You haven't seen Constantine featuring My Dawgs, Keanu Reeves & Shia LaBeouf? You should watch it over the weekend..It's a good Sci-Fi thriller.. | |

i really loved 'a ghost story.' it's one of my favourite movies of this year - i currently have it slotted as my #3. definitely not something to dive into if you're just looking for some easy-going, escapist fun, but if you're in the right mood for it i think it's really great. | |

Haven't seen most of these, and some I've seen weren't for me. But I did and still do love About A Boy, and the classics Kramer vs. Kramer and All the President's Men. | |

Well, Speed was alright...The runaway Bus Plot keeps me from suggesting it as a must-see... | |

Ghost story was a good movie but it just moved at a VERY SLOW pace.I forgot the ending but some friends of mine were confused by it | |

I'm gonna watch the first two Mad Max movies. I hope to see "The Disaster Artist" but I'm not sure I'll be able to squeeze in "The Room" first. Maybe I can go to a draft house this Saturday night after church. | |

I will pray for you at the service Saturday night (or Sunday morning, might go then instead). | |

BTW, the movie house that shows "The Room" at midnight apparently only shows it one weekend a month - and this weekend ain't it. BUT.....they ARE show THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE OF ALL TIME at 11:59 PM Saturday night! | |

It's a great movie (I love the whole trilogy) but it's no match for Home Alone. | |

No doubt about it. I love ALL 3 Die Hard movies. Every 23rd of December I watch them all back to back (followed by the Festivus episode of Seinfeld) but Home Alone is classic. Watching Joe Pesci try not to curse for 90 minutes is a Christmas tradition. | |

Well to get things back on track, from your list I'd recommend W, assuming that's the George Bush movie and not another movie by the same name. It's really good and although sometimes Josh Brolin's portrayal goes a bit too far into comedy impressions territory, he's otherwise really good in the role. I'd also recommend that you remove the likes of Baywatch and Daddy's Home from the list. They're not funny and will only make you wish you chose to do something else, like go to the dentist or get castrated. | |

Unfortunately for me, I always finish a movie if I start it. It must be some kind of OCD thing or something. I've sat through that awful Ghostbusters remake just because I spent money on the ticket. If you do remove anything from your list, I'd recommend a few Irish movies to you to take their place. These are legendary in Ireland, especially in Dublin. I've never met anyone here who didn't like them. The Commitments The Snapper The Van I showed them to my ex, who's from the States, and he loved them, even though he wasn't entirely sure of what the characters were saying half the time. They are movies made and set in Dublin so all the characters have heavy Dublin accents. My ex was also taken aback by some of the language used because there's "fucks", "cunts", "pricks" and "bollockses" thrown around with reckless abandon. Which is a very accurate portrayal of Dublin, in fairness. But they're all very very funny movies and even though you'd probably have to have spent some time here to get every joke, you'll still really enjoy them. | |

[Edited 12/21/17 23:35pm] Skip everything but Kramer vs Kramer and possibly the lobster. Don't know if u feel like absurdist dry humor.the rest is mostly crap.... (*with a few titles i simply don't know) [Edited 12/22/17 20:53pm] ♫"Trollin, Trolling! We could have fun just trollin'!"♫ | |

This is a great recommendation; love it. You won't be disappointed.
