Killing Them Softly. There was one part that was surprisingly violent and a little hard to watch but the movie as a whole was great. I thought it was kinda different.

The Hobbit. I would stare at the scenery for hours. And the music, wow. I really enjoyed it- the two and a half hours go by like nothing.

Impressive. I've seen about half (assuming you mean the 100 Years 100 Movies list)... Schindler's List is one of those I have seen. First saw it in school way back when, actually.

On the topic of WWII movies I agree with rachell37 that Der Untergang (Downfall) is worth watching.

yeah, I have about 4 left, trying to finish by the end of the year. Bridge over River Qwai(sp?) is next

Funnily enough The Bridge on the River Kwai is another one that I have seen. Good luck with finishing your list!

The Hunger Games. Took me 3 attempts to watch it without falling asleep. I thought it was pretty much a major snooze fest.

The Hobbit. LOVED! The riddles in the dark scene is just the best. Easily my favorite movie of the year.

The Iron Lady - It was alright. One of the plot points got a little tiresome towards the end. Also, screw you for making me sympathise with Margaret Thatcher!

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on it as well. Also, the scenery was gorgeous and I would love to be able to look out my window and see something like that.

MIB3-Kinda silly but overall enjoyable. It was what I needed to watch but I sorta wish it was longer.

Since everyone was talking about it, I watched Downfall. It was good! I didn't like that they called Hitler a vegetarian TWICE, tho. And I wish the Fuhrerbunker wasn't demolished because that movie really made me want to walk it's halls. I can understand why Berliners might not want that constant reminder, though.

It's Barbara Stanwyck month on TCM. Saw Double Indemnity (this is a good one for lubi if she hasn't seen it already--excellent film noir) and Sorry, Wrong Number--both really enjoyable flicks.

I just re-watched Stalker the other night and now I kind of just want to watch all of Tarkovsky's films in one glorious go with a big cup of Russian misery..

Bladerunner, because once again, it was on the list!

Cloud Atlas

So incredibly good. I was so impressed, entertained, I cried, I laughed. Need to watch again. The 3 hours just flew by.

Persona, an Ingmar Bergman film. I enjoyed it

A couple very good films by director Lee Yoon-ki: My Dear Enemy (Meotjin haru, lit. One Fine Day) and Come Rain, Come Shine (Saranghanda, saranghaji anneunda, lit. I Love You, I Love You Not).

Magic Mike, I thought it would be a fun movie, but they tried to give it a story line
The Invisible War, a great doc. about rape in the military. It was nominated for an academy award, so I try to see as many as I can.
Beware of Mr. Baker(at the theater, not dvd), a rock doc. about Ginger Baker, the drummer from Cream. Great doc!

they did? I must have missed that. I was distracted by the pretty.

Just watched Red State. It was alright.

I watched Ted the other night. I thought it was funny.

Love Child · **Posted:** Sat Feb 02, 2013 10:44 am

The perks of being a wallflower. Liked it.

I watched Dark Shadows last night. Oh I wish I had that time back. I really love Tim Burton but this movie was just boring. Not his best.

I watched this a few days ago and thought it was funny. Though I think I liked it *much* better than my husband.

rachell37 · **Posted:** Sat Feb 02, 2013 5:18 pm

The Descendants - I liked it.

2 Days in New York - lots of french people yelling in an entertaining way and chris rock was great.

rachell37 · **Posted:** Sun Feb 03, 2013 9:31 am

Delicacy (La Délicatesse) - Sweet but sad. I really liked it. I figured I would because it has Audrey Tautou and I'll watch her in just about anything.

Love Child · **Posted:** Sun Feb 03, 2013 2:07 pm

Les Misérables. Started feeling really miserable around "I dreamed a dream" and then I fell asleep.
