recommended movies to see

Underworld, Kill bill 1 and 2, hidalgo, lord of rings return of the king, Van Helsing and Jeepers creepers 2. I watched those movies this weekend alone and man those movies are good. Although i seen them all a minimum of maybe 8 times already except Van Helsing only 4. Underworld is unbelieveable. Can't wait til part 2 this fall. Return of the king and pirates of Carribean i debated which movie was the best of 2003 and i have to give it to Return of the King.

* Hildalgo is so incredibly good.

It's the best man-meets-horse movie ever made -- way better than Seabiscuit.


* I didn't like any of the Lord of the Rings. I hated them and found them immensely boring. I guess I'm not a fantasy fan.

* Kill Bill 1 was horribly shallow and offensive. I only enjoyed Vivica's scenes. I liked Kill Bill 2 better.

* My tastes don't lean toward the other movies you've mentioned (I like drama), but here's some movies I've seen in the past two months that I LOVED and would recommend:

Taxi Driver with Deniro
House of Sand and Fog (so good!!)
King Arthur
Gangs of New York
In America
Thirteen
The Pianist
The Cooler
The Door in the Floor
The Hours
Mean Creek
Life is Beautiful

2 movies I can whole heartedly recommend...

Mean Creek..About these kids who want to take revenge on a bully, but things go awfully arwy. Great acting by all the Kids.

And House of Sand and Fog…kinda slow, but sucks you in. Jennifer Connelly (I’m liking her more and more) plays a slightly instable woman being evicted from her house because of a Business Tax (500 bucks) she never paid…even though she doesn’t own a business and the tax was a mistake. Ben Kingley plays Iranian American Citizen who buys the house when its auctioned (I think because he is in financial straps) and refuses to give it back at the price he paid for it. They both need the house, however neither is willing to give the other what they need. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Who did you want to own the house? I began to hate Jennifer's character. I mean this man is pursuing his American Dream just like she is. She was irresponsible. Why did she not read her mail? To me, The family who bought the house and wanted to sell it for profit had it fair and square. At the end, when she said no, this is not my house. I was like 'you, bitch!!"

Hildalgo caught me by surprise how good it was. As far as the movies u liked !3 was good also. Gangs of new york was too predictable. I have not seen the others yet.

I don't think I was rooting for either party. Yes, she was irresponsible...however, he was opportunistic. They never fully explianed why he needed so much money to live the posh lifestyle he had.

They both had something the other wanted, but each was unwilling to give that something to the other person. Neither deserved that house.

Be warned...these are not "feel good" movies. You can actually feel worse after watching them.
