Movies You've Watched This Week?

Hey All,

Since we all like to talk about movies so much, I figured I’d start a thread where we can discuss what movies we’ve watched recently. I’m not necessarily talking about newer films in the theater (since those tend to get their own threads anyway), but new releases on DVD or even older movies that you’ve finally gotten around to seeing.

I’ll get the ball rolling. Last week I watched the following:

Untraceable
Mad Money
The Great Debaters
Surf’s Up
You Kill Me
Gridiron Gang

For this week, I’ll be watching:

2 Days in Paris
Diary of the Dead
Strange Wilderness
High Tension

When I swap these out at Blockbuster, I know I’ll pick up National Treasure 2, but I’m not sure what else I’m going to grab yet.

Feel free to share and discuss…

2 Days in Paris? The Paris Hilton porno?

I saw Diary of the Dead, it was good.

Movies seen:

Red Belt. MMA fans should watch it. 10 times deeper than Never Back Down.

Since it doesn’t have its own thread, I saw Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Sunday evening. It was an all-around solid movie, and I’m a little surprised it earned a PG rating. While there wasn’t any blood except for one short scene, some of the shot angles made the violence a bit more graphic then I expected. I’m not complaining, just surprised.

Naturally all the previews were for kid movies, but now I’m really looking forward to “Wall-E” and “Igor”.

Oddly enough, ever since I got the PS3 two weeks ago (with Blu-Ray), I haven’t watched any DVDs. Go figure.

haha…I didn’t realize the similarity in the film name. 2 Days in Paris is a movie with Julie Delphy and Adam Goldberg.

I’m looking forward to Diary of the Dead. I’ve heard good things.

Watched ‘There Will be Blood’ Saturday night. Thought it was excellent. Daniel Day Lewis was intense. That character was scary yet utterly hilarious at times.

1st three Indiana Jones movies
Gladiator

That’s good to know. about Prince Caspian. I actually watched The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe again last week in anticipation for watching Prince Caspian over the weekend, but I ended up not going. I will see it see weekend though, along with Indy 4.

I had a similar experience when I first got my PS3. I didn’t watch anything on Blu-Ray for a while. Finally, my local Blockbuster started carrying Blu-Ray in store though, so now I rent them any time I can.

TWBB is one of my favorite movies now. Daniel Day Lewis was just unbelievable in it. I loved the soundtrack too. It was very eerie.

Meet the Robinson’s, twice
Star Wars V

My favorite movie of all time! Although my avatar and username might have tipped everyone off to that. :slight_smile:

Untraceable
Revolver
eurotrip

Apocalypto

Just watched Office Space last night and City of God a few days ago.

Since it’s only Tuesday, I’ counting last week, too.

Courtesy of Netflix, I watched Raging Bull, 12 Angry Men, Fantastic Four 2, and The Count of Monte Cristo. I have the Bourne trilogy waiting for me for this weekend.

…adds Raging Bull to my queue. You just made me realize that I’ve never watched that movie from beginning to end. I’ve only watched bits and pieces of it.

Both are great movies, but please don’t tell me it was the first time you’ve watched Office Space.

Netflix is great for that. There are so many “classics” I have never seen. In fact, I just saw The Godfather for the first time a few months ago.

I just re-watched The Faculty, because it was on Starz or something. I forgot how good the cast actually was, and that it was directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Great movie. Costco has it on DVD for $9.

That’s funny because I recently added the Godfather movies to queue as I had never seen them either. Despite watching a lot of movies, I’m always surprised at some the classic movies I’ve never seen.

I have about 330 movies in my queue at the moment and most of those are movies that are over 10 years old. Not they they are all classics, but just stuff I never got around to seeing.
