dvds i just procurred

The Cheshire Cat 2004-03-21 16:22:56 ET 1. Schindler's List 2. Forrest Gump 3. The Sting 4. The Great Escape Next I wanna get Lost In Translation, I Am Sam (haven't seen either of them), and Mystic River. I love movies. But only good ones. I really don't have the patience to sit and watch a dumb movie. At least not lately.

shadowplay87 2004-03-21 16:27:34 ET Meh, I Am Sam wasn't all that good in my opinion.

The Cheshire Cat 2004-03-21 16:32:52 ET no? I'm on a bit of a Sean Penn kick, so I thought if I found it used I'd pick it up.

shadowplay87 2004-03-21 16:34:32 ET Sean Penn is good in the movie, its just the movie is a bit weak. It's like, a movie made as an excuse to try and get him nominated for an Oscar, lol.

The Cheshire Cat 2004-03-21 16:35:50 ET aha... Maybe I'll just rent it and see if I like it enough to own. Thanks for the heads-up!

Wasted Youth 2004-03-21 16:53:02 ET i am sam is sad. and i am in love with lost in translation.

Mark My Words 2004-03-21 16:57:53 ET I've only seen Schindler's List out of all those movies, but I hear good things about the rest. As far as I am Sam goes, I've heard both extremes from friends.

The Cheshire Cat 2004-03-21 17:00:17 ET The Sting is a little tough to follow, but well worth it for the ending. It won 7 Oscars including Best Picture in 1973.

Mark My Words 2004-03-21 17:01:11 ET My best friend's dad told me all about that one a few years back. He is big on collecting movies as well. Anything difficult to follow, or head-fucks were sure to be in his collection. It was always fun watching movies there.

shadowplay87 2004-03-21 17:07:18 ET Do you have "The Elephant Man"? If you buy one movie in your entire lifetime, let it be that one.

Neko2631 2004-03-22 07:47:07 ET What is I Am Sam? Because it sounds really familiar.

Mark My Words 2004-03-22 08:03:15 ET Its a movie about a man who is mentally handicapped (is that even politically correct to say anymore?)

Neko2631 2004-03-22 08:57:57 ET And he has a daughter? Yes, I believe I did see that one. ^^

Xander 2004-03-22 10:34:30 ET well how about 21 grams? that another tough movie to follow. Plus it got Sean penn in as well. I just watched that last night.

The Cheshire Cat 2004-03-22 14:07:24 ET Yeah, I definitely want to see 21 Grams.

Wasted Youth 2004-03-22 14:23:29 ET its at the art film festival here in townm last showing is tonight. gah!
