Miss Peregrine Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My queue is running low. I like indies, Bollywood, offbeat. Mainstream is okay, too. I recently saw and loved "Bella" "Waitress" "Lars and the Real Girl" Coming today is "Everything is Illuminated" What else is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Of those, I have only seen Chocolat. I will look for the others. Thank you! Becoming Jane is on instant play, so you can watch it right away if you want. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abreakfromlife Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 oooh Kristine's list sounds awesome. August Rush is sooo good. Well, mostly. LOL. I love the soundtrack. I bet you'll like Everything is Illuminated. That was such a cool, unique movie. God Grew Tired of Us The Kite Runner Kandahar Here are a couple that are in my queue but haven't seen yet, so they might not be that good, LOL.

abreakfromlife Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I don't understand a low queue....I have over 100 movies in mine...I'm worried I'll never get to watch all I want to :lol: oh and Slumdog Millionaire if you haven't seen it yet.

secular_mom Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 LOL, I had so many in mine that I had to delete some in order to add a new one for my kiddos. The limit, BTW, is 500. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 fwiw - I enjoyed Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day - but I don't watch many movies, so maybe that's not a great recommendation! Cry, the Beloved Country is up next for me. . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_Edgerton Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Everything is Illuminated is amazing. I keep a running log of all the movies we see, so here are just a few that got high marks. I enjoy offbeat, small, and some old movies as well...hopefully you will enjoy a few. Sylvia, Ordinary People, Rear Window, The Apartment, anything by Christopher Guest, Shattered Glass, Iris, Before Sunset, The Seventh Seal, The French Connection, Garden State, Danny Deckchair, Gaslight, The Barbarian Invasions,The Sting, The Sea Inside, The Upside of Anger, Off the Map, Mrs. Miniver, Proof, Winter Passing, Gosford Park, Alone in the Wilderness,10 Items or Less,....gosh I could go on and on. I also love The Office (british version) Spaced, all the Poirot series, House, Freaks and Geeks, and Arrested Development, Planet Earth, Blue Planet, and Boston Legal as far as TV series. I have logged over a 1000 movies, tv shows, and documentaries to this point...PM me in the future for further recs if these work out.

Alphabetika Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Have you seen the Bollywood movie Lagaan? It's loooong (about 4 hours) and more historical than any other B-wood movies we've seen, but it's so good! Fabulous music, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) I agree: Rabbit Proof Fence was amazing! And August Rush too! I rented God Grew Tired of Us but wasn't really in the mood for it. I'll get it again. Some of my recent are: BBC Sense and Sensibility John Adams No Reservations (romance) The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn (inspirational) The Secret Life of Bees Wit Some other good ones are: Mrs. Brown The Queen Quiz Show You've Got Mail We are Marshall Remains of the Day Jane Austin stuff Hitch The White Countess Music from the Heart Mr. Holland's Opus Kate & Leopold Stepmom October Sky Akeelah and the Bee Empire Falls Snow Cake Edited April 3, 2009 by nestof3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Awesome! Thanks for all the replies. The only one I already had was August Rush. I definitely have lots to choose from now!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
