For fear of sounding like a complete child...

Daffy Duck 'The Best Of' (with the all important fantastic Duck Amuck)
James & The Giant Peach
Sense and Sensibility
Muppet Christmas Carol (the definitive version in my book!)
Spawn (ahem...cough...let's just gloss over this one eh?!)
9 and a Half Weeks (because it's a very good film and nothing else!!!! *blushes*

and recently in a DVD boxset on sale, Supernatural, Seasons 1 and 2. All the rest were VHS videos for 60p each from the League of Friends shop in the hospital I work in. Bargain much!!

Childish? Couldn't possibly comment.

*tries to hide copies of Willo The Wisp and Danger Mouse behind his back*

I think the Muppet Christmas Carol is brilliant, thing is it technically is the closest (if you ignore the penguins frogs and other anmals) as it has a narrator. You really cant dis Daffy either, hmmm, theres a complete of all his cartoons? Is it on play or Amazon? think my wife would love it!

Dangermouse was the greatest ever secret agent!

Time to update the movies again;
Rambo (good)
Beowulf (fair)
Allan Quartermain and the Temple of Skulls (definitely low budget; poor)
In the Name of the King (fair)
Jumper (fair)
AVP Requiem (fair; better than expected)

Enjoy!

Adasunshine · 16th June 2008, 03:42 PM

The Swarm...

... don't ask!

xx

Happy Joe · 19th June 2008, 02:42 PM

Hit Man (good; better than expected)
Revolver (fair to poor; attempts to mess with viewer's mind)
National Treasure (fair)
Sands of Oblivion (Poor; the storyline had potiential)

Enjoy!

(Edit) the "Avoid these movies..." thread inspired me to post my rating system;
Excellent - worth seeing multiple times; definitely a worth addition to the DVD library.
Good - worth seeing in the theater, worth renting, depending on preference; worthy of a DVD purchase.
Fair - depending on preference; worth seeing in the theater, worth renting the movie but may not be worth purchasing the DVD/wait for it to appear in the discount bins.
Poor - only rent these if you are a fan of low budget flicks (most people should avoid these)
Stinker - avoid these; not worth the time wasted

I don't usually go out and buy a lot of DVDs at a time, but I was in a shopping mood yesterday, I guess. There was also a sale, 4 for $20. Predictably I found five I wanted. But one was only $3.99 aside from the sale, so I went ahead and bought it.

They are:

Zodiac - Robert Downey, Jr. and Jake Gyllenhaal (long and intricate, and not a perfect film, but interesting...especially because I've read the two books it was based on)

Hairspray - John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer and Queen Latifah, among others (I don't like Travolta at all, but this is a good movie, and it is actually possible to forget that it's him dressed up like a woman)

The Last King of Scotland - Forest Whitaker (I haven't seen this one yet, but it comes highly recommended)

Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again - Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy (not a big fan of the Cable Guy, but Bill Engvall is really, really funny)

And the fifth, Wordplay, which is a documentary about crossword puzzles and puzzle competitions. Sound boring? Believe, it isn't. This is a great documentary which, among other things, reveals that the Daily Show's Jon Stewart is a crossword fanatic.

Forest Whitaker is simply immense (and chilling) in this movie. Probably his best ever performance.

Me? I just got myself a Laurel & Hardy collection (just a small six disc set, not the really expensive complete-all-they-ever-made set).

They still make me laugh

I love Laurel & Hardy. They've been showing their films on Turner Classic Movies on Saturday mornings. I'm waiting for them to get to "The Music Box", which is my favorite...it's a short, but it's just about perfect. I'm sitting here trying to keep from giggling just thinking about it.

Serin · 3rd July 2008, 10:14 AM

Ghost Whisperer. 1st series.
Quatermass and the Pit.
Dracula Prince of Darkness
And last but not least,
Portrait of Jennie.

BookStop · 11th July 2008, 06:21 PM

The first 3 seasons of Weeds. Watched season 1 - it's really good, and I'm looking forward to other 2.

Foxbat · 12th July 2008, 06:29 AM

Got Zorro's Fighting Legion, The Master Key and The Fighting Marines.
I love those old serials
