Good movie thread.

Saturday night my family squished together on the sofa and watched the incredibles. I can't think of a better animated movie since Toy Story. It's tough to produce a movie that a whole family can enjoy but this one easily accomplished that.

Dito the Incredibles. Animation continues to improve but the storys don't always follow suit...
Two of my all time favorites in the family film catagory (not animated though):
The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen" (Terry Gilliam's) and "Muppet Treasure Island"

I can't remember the last time we went to a movie, or even sat home and watched one.

Is that the one with full-frontal? I can't remember the actress' name, but she's famous. She's seen standing in a huge oyster shell or something. Great movie.

I saw a great movie for the family recently: Weeping Camel. Kinda sad at times, but a great ending and a great message for kids. Plus it's true.

Uma Thurman.
And I believe they show every bit of skin but for a few well placed strands of hair to clean it up. Her hair is quite long if I recall.
In the context of the scene and movie it doesn’t seem sexual or perverse. I would let my kids watch it without fear or embarrassment. After all she is playing the goddess of love.
It’s a great story well told with a message of men rising to wondrous impossibilities in the face of oppression and old age.

I like fantasy or over the top impossible action and adventure type of movies. I live life and don’t want to go to the movies to gain “life’s experience” and just want to be entertained. I saw the “Looney Tunes” movie last weekend. It was stupid, pointless and I liked it. Then again I liked Pulp Fiction too.

We just saw the incredibles as well and thought it was fantastic. Another one you can try is Napoleon Dynamite. My wife didn't get it but my 11 year old son thought it was hilarious. It's a good lovable loser movie.

If you like winter sports, check out Warren Miller’s Storm. It’s a massive hoot that’s both brilliantly shot and edited.

I spent the better part of summers watching Warren Miller videos as a teenager, he is probably one of the most gifted sports director/narrator/writer ever.


ditto's on pulp fiction too very trippy movie, I liked it the 50th time I watched it.

Regarding the Incredibiles Mrs. Incredible is HOT.

And the scenes with Mrs and Edna . . . priceless . . . "and it's machine washable, darling . . .as a bonus."

That Edna part was very creative

Loved the Incredibles. My 2 yr old wants to be a superhero now.

We watched 'Ray' last night. Long-assed movie, but worth watching, especially for a Brit like me that didn't grow up with Ray Charles. Had no idea he had such a big drug problem.

The next big one on our horizon is the feature length 'Wallace & Gromit' movie that Nick Parks is working on.....
