Looking up and down this page, I noticed there wasn't a single thread devoted to movies

. So in comes that one guy from the OETA movie club (Sorry, have to be from Oklahoma to get it), wanting to talk about movies. Lets go....

I'll start off with my top ten movies in no particular order.

1. Toy Story
2. All the old Star Wars movies
3. Arachnophobia
4. I guess I have to put The Two Towers on here (but I didn't really like any of the other ones).
5. Monsters Inc.
6. Searching for Bobby Fisher (chess movie).
7. Larger than Life (another movie you've never seen).
8. Raising Arizona
9. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
10. Cool Runnings

Proud (Hopefully) Vice President

42

"Shucks, I've been living in an abominable manner my entire life"
Bullwinkle Moose (when told he must live in the Abominable Manor for one week)

Bitter and Cynical forever

Fair is a place where you ride rides and eat cotton candy

I'd rather be surprised as a pessimist than surprised as an optimist

1. Pride & Prejudice (the A&E version) - it's my favourite movie ever!
2. The Return of the King (partisan war coming along here ;D)
3. The Fellowship of the Ring
4. Star Wars films
5. The Four Feathers
6. Lawrence of Arabia
7. Toy Story(ies)
8. iRobot (it was very good - for a more modern movie)
9. Our Mutual Friend
10. Oliver Twist

Never digress from the topic of your sentence too much. I had an uncle who always used to do that and it was very annoying. He lived in a log cabin in Massachusetts and he owned a white horse named Shark, which was coincidentally also the name of the Ohio-class submarine that sunk the Pharaoh in 1942...

It behooves us to avoid archaisms.

" No lace, Mrs. Bennett, No lace!" lOL, thats like one of my favorite lines of his. Besides, " I'm afraid we cannot escape the aquaintance now." And my favorite character (besides heroine Elizabeth) would have to be Jane or Mrs. Gardner, just because they are both so sweet of spirit

But yeah, Heartofgold if you havn't seen it, do!!!

1) Lord of the Rings (all)
2) original and pre-Pickard Star Trek movies
3) Old Star Wars movies (Episode 3 had the stupidest line)
4) Toy Story
5) iRobot (although, it was quite different from the book)

... wow ... I just realized how pathetic I am ... only 5 movies that really grip me.

Although, I personally prefer books.

Some interesting quotes:

If there were no God, there would be no Atheists.
G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)

Ya know, when everyone is allowed to get their way, things seem to be worse off than if one person got their way...

But have you read the book version of Pride & Prejudice, or any of the other Charles thingyens/Jane Austen novels? They're fantastic.

And yes, I have read other Jane Austen books, like Sense and Sensibility ( the movie was better ) and Northranger abbey but I have never read the Pride and Prejedice books.

The Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion the Witch and the Wardrove

That movie was... OK. Some of the acting was pathetic (Peter made me want to gag), the LOTR special effects guy ran out of money (Cyclops's with rubber masks... aigh! creepy), and it didn't move right. It moved too slow until it was supposed to move slow, then it moved fast. Plus, slow motion does absolutely nothing for me. So all these slow motion shots just came across as annoying.

Star Wars!!!!!

I hope you mean the old ones.

The Birds (once more i'ma sucker for horror)

Yea for Alfred Hitchthingy (I know his last name, in case its coming out as Hitchthingy). Haven't seen the birds yet though. I want to...

Back to the Future

Hey I forgot about that one. Yea, that's definitely on my top ten. I'll kick off... oh its difficult... I guess I'll kick off Arachnophobia (although that was a great movie too, you'd like it GDL).

If you ever see a Disney movie called Larger than Life (with an elephant on the cover), rent it or buy it immediately. It has Bill Murry in it and was one of the funnies movies I have ever seen.

I think Monty Python is a ton better than the Three Stooges. All the Three Stooges do is hit each other. Monty Python has a wide array of talent, if you call it that.

I just saw the movie John Q. It has to be one of the best movies ever!!!! The story is great and you never know what will happen next. It is about a kid who needs a heart transplant to live and what his father does to get it.
