* We will not include our "All-Time" Faves on this list. * This is the amazing story of WWI soldiers from Germany,France, and Ireland getting together for a Christmas celebration. It's starts out as a truce to recover bodies. They end up playing soccer, and exchanging yule tidings. When it's over, some of these people will be punished. By people who weren't there,on the front line. IMBD Netflix Amazon |

Adrien Brody portrays a Jewish man living in Nazi Germany through WWII . This film includes every horror you ever
heard about war . The fact that he almost gets shot as a German at the end is fabulous. Not that he should have died,
just the touch of reality was a great look at the world back then.

Maybe I'm always talking about good music,and rock n roll attitude in movies. Well ,this one carries the
philosophy a step farther. This movie about a 1970s band on the verge of infamy is great.
Being followed around on their adventures by groupies, and a young reporter , the reality of touring
gets covered up by the inter-personal relationships. The characters are slightly overblown for the
seventies, but the situations and the sets are pretty cool.

This is one spooky movie. We watched it several times on HBO. And then,when it was not on, we craved to see it again.
This is a great remake of the original 1950s movie. The scenes, the acting, is beyond comparison to most of
my horror favorites. In a good way. Add in all the modern touches, and the film is complete.

Ah yes, Godzilla is still being filmed ! Is there anything more Japanese in american culture ?
This is one of the best Godzilla films ever. Gone are the days when you could see a guy in a rubber suit
wading in the water. The effects are good . Godzilla has endured a few make-overs in his career, and now
he looks more like the savage beast who you think of.

This is not my typical movie, but after watching it several times, it is wonderful. A pair of kids create a fantastic playworld where thay can escape the pressures of home and school. It's a very watered down look at adolesence that fulfills its purpose. So many great things happen; from sheer joy of friendship to tragedy. IMDB Netflix Amazon |

Nochnoi Dozor, or Night Watch if you prefer.
The cinema in this film is great. We prefer to hear it in Russian. It's not hard to understand.
Good versus evil, light vs dark . Nochnoi Dozor is the first of the Night Watch trilogy.

Signs -
What I like best are the relationships between the characters, and the over-used
'alien invasion' plot .This time, the aliens are more vulnerable than most movies.
And we are not burdened with watching a bunch of special effects.

This is not my typical movie. Charlie Sheen has been a curious favorite since 'The Arrival' .
The surprise is Angie Harmon. She carries on as the woman in charge, with a steamy-sultry look.
You can't forget the other characters, going about their business like professional actors.
There is lots of talent there. Not much happened, but the movie is fine.

This movie brings together a great cast of: Marlo Thomas, Elliot Gould, Alicia Witt, and Brooke Langton.
The peculiar circumstances of Claire Goldsteens life just get weirder. Lucky for Claire, she has Sabrina to
help with her social life. The original title was Two Goldsteins on Acid . It's good.

We just happened upon this movie on Sundance . Not being familiar with Chinese culture, it was interesting.
Two sisters discover Jesus Christ, and do their best to understand their new religion. Things aren't all
fun and games though, as their family endures several challenges along the way.All ends well.

Grindhouse presents Planet Terror -
Start with the film itself: this movie looks different on screen. Any screen . The scenes in the hospital are weird.
And it gets even better. The theme song is rockin' , and so is the movie. I am watching it right now.
Rose McGowan is awesome here. Barbeque , anyone ?

This movie is plain 'over the top' fun . 100% . What a setting: an Elvis convention in Las Vegas.
Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell packed this movie with insight and action. Throw in Courtney Cox,
as the lonely(?) mother helping out a stranger. Then, she decides to help herself. To the stolen money.
Maybe the critics didn't like the reality .

When Xavier finds a tough housing market in Barcelona, he rooms up with other four students from his exchange school.
The combination of language and culture clash take thier toll on the group. But everything works out okay.
It's not a bad story.

Everyone knows wrestling is fake. Okay, so why do these guys care the least when their hero
gets banished from the league ? This movie just captures the action of sport without all the
hype and trash talk. It's funny, it's entertaining. It was not popular with the critics.
Do you call these guys actors ? No, but they are decent comedians. And well, that's enough.

Here is another film that matches the macabre feel of Beetlejuice . Brendan Fraser gets our attention with
The Mummy , and Bridget Fonda has been a hotty(in our minds,at least) since Point of No Return.
Add them together, and you get the story of a monkey going ape for Stus girlfriend. Too bad Stu is dead.
But, not for long.
