YOUR TURN: Seen anything lately you would recommend?
LINKING TO: Thursday Thirteen
I've seen several on your list. And you've given me others to ponder. I watch a lot of documentaries but entertainment films, too.
ReplyDeleteI like a wide range of films from "Princess Bride" to "No Town for Old Men". The latter is one I'd like to recommend though it's a rather violent film. But if you've watched "Breaking Bad", you've seen some real drug terror. I couldn't get though "Breaking Bad".
The Lord of the Rings trilogy could probably count as 9 films! I watch the extended versions at least three times a year and can quote the dialogue almost word for word. I love those movies. The extended versions are a bit better than the theatrical release - adds a bit of depth. If you get a chance to watch the extended versions you might find it interesting to compare.
ReplyDeleteI loved While You Were Sleeping. Seems like ages ago.
ReplyDeleteZippi Kit: Thanks for weighing in!
ReplyDeleteAnita: At least 9 films, and I only watched the trilogy, not all the extra stuff. I don't know how I made it through these when I saw them in the theater -- I had to pause each at least once for a bathroom break! :-|
Alice: That's always a favorite of mine, and I always seem to watch it around Christmas (give or take a couple weeks, LOL).
I love your lists. They always give me something to consider or something to check out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI just recently saw Ant Man. It was better than I thought it would be.
Mia: Ant-Man had a lot of great one-liners. I just got a couple classic movie collections I can't wait to delve into.
ReplyDeleteJust watch Equals and liked it. Passengers was great. Love Science Fiction. Railway Man was great (not scifi).
