[MrScorpio]

1. I finally saw Spartan

Good movie

Had you thinking

[movie_girl99]

3. Val Kilmer is fab in anything n/t

[Joe Power]

12. I watched it over the weekend, too

I really wasn't too impressed. It was okay.

[davidinalameda]

2. watched Saved

funny as hell and it didn't portray Christians in a bad light either--just the hypocritical holier than thou ones

highly recommend it to anyone

[movie_girl99]

5. great movie

my daughter rented it last week and her and her friends watched it 3 times. We live in a very conservative area so they could totally relate.

8. Loved this film....Mac Culkin was actually *good*. Who'd a thunk it!

[loudestchick]

4. Went to see "Million Dollar Baby." It is the *best* film of the year,

no doubt. I saw the spoilers here on Saturday...but still...an extrordinary film. Clint Eastwood is an amazing director.

[movie_girl99]

7. it was a great film

i cried so much in the last bit and even after leaving the theater.

[Robroy]

14. I agree loudestchick.

I thought Swank was great. Eastwood and Freeman worked well together. A good story, script, production and acting. I wouldn't be surprised to see this one pick up a lot of hardware.

17. I Agree It Was Great, But Also Loved The Aviator....

I want one of them to win best picture...

[loudestchick]

24. The Aviator was great...Kate Blanchet should win supporting.

[Scout]

37. agree

just saw The Aviator yesterday. Well done all around.

[MissMillie]

6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I really enjoyed it.

[loudestchick]

11. The writers deserve an Oscar for that film...It was definitely script

driven.

[giant_robot]

34. Great flick.

Definately one of the most unique love stories I've ever seen.

9. Rented Sky Captain & World of Tomorrow and Without A Paddle.

Both are decent rentals - glad I didn't spend the full ride in a theatre.

Sky Captain may be something I'd watch again.

[movie_girl99]

15. was w/out a paddle funny n/t

[stopbush]

27. Yes...not in a madcap way. It was more serious than I had expected.

Sort of a "guys come of age" effort. It avoided formula...it's a diversion.

[Joe Power]

10. Mayor of the Sunset Strip

Loved it.

[bif]

13. Analyze That

What a piece of shit that was. I want that 2 hours back, dammit!

[terrya]

16. I saw "Ray" and rented "Vanity Fair"

"Ray" was pretty decent. Jamie Foxx was superb.

"Vanity Fair" with Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp...directed by Mira Nair....good looking film. But it is so..so....so....so...borrrrrrring. I thought this film would NEVER end.

[Fenris]

20. Much like the novel "Vanity Fair"

:boring:

[sundog]

18. "Goodbye Lenin"

[MrScorpio]

19. This one is always a classic

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. nothing good, but something friggin awful

enjoy -

22. I had a very movie-heavy week...

Went to In Good Company. Good, not fabulous, but good.
Rented: Supersize Me (EEEEK!), Garden State (FABULOUS), and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (actually pretty funny)

[movie_girl99]

23. i liked

In good compnay...like you said not fabulous but good. Super Size me was great but scary. Garden State is right up there among my favs for 2004 along with Napoleon Dynamite. Haven't seen Harold & Kumar yet.

[giant_robot]

36. I rented Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle this weekend..,

Basically, it was just good, goofy fun. It's a little too far-out in some spots and a little too gross in others, but a good, funny movie overall.

[bikebloke]

25. Wilbur (Wants To Kill Himself)

A Scottish film made by Danes. Not bad, nor depressing.

[movie_girl99]

26. i looked it up

looks good. will try it this weekend. Cheers

[bobbobbins]

28. Saw Bad Education and Hotel Rwanda this weekend

both were phenominal, i highly recommend them both.

[rbnyc]

29. The Station Agent

We rented it. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life! It's a very efficiently written character study. It was very moving. And it inspired great conversation and affection between me and my husband after watching it. It did what great art is supposed to do--it connected us to our own lives.

Seriously awesome film.

[movie_girl99]

31. i saw it in the theater

was a great film. The little guy is awesome.

[captainslack]

30. Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood"

The Master's take on "Macbeth". Not to be missed!!!

[gpandas]

32. "friday night lights"...

it was merely fair; billy bob horribly miscast. as a former high school player, i suggest it is of limited interest to non-sports types.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

33. I watched Maria Full of Grace the other night

And it was really good.

It gets rather harrowing in parts. And the girl who plays Maria (don't remember her name) is fantastic.

[ImpeachBush]

35. Casablanca (1942) on the big screen ...

at the Classic Theater Festival in Athens, GA. After the viewing there was a live, on-stage interview by Robert Osborn with Ingrid Bergman's daughter. It was such an entertaining day ... Viewing Casablanca on the big screen, in the company of a packed theater was a unique experience.

[Beaverhausen]

38. Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite and In America

WOW!!! Three amazing films.

All three were highly recommended by very film sauvy DU members.

[Ramsey]

39. The Swimming Pool and Enigma

Both very interesting and thought-provoking films
