For me it ranges most every genre and which direction the wind blows my rudder. LOL Last night I watched Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and today watching Serenity, so today I would say sci-fi as the choice of topic. For humor it is tough to beat any of the comedies starring Cary Grant and for a Christmas movie by far the greatest is and will always be...Die Hard. Later tonight it will be The Ten Commandments seeing the holiday weekend.

That's quite a diverse range, you've got there KM- I too, sometimes like to substitute, or mirror / replicate, my choices of ~or selections based off "mood," or 'feel.' As they are so good at (either) amplifying such/or said; or countering it/them.

I've seen one of them. Kind of! (fell asleep; or "tuned-out,") during so more partial, shall we say? But I know it's a BIG HIT (& this is one reason 'Why,' I gave it such a try~*) / I do like, and admire your taste, however. And know there are many, many others, who would also have any one of those movies as listed in their top 3 / 5 / 10, etc. I'm wondering, sort of out-loud, now. . . If that is the order, in which you'd watch them (were you to, one evening or whenever, all at once, or as in: back to back to back?)? Maybe I'll have to try that~

The Hills Are Alive. .

 

[MisterBGone]

I just remembered another movie(s). Legally Blonde, and another movie with Reese Witherspoon with it: Just Like Heaven. It's a cheesy rom-com and it made me cry for some reason lol

On my watch list:
- Freeway (another Reese Witherspoon movie lol)
- Go (1999)

Oh, that was so popular! Wasn't there a second one, too? Or am I confusing it with another...

 

[MisterBGone]

My friend has a favorite scene...you probably like that one too

We know that you appreciate the character study of the female pro- or, I guess/suppose, it's "antagonist?" (is/or isn't it!) perhaps it depends on your perspective; in which case, I know which one it is for you~ hahaha...

 

[MisterBGone]

The Good Lie, Reese Witherspoon, this movie really touched my heart.

I have not heard of it, but will (now) have to check it out... Thanks @Lane ! : )

Thank you for opening and tagging me @MisterBGone and @cymbele . Itshard for me to remember a lot of the names of many of the names of the many of the movies that I've seen but any movies like Beetlejuice, The Bronxtale, the Breakfast club, anything from the 80's I luv 💓.

Those are all great, Lane!!! I too, luv the 80's! Even if, some film "people," tend to frown on the decade as a whole, over how its tone had shifted from that of the 70's & then later, 90's. Like they're not, as 'critically,' relevant, or serious or something. No Taxi Driver/Godfather, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction - etc. W-A-H.?!!!?. Cry me a Ri V Er~ (I loved them then, and I haven't seen many of them, since then in some cases; but none the less: I stand by my convictions!). Definitely had the best era of STARS, for me anyway! And like w/the music (maybe?) things were always, or often done -- OVER-THE-TOP!!!!! (which I can appreciate, as hard as that is/or may be, to believe~)* // Did you hear they're making a sequel to Beetlejuice? With Batman in it!

So I didn’t watch Friends when it was on TV. I don’t watch TV unless I get super hooked on a show like Wednesday or Breaking Bad. I have heard so much about how objectively good Friends was, like it is apparently a show where you don’t have to have any volume on to get the story, because the actors are that good at portraying emotions. I think I should watch it for the sake of cultural literacy since so many people consider it a favorite.

Also Family Guy is genius. You have to suspend your sensibilities a bit because it is so very crude, but it’s making fun of real things that happen today. I’m not easy to offend so I think it’s hilarious and it also causes me to take a look at some of my own cultural assumptions.

Yes, you raise some excellent points here! @LumberJack . . . & I've heard that/or the same thing - over or about, Family Guy, as well! I believe, that Mila Kunis voiced one of the characters (maybe?). Unless, I am confusing it w/another~ ('tis happened before) :^)

 

[MisterBGone]

I've seen EEAAO 15 times. Great movie.

Wow. It must be really good, @JDot ~more insight ful & electric commentary to come! haha

 

[MisterBGone]

I think Lego Batman was pretty awesome 👍
I also liked how silly Free Guy was!

I had forgotten all about that one @lovelydevon ~& I must admit, from the promos/commercials, it looked entertaining as can be!

 

[MisterBGone]

Despicable Me is so fun! I love it. I feel like it ended up getting a bit of a bad reputation because of how popular and widespread the Minions got, unfortunately. And maybe too many sequels. But the first one was great.

LOVE MEAN GIRLS! Used to watch that all the time when I was younger. The other week at my work at the crisis center, I was sitting back with the adolescents, and they had it on. I couldn't see the TV from where I was sitting, but I could hear it, and it made me smile.
I've never seen the new movie musical that just came out, but the guy who played Damian in the new one went to my college, in the highly-ranked musical theatre program.

I bet it's pretty good (the musical). I used to work with some students years ago, and this was when I was (still) in college, so they were in middle & high school then. And anyway, some of them, especially those in junior high, spoke of that film as if it was their Bible~ Same thing w/Titanic. But that may have been, for other reasons: (another one, on my "to watch," list)~

Yes there was a Legally Blonde 2, but as far as I can remember it wasn't as good as the first one. Nobody barely remembers it

HaHaHa... That's never a good sign!

Yes hadn't thought much of order actually....but yes that's the order would watch them in...

The Jean de Florette, Manon of the Spring duology is a masterpiece. Kontrol*, City of God, and Man of the Year* are all very good movies (* warning, while these are well-made films, they have some very un-PC elements). I think all of these are subtitled too.

Koyaanisqatsi is also a masterpiece. You have to like arty-art movies to like it though, it's all stunning cinematography and the Philip Glass soundtrack, no dialogue, characters, or plot, yet it manages to tell a story, or at least make a point.

Kundun is a good English language movie that you can see free without ads on youtube (Martin Scorsese directed it, btw).

just got a little tripped up, with a hiccup, on the day/date; mid-stride, so to speak!

This sounds like a rap.

Got a little tripped up

Hommie I'm mid-stride with my ride cause I'm fly and it's tricked up

Thanks for the recommendations. I’m quite fond of the artsy films (usually foreign), but I don’t know of too many. My favorite of the moment is Cabaret.
