This is one of those pages I no longer have the energy to update. There are just too many, due to the blessing/ curse of Netflix.
***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMNT***
Avoid Intelliflix at all costs. They Intellisuck.
There will probably be a lot more activity on this page, since we are now members of Netflix!!! Oh. My. God. It's wonderful!!!
So let's get rollin!
I don't see a lot of movies, so God only knows how long this list will take to update.
Anyway:
| Everything is now in my Netflix queue. I'm not gonna re-create it here; it's just too many movies. |
| Passion Fish | More John Sayles! Yea! I saw this years ago and had to see it again after seeing Lone Star. Great movie. |
| Lone Star | John Sayles... sigh. What an amazing writer and director. This was a great movie; Chris Cooper is wonderful. |
| Donnie Darko | Loved this. So weird and cool. I ended up seeing it twice, and I liked it even more the second time. Great cameos. |
| Buena Vista Social Club | I'd wanted to see this for a long time. It's pretty good. I bet I would have loved it if I were more into Cuban music. I want to go to Havana. |
| Secretary | This ROCKED!! So good. I don't want to say anything about it because you just have to see it for yourself. |
| Billy Elliot | This is a wonderful movie. |
| Return To Me | I may be nuts, but I really liked this. I love Minnie Driver and David Duchovny, and the writing and direction (by Bonnie Hunt) are really well done. |
| The Road to Perdition | I liked this more than I like most of Tom Hank's work... largely because this was a totally different character for him. |
| The Basketball Diaries | This was actually pretty good. Leonardo diCaprio was great... he really can act when he wants to |
| My Big Fat Greek Wedding | Eh. This was okay. It was cute and better written than your average romance movie. |
| Austin Powers in Goldmember | This was just wretched. It didn't even make sense a lot of the time. |
| Hedwig and the Angry Inch | I. Loved. This. SO good. The music is fantastic, the story, the acting... wow!!! Dave wasn't as into it. BUT I LOVED IT!!!! And John Cameron Mitchell is SO not German, but you'd never know. He's a Texan!! Woohoo! |
| Lone Star | John Sayles... sigh. What an amazing writer and director. This was a great movie; Chris Cooper is wonderful. |
| Donnie Darko | Loved this. So weird and cool. I ended up seeing it twice, and I liked it even more the second time. Great cameos. |
| Hedwig and the Angry Inch | I.
Loved. This. SO good. The music is fantastic, the story, the acting...
wow!!! Dave wasn't as into it. BUT I LOVED IT!!!! And John Cameron
Mitchell is SO not German, but you'd never know. He's a Texan!!
Woohoo! ALSO: Just saw the stage version with Kevin Cahoon. And now I love Hedwig EVEN MORE. |
| Shallow Grave | I can't believe I forgot this before!!! Fan-freakin'-tastic. |
| Living in Oblivion | Hilarious Steve Buscemi movie. |
| Rat Race | Had a horrible ad campaign, but it was really funny. |
| Office Space | Same as above... |
| Zero Effect | Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller. GREAT acting work. |
| Dark City | Beautiful and visionary. |
| Heavenly Creatures | Same as above... |
| A Little Princess | Same as above... but make sure you're seeing the 1995 version and not the Shirley Temple one. |
| American History X | VERY disturbing, but worth seeing. |
| Lone Star | John Sayles... sigh. What an amazing writer and director. This was a great movie; Chris Cooper is wonderful. |
| Hedwig and the Angry Inch | I. Loved. This. SO good. The music is fantastic, the story, the acting... wow!!! Dave wasn't as into it. BUT I LOVED IT!!!! And John Cameron Mitchell is SO not German, but you'd never know. He's a Texan!! Woohoo! |
| Amelie | I LOVED this. The story is beautiful, the cinematography is beautiful, and Audrey Tatoo is certainly beautiful. I just wish there had been more of the animatronic pigs and such. |
| Moulin Rouge! | Fantastic and visionary with exceptional performances. Baz Luhrmann (R+J, Strictly Ballroom) is brilliant. |
| All About Eve | Bette Davis at her best. |
| Charade | Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant at their funniest. |
| Miracle on 34th Street | I am amazed each year when I watch this at how GOOD this movie is. Some of the best character performances ever, and Natalie Wood is amazing. |
| Three Kings | Great movie. Very interesting. |
| Singin' In the Rain | LOVE!!! My friend Carolee used to watch this every day after school. |
| The Graduate | Little Dustin Hoffman is so CUTE! |
| The Quiet Man | This is the only John Wayne movie I like. And I love it. |
| Papillion | Harsh and REALLY GOOD. Steve McQueen is amazing. The consummate Everyman. |
| They Shoot Horses, Don't They? | Actually, I love a lot of these late 60's - mid 70's era films. They're generally ABOUT something, well-acted, and not overly soundtracked. |
| sex, lies and videotape. | OK, Andie MacDowell was good in this. I think that says a lot about Steven Soderbergh. |
| When Harry Met Sally |
Meg Ryan wasn't that annoying yet, it was well-written, Nora Ephron was just starting and wasn't her own genre yet. Good movie. |
| Bette Davis | Cary Grant |
| Audrey Hepburn | Edward Norton |
| Katharine Hepburn | George Clooney |
| Holly Hunter | Tim Robbins |
| Stockard Channing | Kevin Spacey |
| Thelma Ritter | Steve Buscemi |
| Patricia Neal | Guy Pearce |
| Laura San Giacomo | Russell Crowe |
| Celeste Holm | Stephen Tobolowsky |
| Meryl Streep | Steve McQueen |
| Grace Kelly | John Leguizamo |
| Frances McDormand | John Cusack |
| Cyd Charisse | Jack Lemmon |
| Chris Cooper |
| Duets | What the hell was this??? And why couldn't anybody sing?? (Gwenyth was good). Horrid script. |
| Melanie Griffiths | Hate! She's so friggin whiny. |
| Gretchen Mol | Cute, can't act. |
| Gone with the Wind | The book was so good, and I think the movie sucks. Largely because of... |
| Vivien Leigh | God-awful actress, though she was gorgeous. Watching her in Streetcar alongside Marlon Brando is just painful. It's like they're in two different movies. |
