So, the move into the new house is going okay. Parents are getting really worried about time, but I'm not.

Who else knows the movie "The Cutting Edge"? I just love and adore that movie. It's hard to explain, it's hardly the BEST MOVIE EVAR. But it's great. Kind of like "America's Sweethearts", I love it, but it's not some great Oscar-winning ( Read more... )

I know the movie Cutting Edge. And yes...not Oscar material...but a really sweet fun movie to watch. I used to have it on tape but alas...the VCR finally ate it. I'll have to look for it on DVD. Yeah...good movie.

What type of movies do you like...looks like comedies? are favorites? Anything else? I'm more of a drama and/or action adventure person myself. Although I love musicals.

I'm with you...I want BSG back sooner rather than later. October?? Way too far away.

Oh, I like pretty much any type of movie except for horror or anything scary. Except, I love "Poltergeist". There are many musicals that I adore, dramas, I really like action adventure. Some romances are okay, but not too sappy, if you know what I mean?

My two fave favorite movies just happen to be comedies though.

OCTOBER!!! Although, from the sounds of it, it's still going to be split into two halves, and we'll get some kind of break between them, which doesn't seem fair!

Soapdish! There's a blast from the past. If you like that, you might want to check out My Favorite Year. It's another behind-the-scenes, sweet, funny movie. It's one of my "heartwarming, when I'm in the mood for fun," movies, along with Without a Clue (Watson was the brains behind Sherlock Holmes, with Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine), and Wilder Napalm, a very weird but sweet little movie (written by one of the X-Files writers and directed by the guy who did Moonlighting and Medium). Have you ever seen Truly, Madly, Deeply?

FINALLY! Somebody knows of Soapdish! I haven't heard of the other movies you name, but I'll be sure to check them out.]

I haven't seen it, but I'm sure I've heard of Truly, Madly, Deeply.

Enjoying the new house? Conquered the stairs yet?

FINALLY! Somebody knows of Soapdish!

Kevin Kline and Whoopi Goldberg? How could I not watch that? I know WG made a lot of silly movies, but one of my other fond favourites is Jumping Jack Flash. I just love that last scene with Jonathan Pryce - speaking of whom, I did a little blurb on De-Lovely on my LJ after watching it last week while chatting to you about Kevin Kline. Here's an obscure Kevin Kline movie: have you seen Violets Are Blue?

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a wonderful movie (Alan Rickman, Juliet Stevenson, and Bill Paterson - you really can't lose with a cast like that). But it'll make you cry. I think the only thing I've ever cried as much for was Parting of the Ways!

The new house is wonderful, and the stairs are fine when I'm not carrying boxes up them.

Aw, I love Whoopi Goldberg. She's wonderful in that movie. But it has so many others as well. Violets Are Blue is new to me. It's funny, with my friends I always name movies that they don't know, now, on LJ, people name movies that I don't know and that's sad because I am a sad movie-knower. I know of too many movies for my own good.

I wouldn't be surprised if Truly, Madly, Deeply made me cry. I'm easy to get to in terms of emotions, I cry very easily when it comes to sad moments, especially death, if done right.

(Otherwise I don't take it as seriously, or laugh like I did at Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, although to be fair, I was young and had a huge crush on him and my friend and I were yelling at the screen for him to push Kate Winslet off the raft and put himself on, I've yet to figure out what was wrong with us)

'Cutting Edge' is one of my full-out guilty pleasure movies (right around 'The Last Starfighter' and only slightly below the surprisingly sweet 'Drop Dead Fred ( ... )

meganlynn09 June 26 2006, 23:19:45 UTC

YAY! Someone else knows and likes Drop Dead Fred! I have adored that movie forever, since I saw it when I was little.

Thanks for the movie recs, I'll be sure to look in on them. It's so wonderful to find new gems.

My dad really wanted to see Hellboy and I wasn't really going to, but I went with him and I was really surprised that I enjoyed it. It was good, and I'm glad that others liked it. Nice to hear they did well in comparison to the comics.

And yeah, completely agree about The Iron Giant. My dad and I love it.

Thanks for your lovely suggestions!
