In honor of the anniversary of Elvis' death, we just watched Bubba Ho-Tep.
I still like it!

What the hell is Bubba Ho-Tep?

I like "Girls, girls, girls".....merely because at the slightest mention of the word "girls" he goes into a big rendition of that stupid song. After about the sixth time it just becomes a joke.

Elderly Elvis and black JFK fight an evil mummy.

Rent it. I know this isn't saying much but it's Bruce Campbell's finest performance.

I see that earlier I listed French Kiss as a movie to see. I realize this was a dreadful mistake, and I would not recommend that anyone EVER goes to see Meg Ryan or Kevin Kline in a film.

I meant French Twist, 1995 by Josiane Balasko. A dramatically superior film that is funny and sexy and fantastic.

From Dusk till Dawn... ha ha ha. I know it's 1/2 Tarantino flick, 1/2 schlocky vampire movie but I loved it. Clooney was great and it was my first glimpse of Salma Hayek.

OK, i am childish.

Chicken run is a Mel Gibson film? i thought it was full of plasticine chickens? :? the one with the chickens in was good, and so was Flushed Away, feauturing plasticine rats. and of course, Shrek. the 3rd one wasnt so good though

Kill Bill 1 i like as its redicullously bloody, and Reservoir Dogs too.

the Green Mile

there is a great samuri film we saw at the local arts cinema, all in japanese - we bought it and lent it to a friend.....and now i cant remeber the name. its about a blind samuri fighter and is much more than just blood

i enyoyed Judge Dredd, and the last Bond film.

you lot are all so much more cultured than me :roll:

How did I miss Kill Bill 1&2 when I was going through my movie list?
I love those movies!

I really liked Reservoir Dogs, but it's the only Tarantino film I've enjoyed.

I've been trying to grow them in a glass frame but have been plagued by whitespot. I rented the movie but it has no helpful information.
