Anyone who watches Searching for Bobby Fisher and doesn't like it has no taste in movies! That also goes for Gross Pointe Blank. Here's my list...

1. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
2. Don Juan de Marco
3. Hook
4. Meet Joe Black
5. Beautiful Girls
6. Island of Dr. Moreau
7. Magnolia
8. Closer
9. Frailty
10. Lost Highway

Another interesting list would be movies that everyone else seems to love but you HATE:)

A lot of people I know love lost highway.

I may have some renting ahead of me yet.

Oh man...Lost Highway is perfectly warped and frightening...Robert Blake in his best role ever.

Magnolia and Frailty were amazing movies. Nice to see someone else who liked them.

The only people who don't like Harold and Maude or The Warriors are just hopelessly square, far as I'm concerned..

ideastorm May 12 2005, 04:51:36 UTC

I am going to show your comment to a friend I have that thinks he's fellini.

posteverything May 12 2005, 04:57:25 UTC

Uh oh. :(

No problem, he's pretty civilized just outrageously judgmental when it comes to film and he HATED the warriors. I have never seen a fan of film who didn't find SOMETHING to appreiciate there, but you can't please them all. Perhaps he was on medication when he saw it or something.

Not sure.

Oh I loved Grosse Pointe Blank thats a cult classic.

Searching for Bobby Fisher was ok.

Harold and Maude? really?

ideastorm May 12 2005, 13:59:43 UTC

How can you not like H + M?

The soundtrack alone is worth the rental fee.

1. A Hazard of Hearts
2. The Ghost and Mrs Muir
3. Grease 2
4. Mrs Winterbourne
5. Under the Tuscan Sun
6. Der Wixxer
7. Down with Love
8. The Butchers Wife
9. Room with a View
10. The Matchmaker

And I also *heart* Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and Meet Joe Black

I think I saw the ghost and Mrs.Muir when I was young but I don't really remmeber it now, I'll have to see that one again.

What is Der Wixxer? and what is it about?

It's a German movie.. a parody of other German movies. Of ancient black and white Edgar Wallace thrillers to be precise. I think it's hilarious. But it's highly unlikely that you will find a dubbed or at least subtitled version.

If you like I give you a short synopsis of the movie

ideastorm May 14 2005, 17:09:27 UTC

That sounds very intriguing. I don't use or have any credit cards (I don't believe in them)or I would get it online, if I find it here in Canada, I will definitely see it. I love a sharp-witted original film, anytime.
