I will have to check Away from Her out at some point. The Doggie Doo Run Run people thought highly of it too.

Did you know that with Netflix, you can put in a brand new movie that has just been released in theaters, and save it. That way as soon as it's released on video you get it.

Re: FAVORITE MOVIES TO RECOMMEND FOR RENTAL VIEWING
 

Blockbuster.com has that feature too.

Just saw Mr. Hulot's Holiday on DVD. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046487/ Had never seen this one before even though it is from 1953. I ordered it after reading about it in Roger Ebert's The Great Movies (2002). It is in this book along with The Shawshank Redemption, The Silence of the Lambs, Some Like It Hot and one of my favorites Sunset Blvd .

This book by Roger Ebert is definitely worth a look about which movies to get on DVD.

Saw "3:10 to Yuma" last night.
If you like Westerns, this one was pretty good. I heard it compared to "The Unforgiven", but I didn't tink it was that good. But it is definitely worth seeing.

Re: FAVORITE MOVIES TO RECOMMEND FOR RENTAL VIEWING
 

Did not think 3:10 to Yuma was as good as The Unforgiven. The Unforgiven is one of the best westerns up there with High Noon, Shane and The Wild Bunch

Re: FAVORITE MOVIES TO RECOMMEND FOR RENTAL VIEWING
 

Uh, I said the same thing. I merely said "I heard it compared to the Unforgiven, but I din't think it was that good. We agree! ;D

:agree:

Just got Shiloh Falls with my Blockbuster exchange program. I can exchange the DVD I got in the mail for something I pick up at a local Blockbuster store. This unfortunately looks like another stinker which so many of the recent direct-to-DVD westerns have turned out to be. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804541/.

All you kids seem fixated with modern stuff at the expense of truly great cinematic accvomplishments, e.g.,
The Prisoner of Zenda
A Tale of Two Cities
Lost Horizon
If I Were King
Random Harvest
and, of course, Around the World in Eighty Days

There were a few other actors who turned in decent performance:
39 Steps
The Third Man
The Man Who Knew Too Much
To Be or Not to Be
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Tarantula
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
David & Lisa
The Mouse That Roared
Spartacus
The Exorcist
The Loved Ones
Murder By Death

and many, many more

Re: FAVORITE MOVIES TO RECOMMEND FOR RENTAL VIEWING
 

You are welcome. It's not quickly paced like many recent slapstick comedies but it was definitely worth watching. If you like Mr. Bean, you should like Mr. Hulot.

Re: FAVORITE MOVIES TO RECOMMEND FOR RENTAL VIEWING
 

My wife and I watched "The Departed" on thanksgiving morning... couldn't stop. With Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Decaprio, Mark Walberg.... kept us on the edge of our seats

The reading room
 

Just watched dvd today and found "The Reading Room" to be a heartwarming story for any age.......


Favorite movie I have viewed repeatedly.....an oldie....."Hanover Street."

I hate recommending movies, but you cannot go wrong with Dave and City Slickers. Nothing to offend, and both in good humor. As for my taste, give me North by Northwest, Fargo and A Hard Day's Night.

Medicine Man with Sean Connery, Hunt for Red October, Sean Connery,
Patriot with Mel Gibson.

Arsenic and Old Lace, great Old Gary Grant movie and Harvey with James Stewart.

Hope Floats is a good movie for the girls.

Seabiscuit with Toby Mcguire

The Mummy with Brendan Fraser

One of my favorites I haven't seen mentioned was 'Somethings Got To Give' with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.
