50, 51, 69 for sure and 83 is a maybe depending on your tolerance for Tom Cruise. Minority Report is a damn good SF movie based on a Philip K Dick story.

Also, The Rock is a great action movie.

There's several other movies on that list I really like, but I'm a blockbuster whore.

mm nice icon :)

Thanks for the suggestions.

Mmm, lets see. 'Monsters Inc' is actually quite funny and the little girl is the most adorable thing ever. 'Signs' is worth seeing, though it's not as good as Unbreakable or Sixth Sense. I remember 'Godzilla' being good too, but it's been a while. 'Minority Report's a fairly decent sci-fi movie.

This is all my personal opinion of course.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did like both Unbreakable and Sixth Sense, so I may try Signs. Still, don't they kill the alien by trapping it in the pantry (ref. Xander)?

[alicamel.livejournal.com]

Withoutspoiling it too much, yes there is an alien in a pantry, but that's not how it dies. It is worth seeing, possibly not alone, but then I freak out easily. :)

In my (very humble and unimportant, lol) opinion, Minority Report is absolutely brilliant :) Depends if you can stand Tom Cruise or not, and even if you don't like him the movie is probably still worth while :)

I like TC in movies, not otherwise, though. I'll try to check that one out.

Ones I think you *must* see in Bold.

Forrest Gump: Expect cheese and love the soundtrack.
Monsters, Inc: Cutest kid ever, and I dare you to watch this and not say "Mike Wachowski" just to hear yourself laugh.
Toy Story 2: Really didn't enjoy it as much as the first.
Pearl Harbor: Watch with Kleenex, not for the faint of heart.
Cast Away: Beginning is tres boring, but the volleyball steals the show.
The Bodyguard: Not as bad as you think it'll be... Good music.
Gone with the Wind: A must-see. It's long, there's an intermission, but amazing. Clark Gable was born for this role. He's everything George Clooney wants to be.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: Different/better than you'd expect.. but watch Men In Tights instead.
Deep Impact: God the tears. Everything Armageddon wanted to be but sucked at. Plus, Morgan Freeman's the President.
What the heck was Dinosaur? A kiddie cartoon?
Tomorrow Never Dies: One of the better Bond movies. But that's not really saying a lot.
Top Gun: "I crack myself up." Must-see. Val Kilmer, Tom Skerrit, Anthony Edwards and the hottest volleyball scene ever shot.
Minority Report: Okay. Neal McDonough, Colin Farrell and that Russian guy that's in everything. I'd recommend Imposter as the better Philip K. Dick movie, but MR makes a great stand.
The Rock: Brainless, goofy, and so implausible its hilarious. Which makes it the perfect summer movie.
Rush Hour 2: Better than the first one. Outtakes at the end are the best part.

And I apologize for attacking your comments. hee.

Men in Tights! I love that movie!

And feel free to attack my comments any time.

Of what I've seen of these (not much), the only two movies I remember fondly are Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc.

Turns out I'm a Pixar ho. Who knew?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I'll try to check them out. I did like Toy Story.
