Santi said on December 3, 2002 14:44:
I don’t know much about movies, so the ones I liked the most were: “Shrek”, “Ladybird, Ladybird”, “Jalla Jalla” (svedish movie) and “Por fin solos” (Spanish movie). I like to laugh :DDD
StillFar said on December 3, 2002 14:48:
Santi, what’s ’por fin solos’ about?
there is this great spanish director, Pedro Almodovar, his movies are amazing!
Santi said on December 3, 2002 14:54:
It’s about a family, the sons and daughter are pretty grown up but they still live in their parents home. But the parents are pretty fed up of them, so they start a plan to make them go away. And they say they start “Independence war” :D
It’s pretty funny, in the end they make the son prefer to live alone (cause parent’s home is not a “hotel” anymore for them) :P It’s a very good comedy, for me anyway :) “Por fin solos” means “Finally alone”.
The one you say is Pedro Almodóvar... or as our well known Penélope Cruz would say in the oscars: “Pedroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” :DDDDDDDDDD
There are very good directors in Spanish, but I don’t know anything about cinema. Right now I remember Almodóvar, Alejandro Amenábar, Santiago Segura... euh... ok, there are a lot more but cinema is not my business definitely :DDD
Nefatari said on December 3, 2002 15:08:
I really love The Matrix, 6th Sense, As Good as it Gets ...
StillFar said on December 3, 2002 15:10:
thanx for the info, will check if I can find ’Por fin solos’!
Vixzter said on December 3, 2002 17:38:
Gladiator/Matrix/Terminator 2 - are the best I’ve ever seen.
The new James Bond ’Die Another Day’ is great too....although a little far fetched ... still damn good fun ;)
as for favourite movie.....any Star Wars epic will do me ;)
shama said on December 4, 2002 09:12:

Pretty Woman ;), Forest Gump, Fucking Åmål
ixtlaner said on December 5, 2002 16:05:
Super Mario Bros – actually, it IS a nice movie, IMHO!! Maybe cos when I watched it I was prepared to see something very very dull.... well, I did like it!!
Other nice movies for me (as a non-movie-freak)
LOTR, The Matrix (they don’t know how close they might be to the truth with that story!!), The English Patient, Robin Hood (Men in Tights) –> a great comedy!
nedved said on December 5, 2002 17:51:
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Chocolat
Boys don’t cry (I really cried watching it)
Majdy said on December 9, 2002 03:56:
boys don’t cry.... that’s my favourite too! Hilary Swank did really well!
the movie was about a gir who has sexual identity crsis... the saddest movie I ever watch....
Majdy said on December 9, 2002 03:57:
hey shama, I like Philadelphia too! because it has Tom Hanks, and he was my favourite actor for all time! best of the best!
Anyone here like “Cast Away” ?
ixtlaner said on December 18, 2002 15:59:
Here’s another fantastic comedy, but it’s Russian and I guess not many of you can ever get to see it. It’s name is something like “Peculiarities of Russian National Fishing”. (They’re gonna show it on TV again soon :)))
HASMAD said on December 27, 2002 20:29:
I love all films directed by Alejandro Amenábar, a Spanish director: “Tesis”, “Abre los ojos” (the originally “Vanilla Sky”) and “Los otros” (“The others”).
The Lord of rings was my favourite book, so it’s one of my fav films.

I love Disney movies :)
clerk said on January 16, 2003 10:35:
I agree, I think it’s stupid that some people think that animated movies are for kids only. I like Disney aswell, especially Beauty & the Beast and Hunchback of Notre dame. Monsters Inc. was also great!

Empire Records

Singles
Waynes World
Reality Bites
Say Anything
Frailty
Flat Liners
obviously I am sorta stuck in the 90’s with my taste of music and movies...
tcooh said on August 17, 2003 02:42:
A few, mostly of the same kind:
- My left foot
- In The Name Of The Father
- Schindler’s List
- Lord Of The Rings
- James Bond (whole series)
Also, Moulin Rouge really surprised me, and kind of got to me, at least thinking of the music. But the romantic mood, superb music, and Nicole Kidman made this pretty special. Besides Lizzie McGuire is a superb character, and I really like Hilary Duff playing her.
havoncruise said on August 25, 2003 07:14:
Mulholland Drive, Identity, Down With Love, Terminator 3 and Donnie Darko.
helle18 said on August 26, 2003 06:29:
Dirty Dancing and Grease! Lately also “About a boy”, Hugh is so good looking, and the story is so sweet. Swedish favourite movies are “Tillsammans” och “Lust och fägring stor”.

xuxa: I never got American Beauty. Don’t know why. Although I love movies Kevin Spacy places in. They suspend you all the way till the end. Usual Suspects and K-Pax were awesome.

The Matrix. 6th sense. Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc, if you prefer in English). Vanilla Sky. hmmmff... I can’t decide.
