This is a poll. Enter through the Living Room.
I need the PPK to help me decide between the DVDs I picked up at the library. For reference, the three I haven't seen are Bride & Prejudice, Choke, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

I loved Tell No One. I thought it was a really well-done, suspenseful movie. I've seen The Royal Tenenbaums and Vicky Cristina Barcelona too, but I prefer Tell No One over those two.

Royal Tenenbaums is always good no matter what mood you're in. I kind of wanted to see Bride and Prejudice, I think, so maybe that one? I thought vicky cristina was ok, but not the best.

I voted Tell No One. Out of the three you haven't seen, I've only seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona... which I liked, but probably mostly because I have the hugest crush on Penelope Cruz and will watch anything she's in.

Let's just start by saying that I generally have a hard time staying focused enough to make it through an entire movie. That being said, I chose the second one because it appears to be foreign. Who doesn't like a good foreign film?

Bride and Prejudice was a complete waste of time. I found it insipid and dumb.

I really like Vicky Christina Barcelona. It may not be the best film in the world, but it's definitely fun to watch. Also, it makes me want to live a more European lifestyle and drink more wine.

choke isn't the greatest movie, especially if you've read the book.

I didn't like it. It made me cringe.

The Royal Tenenbaums. I haven't seen any of the others but it doesn't really matter because not much is better than The Royal Tenenbaums.

Thanks for the help: it looks like the classic Royal Tenenbaums won out. Now time to nestle in with a big bowel of popcorn and a comfy blanket.
