Right now, I've got a couple of Amazon gift cards sitting there and I haven't decided what to do with them. Or rather, I've decided that I should buy some movies, but I'm not sure what.
I got to see about half an hour of Pay It Forward
over the weekend, and I was intrigued enough that I'd like to see it again, so that's a given. (I like uplifting movies.)
When the movie was new, I thought about going to see Up
, but never got around to it. It stars the voice of Edward Asner. I met Mr. Asner's sister in January, and since then I've thought ... I should buy that DVD. (Although what one has to do wit the other ... is anyone's guess.)
I'm fascinated with time-travel stories(hmmm...it's a wonder I haven't read any time travel romances--there seem to be a lot of them around), and it's been years since I've seen The Final Countdown, so that's on the list, too.
I've thought about buying Ladyhawke
, since I seem to be collecting DVDs of the work of director Richard Donner, but I'm not sure. (If you've seen it, what did you think?)I figure I've got enough Amazon $$$ left for two more movies. I usually prefer comedies, but as you can see, I've got two (almost three) dramas on my wish list.
What older movies have you seen that you love ... that you think I'd love, too?
.
I loved Up. And Ladyhawke is one of my all time favorites. I cried during both of these. :-)
ReplyDeleteLadyhawke IS wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI also love Legends of the Fall...I could watch that over and over again. Pay It Forward was excellent, you won't be disappointed :)
Ladyhawke was a good movie, but I really enjoyed "Up." I caught about half of "Salt" at the salon the last time I was there and am determined to see it in its entirety.
ReplyDeleteHave to give a big second to both Legends of the Fall and Pay it Forward (make sure you have a box of tissues handy.)Also loved As Good as it Gets with Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson. Sweet and funny! Make sure you let us know which movies you chose and what you thought of them!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, get "UP." Wonderful movie & there is one scene involving the dog that I thought my hubby & I were going to hurt ourselves we laughed so hard when we saw it. Have a few hankies nearby, too, as it hits at the heartstrings, but all in all it is an absolutely marvelous movie. Has 4 thumbs up from Dean & me.
