My Movie List
[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!]
[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.
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):- 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

- Howl's Moving Castle
- Kill Bill v.1 & 2
- King Kong (both versions)
Kinsey- Man of the Year
- March of the Penguins

- 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)

- The Chronicles of Narnia
The DaVinci Code- The Doors
- The Ice Storm

- Wet Hot American Summer (rec from greydora)
- 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)

- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- Sling Blade (another one I missed the end of because of Chelsea)
- Gosford Park
- Driving Miss Daisy
- Taxi Driver

As for movies...Brokeback Mountain was tragic and beautiful, and Gone With The Wind is a great movie from a mediocre book. And my "watch 'em till my eyes turn square films," you ask? James Bond, especially the ones with Connery, Dalton, and Brosnan.

Brokeback Mountain should be number one on your list and, where the hell is Wet Hot American Summer? It's the greatest movie of all time. fer serious.
no subject
Brokeback is very, very high on the list. But I'm not about to try to drag TRex to a movie, and we're already scrambling to find a sitter for her for one morning when daycare is on spring break but Canisius isn't.
