BritishPickle Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 This is the first time I have posted on this forum....... Perhaps it is somewhat telling that I was compelled to speak by a conversation about films and not by a conversation regarding the finer points of application forms and GRE scores! I do want to Grad School, I just don't want to talk about it anymore!!! I love Lars and the Real Girl and think everyone should see it. (I've seen it a hundred times and still cry at the demise of the leading lady...) Airplane is the funniest film ever made. Objective fact. ('Surely you can't be serious?' 'I am serious, and don't call me Shirley') Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned) Stranger than Fiction Atonement (and yes, I love the book too..)

TheDude Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I second Gomorrah. If you dig mob movies this is the best. I still need to see Cache too. It's been in my Netflix Que forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopetoI/O Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have been watching the tv show Damages on netflix. I like this sort of thing it is not for everyone its pretty dry. Movies I like to look up different "greatest or best of" and watch them all like the best sci fi movies of all time etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnsworth Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) This was a tv show, but it played movies. Anyway, can't believe this has not been mentioned yet (maybe it has and I did not notice it). Anyway... MST3K. Dazed and Confused is another great one. Dawn of the Dead (George Romero version) and Zombieland are really good too. Edited March 23, 2011 by farnsworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkayforNow Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 1. Firefly 2. Serenity 3. That 70's Show 4. The Mighty Boosh and, pretty much anything on the History Channel, the Science Channel, and National Geographic I deal with my stress by watching television so I have watched a lot lately.

beanbagchairs Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The big bang theory helps me through the application process.... It's too bad that I am not considering caltech for grad school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie42 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 1. Buffy/Angel 2. Firefly 3. Six Feet Under 4. Avatar: The Last Airbender (cartoon but SO good) 5. Battlestar Galactica Those are my top 5, but if you're just looking for Potato Chip shows (you can't watch just one....), I'd recommend Dexter, Bones, True Blood and maybe Fringe. I've heard that's good but I haven't watched it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moralresearcher Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Movies: Stranger than Fiction- amazing. And the part about the "flours" is the single sweetest, most romantic things I've ever seen in a movie, plus, what's not to love about Maggie Gyllenhall? Stardust- Robert DeNiro as a cross-dressing pirate. Michelle Pfiefer as a stalker witch. Claire Danes as a star. It's amazing. 10 Things I Hate about You- "I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby." "I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you just be whelmed?" A Knight's Tale- brilliant. Hilarious. And gives me hope that I can "change my stars." Adjustment Bureau- much, much better than I was expecting. Anything by Disney/Pixar. Princess Bride- Best. Movie. Ever. Made. How this hasn't been mentioned yet is beyond me. TV Jack and Bobby- 1 season story about 2 sons of a history professor, one of whom grows up to be president. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip- witty, fast-paced Aaron Sorkin series about an SNL-type late-night comedy sketch show starring Matt Perry (love!) that was unfortunately too intelligent for the average prime-time audience and only lasted one season. Castle- terribly witty crime drama about an author who follows around a hot cop in NYC to get ideas for his next crime thriller. Glee- well, duh. Big Bang Theory- makes me laugh out loud all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal83 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) The Godfather trilogy...holy mackerel now that's a way to escape. God I love it. The Office House Andy Garcia movies...this man has helped me remain almost sane throughout the application and waiting processes.

hopelesslypostmodern Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm just waiting for Twin Peaks to be released on Netflix's instant viewing in April (or rather May, when I'm finished with my honor's thesis and have time to watch). I will be set with two seasons of delightful David Lynch goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
