Please Recommend Movies!

Published on June 17, 2008 By momijiki In Movies & TV & Books

I need some movie titles. I go into the video shop and I can't really think of anything I want to see.

For the most part, if it is a new release, I probably already saw it in the movie theater.

What I am looking for is backlist! Something that is probably over a year old. Older than that is okay, too. It just has to be good.

Genres I like:

sci-fi

action

fantasy

comedy (not stupid stuff like American Pie and not Woody Allen-- I have actually asked for my money back with Allen movies)

thriller

documentary

romance (as long as it is not cheating couples or sexual weirdness posing as "art"--Thinking of "Unbearable Lightness of Being")

Drama (generally not a favorite but "Map of the Human Heart" was amazing but very sad)

Don't like so much:

westerns

artsy movies full of angst that explore the human condition and make you feel crappy

Another film he did was Stay in 2005, gonna look at getting the dvd for that also, has anyone else seen this? It got a good review on IMDB.

I really liked it myself.

From what I have heard from others who have watched it, your opinion of it will be determined on how good you are at keeping up with movies with an odd format. Myself I love movies like that. Some don't.

Another one I just thought of, because I WAS raised by a brother from the eighties, is the classic stoner comedy Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It's absolutely ridiculous, but lots of fun, especially if you were young in the eighties.

Ooh! The Evil Dead movies are great 'turn-your-brain-off-and-enjoy' movies as well. Just make sure you're in a mood where NOTHING can offend you.

I just saw the Pursuit of Happyness. It's sad until the very end, but very, very sweet. I enjoyed it.
