If you liked the movie, you'll LOVE the book (it's much better). Look for it in your library... it was written by Henri Charriere (spelling may be wrong).

I never read the book, but I do remember my parents taking me to see it when I was a kid. It was a very impressive movie, for sure. I remember that as one of the first movies that I saw with Dustin Hoffman. I guess I wasn't allowed to see The Graduate or Midnight Cowboy.

I saw THE GRADUATE in the movies with my Uncle Lou. He's only 8 years older than me, so he was my "cool" uncle growing up. I guess I was 8 and he was 16 when it came out in '67. He lived in Yonkers. We saw it at the Kent Theatre on McLean Avenue. You may remember that place, Babe. It was near Wakefield, just over the Bronx/Yonkers line.

I suddenly feel very old. I was in a high school class in Sociology and was assigned to see "The Graduate" as part of a group discussion. (Of course I loved it).

I was 6 when it came out.

Mommy, why is Mrs. Robinson always bothering that boy??

I love The Graduate. Especially the parts when he is with Mrs Robinson!

I just started watching Fallen with Denzel Washington and a little known actor by the name of James Gandolfini.

I never saw that movie at the theater, and don't now if it was a big hit or not, but I really liked that movie. Did you enjoy it Paul?

Tiiiime is on my side, yes it is...

That movie scared the heck out of me. I thought that John Goodman and Denzel Washington were very good together.

Mr. Babe is driving me nuts. He's flipping back and forth between The Right Stuff and Aliens. Needless to say, it's getting rather confusing.

go see Elite Squad! official trailer in here.

I suppose most of you will not like it and the international version will probably be a piece of shit. they already changed the focus of the plot from Cap. Nascimento to the two recruits, which is a bad start but give it a chance!

Yes, it was very good.

I just finished watching the following:

1) Narc. Ray Liotta shined in the role of Detective Oak. Jason Patric wasn't bad as Liotta's partner. Both are investigating the mysterious death of a fellow Narcotics officer.

2) The Silence of the Lambs- Anthony Hopkins was scary in the role of Dr Hannibal Lecter. Ted Levine played the killer dubbed Buffalo Bill. Levine was also in Crime Story with Dennis Farina. Levine can also be seen in Monk as Detective Stotelmeyer[sp].

3) The Wild Bunch- This is a masterpiece in my opinion. Sam Peckinpah was a genius.

Just watched Into the Wild (2007) ...really good stuff! A great life/journey film, but for some reason the very end seemed a bit too easy for me. But maybe that's life, huh? Ya never really know what'll do you in......

We saw The Bucket List last night. It was a sweet movie that managed to find humor in a plot that involved two dying men. The two main characters are from completely different worlds. They are brought together because they are both dying of cancer in the same hospital room. I would imagine that the film's charm is due more to the excellence of the actors (Nicholson and Freeman) than to the excellence of the script. I liked it, though, and would definitely recommend it.

A little piece of trivia: the woman who played Morgan Freeman's wife played the assistant principal to his Joe Clark in Lean On Me.

I just watched I am Legend and the shot of the deconstructed Brooklyn Bridge(?) appears to be the same one that appeared in I, Robot.

RUN,FAT BOY RUN with Simon Pegg,about a lazy fat idler who runs the London marathon to win the love of his life back!

All a bit of tosh really,but it has some genuinely funny moments!

I enjoyed it, Yogi. David Schwimmer (FRIENDS) directed it. He showed some promise.

Of course you are right PB, i forgot to mention that!

Yes i enjoyed it as well. Just lolled on the sofa watching it with a can or 2 of beer! My sort of relaxation

I went to the pictures to watch this a couple of years ago... Good film.. Im really getting into Simon Pegg films...

SHAUN OF THE DEAD is still one of my favourite movies

I agree,, modern day classic..

I just watched Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT, with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine.

A New York City classic!

Great movie pizzaboy. Another Lemmon classic, SOME LIKE IT HOT with Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis

I missed this post earlier, but which Black Sheep are you talking about? Do you mean the 2006 version where genetically altered killer fast-moving zombie-like sheep terrorize the small town farm? That movie was hilarious, in a "so bad it was funny" way. And it wasn't even that bad really. Your expectations should have been low to begin with knowing you're about to see a movie about killer sheep.

I just watched "The Wanderers". Anyone remember that film about the Italian Gang?

It was corny as hell, But I had a good laugh throughout the movie. I had heard about it here and there and a friend lent it to me.

I expected some hard ass crew walking the streets and taking over shit, But it turned out the Wanderers were actually quite a bunch of pussies. Except for one dude who joined later on. Then you had the Baldies (Skin head crew) the Blacks, the Wongs and the Duckie Boys.

The fight scenes were good for a laugh. There was a disturbing scened when the leader of the Baldies (prob in his mid to late twenties) makes out with his midget Girlfriend (probably 15 max). It just looked fucked up and wrong on so many levels.

But, yeah. Corny yet funny.

I haven't watched any movies in awhile really. Just haven't had the urge. I get bored even if it's a good movie I'd want to play my DS or read a book during it lately.

Thanks for adding nothing to this thread.

'night!

You know those "fun" to watch movies that they play a lot and you can't resist at least watching part of it? For me, Die Hard is one, so Shawshank Redemmption and Overboard with Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell.

Now, added to my list is "Final Destination". I don't always watch the entire movie, but find I enjoy certain parts and/or just can't resist watching parts of it.


TIS

1) Hannibal- I found this movie to be scarier than any horror movie I have ever seen.

2) Transformers- The movie wasn't bad. Wal-Mart was showing it and it peaked my interest.

Master and Commander- Russell Crowe was brilliant as always. The only minus was Wal Mart only has the full screen version in the $5.00 DVD bin.
