will be a

sequel to Superman Returns.

What kind

of sports movies do you guys like?

I haven’t seen

many sports movies. The only one that I remember seeing is Angels in the Outfield. And that was fairly good.

lizardgirl - Cool –

I’ll have to check it out! :smiley:

The Star Swordsman - Sports movies? Eh – I’m

not really big on sports film (unless you count Martial Arts as a sport). The only one I really liked was

The Greatest Game Ever Played, simply because it was superbly done and also because

I’m a big fan of golf. :wink:

I love the Longest Yard,

Space Jam, Friday Night Lights, Coach Carter and Glory Road.

I like Remember the Titans… I don’t watch many

sports movies though.

[i]Field of

Dreams[/i], without a doubt, is my favorite sports-related movie of all time (#8 in my list of top

films). I also happen to be a huge baseball fan, but I can assure you that you don’t have to be a fan of that

sport to admire this goldmine of a film. You might also want to consider watching it with your parents (for

reasons you’ll realize once you actually do watch it :slight_smile:).

Another sports film that I absolutely love (#19

in my list) is Searching for Bobby Fischer. It’s funny actually - I watched the

movie on the same day I learned about it. I was surfing the net one day, looking for movies that might interest

me. Searching for Bobby Fischer was the first movie that I came across, and not

surprisingly (I guess I can say that now :wink: ) its premise got me really interested and curious (I became even

more curious when I realized that Roger Ebert gave it four stars out of four and that it has a 100% rating in

Rotten Tomatoes.) Once I learned about the film, I placed a hold on it in my city’s public library. However, a

few hours later, I somehow felt impatient, so I went to the public library and borrowed the film (I had to cancel

my hold first before actually borrowing it). I watched the movie the moment I got back home - I was elated and

shocked in the grandest of ways after realizing that I just witnessed a masterpiece.

Finally, how could I,

or anyone else who loved it for that matter, forget about Cars (which came in at #31

in my list)? :wink: I guess you can call that a sports movie too, can’t you? (Besides, none of the films that I just

mentioned above are your typical “sports” movies. To be very frank, I find a lot of sports films

cliched and preachy (e.g., Remember the Titans). Not that cliche and preachy are

always bad aspects of storytelling, but they were detrimental to the film in [i]Remember the

Titans[/i]’ case, and in many other sports films’ case, in my humble opinion).

CountSolo - My gosh, how could I have forgotten [i]Field of

Dreams[/i]? Although, judging by the fact that I haven’t seen in it years…it’s no surprise that I

nearly forgot about the film until you mentioned it. But yeah – it a masterpiece. I’ll have to see that again

sometime soon…

As for Cars: Hey yeah, I never really considered that to be

a sports movie until you said so! Heheh – that’s interesting. Well, I’ll count it in then. :wink:

There is one sports movie that comes to mind

that I haven’t seen: Kicking and Screaming.

I find that I really

love sports movies with football in it. It is one of my favorite sports.

What is your’e favorite movie of

all time?

Bill - My

favorite movie of all time is Finding Nemo. Absolutely

stunning. Words can’t describe this film, except for “stunning”. But, of

course, that will all change once I see Ratatouille. :wink:

Nice question,

Bill! :smiley:

This doens’t need

any thought. it is absolutely THE INCREDIBLES!!!. Don’t say it doesn’t count, because I will not change my

mind.

My favorite movie of all time is

Labyrinth- it’s my inspiration always. And, I’ve been

watching it for as long as I can remember, possibly since birth, which is about five years before Pixar came out

with it’s first film. So I have an excuse. ^^ It’s not to say I don’t love Pixar though- Pixar’s my reason

for living!

My favorite movie of all time?

Hmm…
IT’S SO HARD TO CHOOSE ONE!
Well,at the moment, from the Pixar

movies, I think my favorite is Finding Nemo, but when I see

Ratatouille, it’s going to change.
But, come on, it’s really hard to pick just

one movie! :confused:

Well, there are some films that, even

if I’ve just seen them, I’d want to watch them again…But my favourite film of all time has to be Artificial

Intelligence.
