My Movie List

[sarahmichelef]

[11/06 Update: Some reviews, and tell me things I should add!  I bought Closer and Rent last weekend, and we picked up Good Night and Good Luck recently as well, so hopefully I'll see those sometime soon.]

[ETA: cut because it's really freaking long!]

Same as my reading list, only for movies. Much more random, as well, since I'm just adding titles as they occur to me. Again, recs are happily accepted. These are things that would be in my NetFlix queue if I had a NetFlix subscription and if it included first-run movies.

• A Beautiful Mind (I keep seeing snippets of it on TV, but never the whole thing all the way through)
• Adaptation
• Ali
• Batman Begins
• Best in Show
• Bobby
• Bowling for Columbine
• Bridge over the River Kwai
• Brokeback Mountain
• Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (saw the first half on AMC, but then M decided to change the channel to watch Las Vegas instead.  WTF?)
• Capote
• Casablanca
• Casino Royale
• Chicken Run
• Closer
• Corpse Bride
• Crash
• Erin Brokovich
• Fahrenheit 911
• For Your Consideration
• Finding Neverland
• Good Night, and Good Luck
  
• House of Sand and Fog
• Howl's Moving Castle
• Kill Bill v.1 & 2
• King Kong (both versions)
• Kinsey
• Man of the Year
• March of the Penguins
• Memoirs of a Geisha (I loved the book & have no expectations of the movie being anything like it, which from everything I've heard, it isn't.)
• Monster
• Monster's Ball
• Nacho Libre
• Napoleon Dynamite
• Network
• Pirates of the Caribbean II
• Pirates of the Caribbean III
• Planet of the Apes (both versions)
• Prairie Home Companion

• Snow Falling on Cedars (another favorite book)
• Stranger than Fiction
• Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
• The Chronicles of Narnia
• The DaVinci Code
• The Doors
• The Ice Storm

• Wallace & Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
• Walk the Line
  
• Wet Hot American Summer (rec from greydora)

And the things I've seen but want to watch again (compulsive fangirl re-watching like I do with things like HP and LOTR and StarWars doesn't count):

• Dr. Strangelove
  
• The World According to Garp
  
• My Left Foot
  
• Boogie Nights (like many movies that came to SUMO my junior year, I haven't seen the last 20 minutes or so of it - because I had to leave to go open the theater for Chelsea)
  
• Gone With the Wind (M's never seen it and he should)
  
• Fast Times at Ridgemont High
  
• Sling Blade (another one I missed the end of because of Chelsea)
  
• Gosford Park
  
• Driving Miss Daisy
  
• Taxi Driver
