Doran Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 By "adult", I don't mean X-rated. I just mean adult themed -- not Finding Nemo themed, although I adore that movie. But, hey. Let's live large. Go ahead and list five kid themed movies as well. Five Adult (PG-13 or over) Five Kid (PG-13 or under) Man, are we living dangerously or what?! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlemaiden Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 1. Much Ado About Nothing- with Brannagh ofcourse. 2. Pride and Prejudice- A&E 3. Lord of the Rings 4.House of Flying Daggers (or some other equally gorgeous martial arts kick butt movie) 5. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Those pretty much hit all the genres I need to have contact with on a regular basis. I could interchange a few, but my moods dictate my comfort movies.

Karenciavo Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 These are my favorites that I watch over and over: 1. Much Ado About Nothing 2. Pride and Prejudice- A&E 3. Lord of the Rings 4. Sense and Sensibility 5. A Christmas Carol with George C Scott Probably only The Lord of the Rings is PG13 right? O.K. well, I'll confess I enjoy these PG13 movies: The Godfather I & II Kill Bill I & II Die Hard All the Bourne movies Predator Let's pretend all those movie franchises I listed are boxed sets. :D For kid movies I love almost all the Pixar movies (A Bug's Life not so much) and the original Parent Trap with Haley Mills.

The Usual Suspects 5. Adaptation Kid movies: 1. Toy Story 2. Star Wars trilogy (the original trilogy back from the 1970s/80s -- those can count as kid movies, right?) 3. Night at the Museum 4. The Princess Bride 5. Harry Potter series Of course, if you asked me next week, my answers might be different (or at least some of them would, lol).

Aubrey Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Heh. I thought you meant "adult movies," too. Actually, I've made that mistake. In front of my in-laws. And their friends. You know, the one where you're trying to specify adult-not-kid-movie, but what you say is "adult movie." Ok, so my list. W/out going to look, because then it *would* be too hard, lol. 1. Music & Lyrics, because it cures all ails. 2. Matrix 3. Star Wars...erm...for dh 4. Mrs. Winterbourn--don't go looking for it, though. Hard to find & extremely bad acting. You'd be disappointed. 5. Dead Poet's Society. No, Tombstone. Definitely Tombstone. Kids 1. Toy Story 2 2. Monsters, Inc. 3. Robin Hood (Disney) 4. Winnie the Pooh (the old ones) 5. Movies, right? Not books? Ok, let's see....oh! How could I forget? Magic School Bus!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 This is probably an odd list, but it's how I really feel: Anna and the King One Night With the King The Nativity Story Lord of the Rings Trilogy (only have Return of the King on extended DVD, want the other 2 in extended version) Star Wars (all of them) Movies had a big part of our dating time and early marriage. My husband and I hit it off in the movie department from day 1 of our relationship. We both love action movies with a good story, classic love stories (not the comedy versions), and science fiction. I think that was one of the 3 reasons he married me. :) The other 2 are: I walk fast everywhere I go(no other girls he dated ever did), and I'm a math major so he feels I'm more logical thinking and don't rely on emotion as much(that changed some with motherhood!). Well...he really loves me, too! Amy of GA 11yo dd 5yo ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide eyes & laughter Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 the one I'm recommending is, "a film by George Butler" - on the DVD cover.
