I thought this might be a fun ongoing thread. You get to see what others are watching and may find a new movie for your collection. New, old, color, B&W, foreign, concert or whatever...its all good.

I'll start with an excellent animated flick with rich detail and a good soundtrack: Tim Burton's Nine

Ok, I'm in. My wife and I play a game we call pick three. She picks three movies and of those I pick the one that we will watch. The three that she picked were The Avengers, Inglurious Basterds, and The Dark Knight Rises. I chose The Dark Knight Rises. :)

Watched "Water for Elephants". Hal Holbrook would have stolen the show were it not for his limited parts at the beginning and end. Good cinematography, casting, and acting but there were some weak points to the plot (too much like the "good" guy stealing the "bad" guys wife and the bad guy wasn't bad enough - he even had a good side at times), and the ending was just a bit flat, but ok movie.

Watched Perks of Being a Wallflower last night. Good movie. Some classic scenes. Love Emma Watson dancing to Come On Eileen. Takes me back in time as I used to live in Pittsburgh. My teenage girls love the book and the movie.

I watched 'Contact' directed by Robert Zemeckis. I love that film. Still stands today as a great example of 'invisible' special effects. Also one of the best intros to a movie ever. Stonking audio.

Oooooh, I did not realize this was out. Wait, is this still in theaters?

Tonight my grandson (10) picked John Carter. The movie tanked at the box office but I found it entertaining. Disney gambled on two unknown actors for the lead roles. I think the movie would have done a lot better with a leading man movie goers knew. Still a fun space tale.

We watched that two weeks ago. Entertaining certainly. My Wife is a huge SciFi reader, and knew this character from Her past reading. She watched it twice.

We enjoy movies without 'Stars' cast in them. Sometimes they are a flop, other times they are done wonderfully.

He sure could jump! :)

Just watched Skyfall and I must say what a great movie. This is one of those movies that makes the projection home theater all worth it. Fantastic cinema, awesome soundtrack and a true theater experience.
