* We will not include our "All-Time" Faves on this list. * True lies has a great storyline/plot. It's not hard to imagine this really happening. Undercover agent finds out his wife is cheating on him, and uses the latest technology and techniques to find the object of her affections. And from there, the whole family gets involved in this thriller about international espionage. IMBD Netflix Amazon |

Bill Murray is stuck in an endless day. Kind of like what we all go through everyday: the same routine year in and year out.
In the end, he finds a way to break free from the daily rerun.

The Abyss has a great setting: deep in the ocean below a raging hurricane.The action, and the characters
seem so mundane, it is difficult to realize the actors are that talented.Who are they ?
The surprise ending was always a treat.

I was in the theatre, watching Batman and Robin. All through the movie, I could hear the sound of Contact playing in
the theatre next door. It was something I looked forward to seeing. The beginning is sweet, the middle is encouraging,
and the climax is when the message from afar is heard.The ending kind of sucks, but that does not hurt the movie.

The beginning has a print out which states that this never officially happened. Even if it did,
who would ever make a movie out of it ? The movie packs just enough star-power to bring a quality
unmatched in most 'cold war' thrillers. It's great that the movie focuses on the characters and the
relationships between them, more than the war aspect of the film.

This movie probably has the highest rating I have seen on IMDB = 8.9 . There is just an 'ultra' cool feel about this film;
from the story, the characters, the actors, and even how the film was put together.

The movie was so big, for a long time. we rarely paid attention.Lately, it is one of our favorites.
Welcome to the real (world). Neo is out to learn the truth, and maybe he isn't ready for it.
That doesn't stop him, on his destiny to be the 'one'.

It's one of those apocalyptic movies, and you wonder why you watch. Brad Pitt is so funny.
Bruce Willis has the skills to carry this movie to greatness. The story, and the characters are
brilliant.

Surfer movies have never been quite this adventurous before. This is so west coast, so cultured and fine,
that we just watched it over and over for a long time.It was probably the second VHS tape I ever paid for,
long before DVD came to exist. The violence is watered down nicely, and the rock n roll attitude is awesome.

If you have ever been on a 'watch' or live in tornado alley, this movie is a must see.
Watch as even the experts get a lesson in the destructive capabilities of a tornado.

The Jackal probably doesn't make anyone elses list of favorites. As seen in theatre, it was great.
The main character is so far from our daily world,that we kind of soak up his lifestyle.
The music in this film was probably the best energy in any film of the 1990s. Period.
I still love to hear those songs.

The Saint is one of the movies we just loved. More than any critic would ever give it a thumbs up,
Val Kilmer fills this role with ease. Elizabeth Shue is/was the Jennifer in the Back to the Future movies.
And she looks devine in this film. I don't remember what the original Saint was like. This is all I need.

The unlikely combination of Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock created a unique story: a future society
without violence ? It's almost like the 'good guy bad/guy routine' and well, neither one is winning. In many ways,
the future could turn out just this way.

Any movie featuring Jack Nicholson as president has to be funny.Throw in Danny Devito,Tom Jones, Natalie Portman,
Michael J Fox, Martin Short, and this star-studded affair takes flight. The martians are just like little spoiled
children, and maybe they have the last laugh. But they're not taking planet earth today.

Independence Day was one of those movies we just couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD.
After he did Bad Boys, anything Will Smith touched would be great. The cast, characters, and the story are solid.
The focus on the relationships between characters is touching home.

I guess you could watch this movie, and not see anything great in it.
We died laughing,at Joe Pesci and Macaulay. We have never seen the first one, didn't like the third.
Home alone 2 is fun to watch any time of year. Judging by the prices for this movie, we're not alone.

This movie is not my usual fare. Sarah Michelle Gellar is fabulous in her role. The magic, and the setting
are so romantic. We were overwhelmed with admiration for Sarah. She was either born for that role, or had
it written about her. Amazing . The critics didn't like it much,so you will rarely see this one on a list.

We were attending the movie theatre at least once per week in 1997. This one we saw the preview, and it
seemed like a good situational comedy. And, it has Alicia Silverstone. What more do you need ?
This is another movie critics didn't rate highly, maybe they don't like these cute women acting.
Well, can she act? She did the spoiled brat part pretty well. Later, she made a Batman. That's not bad.

You probably think I forgot some good movies..after all, Speed 2 was a definite flop. But picture it:
Two people, take a romantic cruise, to get away from their normal lives. And then the action begins.
Ah, skip it. We love the music in this film. It makes for great background music.
IMDB Netflix Amazon |
 |
Once again, the music is fine. The sequel is not even close to being popular, like the first weekend at Bernies.
Same Bernie, same Larry and Richard. Ah, but we go to the Caribbean . And life is good, mon. I still enjoy watching it.
And after thinking about it, I want to watch it right now.
