Coming To America
Beverly Hills Cop Drop Dead Fred Selena Monster Inc Finding Nemo Ice Age The Day After Tomorrow Napoleon Dynomite I LOVE THIS MOVIE! White Chicks wasn't the best! But it made me laugh so hard. Ten Commandments - I love watching this movie during Christmas time it gives me a home-y comforting feeling. They play it a lot during christmas ever since I was little so I guess thats why. I like to open the windows a little and cuddle under a warm blanket and watch "Moooooises.....MOOOOOISES" LOL And Donnie Darko I love that kid...I love Jake Gyllenhaal...oh gosh is it hot in here? Jake Gyllenhaal Edit [Edited 7/18/05 19:07pm] | |

"So you had a mammy?" "Yes, all my life." Damn. You want to hate the daughter but at the same time sympathize with her birth in a world where she is hindered by racism). YES. There are two version of this and they're both great. One in black and white and then a 50's melodrama by Douglas Sirk. | |

heartbeatocean said: Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick) I thought I included this one in my list, but I must have left it off. Easily one of the most beautifully filmed movies ever. Stunning cinematography. I love Malick, and I'm really looking forward to the November release of his new film.

http://www.thenewworldmovie.com I'm so there.It baffles me that that Malick, one of the greatest living directors, has released a grand total of 5 films over a 36-year period and a hack like Michael Bay has released more than that in a 10-year period. | |

Yes Amazon sells them both in one set at a really good price. I'll probably buy it for Christmas. [Edited 7/18/05 20:32pm] | |

There was a renewed interest in his films with the release of Far From Heaven a couple of years back. They've since replaced that release with a new disc that has the original 1934 Claudette Colber version as well as the 1959 Lana Turner version. | |
