<p>The Lady Eve
Palm Beach Story
Fanny and Alexander
L’argent du poche (truffaut movie, american title ‘pocket money’)
Muriel’s Wedding

<p>Not many I watch over & over (I prefer reading while listening to music), but a few I’d like to mention:</p>
<p>Series: The Marx Brothers, Mel Brooks, pre-incest Woody Allen, early National Lampoon inspired such as Animal House, Caddyshack, etc. , The Godfather trilogy, Coen Brothers (particularly Raising Arizona-that I have seen many times & Fargo), Kevin Smith (Clerks is still my favorite), Bogart, Peter Sellers (especially Being There for the Kosinski connection)</p>
<p>Recent: Before Sunrise & Before Sunset (special because I watched this with my daughter before she left for college), Garden State (great music), Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, American Splendor, Sideways, Ghost World, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Old School, 40 year old virgin, Napolean Dynamite (my younger daughter’s favorite)</p>
<p>Fun thread with lots of great ideas.</p>
<p>Thought I’d share my favorite movie review sites:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.rottentomatoes.com/[/url]”>http://www.rottentomatoes.com/</a></p>
<p>This site was great when the kiddies were younger. They tell you everything!
<a href=“http://www.screenit.com/index1.html[/url]”>http://www.screenit.com/index1.html</a></p>
<p>Also, I’d like to recommend <a href=“http://www.imdb.com%5B/url%5D”>www.imdb.com</a> for everything/anything to do with films.</p>
<p>Katliamom: The American title of Truffaut’s “L’argent du poche” is “Small Change” – a rare instance when the translated title seems better to me than the original. I love that movie, too. The toddler falling out of the window, jumping up, and saying “Moi, j’ai fait BUM!” or something like that – just sensational! (And it wasn’t in the script – it was something that really happened during the filming.) And the Hollywood kiss at the end . . .</p>
<p>TheDad: Jamie Lee Curtis was in “Freaky Friday” with Lindsay Lohan, not “The Parent Trap” (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson, or at least one of the Quaids and one of the Richardsons, played the parents). Freaky Friday wasn’t bad, but it was no Parent Trap.</p>
<p>(Is anyone else as sad as I about Lindsay Lohan? I spent God knows how many hours over the decade 1995-2005 watching teenage-girl movies with my daughter – and I’m never going to be doing that again – so I have all these nuanced opinions about the acting abilities of all the girls who appeared in them. Lohan had – maybe still has – magical talent, but she seems intent on flushing it down the toilet.)</p>

<p>JHS - you’re right about the L’argent du poche title. I Didn’t know about the BUM… funny. That movie has so many priceless moments in it. I love the little girl who is left alone as punishment and then yells “j’ai faim, j’ai faim” to her neighbors: best way to mobilize the French! – boy, did she get the care package.</p>
<p>Oh, and didn’t Jamie Lee Curtis make a FABULOUS teen age girl in Freaky Friday?</p>
<p>I’ll try very hard not to repear previously mentioned titles (there were so many good ones!):</p>

<p>berurah~you’re on about getting together to see some movies!!! 
I love going, but don’t get to often enough, so watching them on cable is the affordable alternative!! And…I agree with you about Arlington Road–great movie, but not on here very often!</p>
<p>More for the list:</p>
<p>Fever Pitch (even though I’m a St. Louis Cardinal fan!)
Pride of the Yankees
A Hard Day’s Night
Father Goose (Cary Grant, Leslie Caron)</p>
<p>JHS…gah, you nailed my brain cramp. Yes, JLC was in “Freaky Friday,” which I still think was well done. I drive TheMom crazy wrt “The Parent Trap” by suggesting that I like “the British one better.”</p>
<p>I do think it’s sad about LL. Near as I can tell…I don’t read tabloids…she got seduced by the “Hollywood” lifestyle, much to her detriment. I live less than 10 miles from Ground Zero for all that stuff and I’d want to know about someone’s character before letting them go in that direction with my blessing. I’ve seen enough stage parents, enough sense of entitlement, enough “living in a bubble,” enough glitterati to come to believe that there are moral pitfalls abounding, moreso for the young and gullible.</p>

<p>LOL. They sure do. I never heard half the questionable language they did!</p>
<p>Full Metal Jacket
Pulp Fiction
All the Cheech and Chong Movies
Cool Hand Luke
Philadelphia</p>
<p>Am I really the only one that finds Harold and Maude a classic? Maybe it’s too much a cult film??? It was my college favorite for watching over and over. As an adult, it has been replaced by Benny and Joon.</p>
<p>I loved it at the time – saw it again some years ago and it holds up well, but not on my list of “see again and agains”.</p>
<p>Agree with so many, here’s a few more of my favorites</p>
<p>Broadway Danny Rose
Twelve Angry Men
Inherit the Wind
Crossing Delancy
Left Luggage (this film is a sleeper with an incedible cast Isabella Rosellini,
Maximillian Schell etc.) it is one of the most moving films I have ever seen
and will appeal to some of you.</p>
<p>From Here to Eternity
An Affair to Remember
Old Yeller</p>
<p>Forrest Gump. Love the soundtrack, love Tom Hanks. I never buy dvd’s but do own this one.</p>
<p>For Emily Watson fans, a few good ones…</p>
<p>Breaking the Waves
Hilary and Jackie (also with the wonderful Rachel Griffiths)
Gosford Park
Punch-Drunk Love</p>
<p>Also just watched The Verdict again…one of my faves.</p>
