And wins all the awards, but yet the Mel Gibson movie, The Passion of the Christ" caused such an uproar. It shows where Hollywood's mind is and their agenda for the rest of the country.

two cowboys in love and kissing and having sex?
uggggghhhhh
Who decides proper? If these two cowboys sm
lived alone with each other and didn't get married and pretend they weren't gay they still wouldn't be proper, right? They couldn't win for losing your book,right? It's views like your that push gay kids to committ suicide rather than live in YOUR world and deny how they were born. And they are BORN that way and here's how I know-who would CHOOSE such a behavior knowing how half of society would shun them??? Who would CHOOSE to be ridiculed and made fun of? Who would CHOOSE to be judged the rest of their lives not on who they are but who they live with???? I know a lot of women married to creeps who I don't judge because of their husbands, judgement by association is cowardly. Why don't you get to know PEOPLE and judge them accordingly based on WHO they are not WHAT they are??
Definately ruins any fantasy I ever had about cowboys!

i love cowboys, hardworking hardriding and they can sing too! Lord have mercy.
 Big and burly and ever so sweet and patriotic and humble. God bless America and my singing cowboys.
Girlie boy-men not so much.
have ya'll seen this movie sm
called Napolean Dynamite? If you have teens, maybe you have heard of it. If you wanna rent a movie this weekend that is totally mindless and just plain funny, rent this one! OMG, my 14 YOD has watched it four times since we've had it. It's just funny!
So are you saying you actually saw the movie?
If you did, then you would know they would never have gotten married if society had accepted their lifestyle and they did not have to fear for their lives.
It was a TV movie, first
After getting work at Universal (legend is he sorta snuck in), Spielberg was given Duel as his first directing job. It was a TV movie (I remember seeing it way back then). It was later released to theatres in 1983, most likely due to Spielberg's success with ET and other films at the time.
It's remarkable how simple a film it was (i.e., low budget). Only about 3 actors, with Weaver in every scene. It reminds me of a Stephen King type suspense, although none of the movies made of King's work has done nearly as well.
Some interesting comments about the film can be found at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9ZHVlbHxmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=206;fm=1
any movie must see and
I highly recommend The Machinist, it kept me interested as to whats going on until the very end, and I had to watch it again to catch the little hints. I just rented and saw Red Eye, HORRIBLE...some parts were predictable and others were ridiculous. Don't tell me other passengers don't notice when someone gets head-butted hard enough to draw blood. Big disappointment. Anyone else?
probably his best movie!
It showed the insurance companies for what they are; money-grubbing killers.
I think anyone here who thinks this is a good system should try to put herself (or himself) in place of those denied a claim for a procedure to save a life.
It is callous and disgusting. As I said before, health care should not be a for-profit business.
War of the worlds movie.
Has anyone seen the new War of the Worlds movie and did the big, mechanical monster remind you of a giant colonoscopy at times? Just wondered if anyone else saw it and thought the same thing. ');>![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif")
This movie was so bad that we walked out of it!!

That's the scariest movie I ever saw! SM
I was 19 when I saw it - and I went home and slept in my parents' bed with them!
Sounds like a fun movie!

Wow! Wasn't that some movie!

good movie
Crash
I am so excited to see this movie.
I never saw his other 2 movies, but I am so glad he is making this, and I hope everyone will watch it.
He mentioned on Oprah that health insurance companies are required by law to turn a profit (for the benefit of their stock holders), and in order to turn a big profit they feel they need to deny care to patients that need it. The laws obviously need to be changed, and healthcare needs to be a right, not an outrageously expensive privilege!
What was that recent movie ...
Something where they were going to blow up a compound in Saudi, wasn't it?
did you see the movie Doc Hollywood?
it's about just that - it's sorta old, but so wonderful.
Outsourcing - the movie
Has anyone seen the recent movie Outsourcing? My husband and I rented it last night and it was quite good, and very relevant to what's happening in the MT business, although the business in the movie was actually a call center. It's a comedy about a call center manager whose whole department gets outsourced to India and he is sent over there to train his replacement and get the whole department up to standards. It's very funny actually, with a little romantic story line thrown in, to boot. It seemed pretty realistic in portraying what's happening in too much of American business today, and as MTs, we can all relate!
I am trying to find a movie still from The Pacifier of
BUT I CANT FIND ONE. I find movie stills from the movie, but for some reason NONE of that one. If anyone comes across one please send it my way..I really want to irritate my husband.
Thanks, can't wait to see it. I'm always up for a good movie. nm

We still have a Drive In movie theater. sm
It's located in a small town called Skowhegan and it's open during the summer.
No more speakers in the window. The sound comes through your radio. Make sure your car battery is good. No need to hide in the back as they charge by the car, regardless of how many people are in it.
Izzy was in a Hallmark movie also
It was a sweet story, catch it if you can....She was also in something else that I can't think of right now... a movie.. I'll think of it sooner or later...
Repeat after me,,,,, I love that movie.
:+
Keeping with the movie theme........
share with me the good movies you have seen in the past year (I like to get PayPerView and have picked some STRANGE stuff lately!!!)
Thanks!!!! 
LOL...yeah, I think it is. Great movie!

my fave movie too....but not for Costner...nm
Loved that movie however unpopular.
I applaud Mel Gibson for making it.
Eight Below - great family movie. nm

Saw it yesterday, it was a very good movie.
NM
There is also a good movie hopefully coming out soon. sm
it is more about maternity care in the US and how horrible it has evolved in the last decade or so. Lake and director Abby Epstein explore the intervention of modern medical practices in the birth process, which has led to alarming rates of drug-induced labor and cesarean sections performed in America. it actually has ricki lake in there too with her home births.

I knew there was a dell in there somewhere...LOL! Been a while since I seen the movie.

That was in a movie right? He looks great on award nights.
I like him because he seems to be focused on the part he plays and not on looking good and in some movies, especially the pirate movie, he looked not so good but was hilarious. He doesn't seem Hollywood to me all propped up and doing the guest appearances to promote his movies.
Go out and do something! A movie, a museum (if open), mall, etc. -sm
I am home just about every Saturday night though I am married, have no family in the area, and few people my husband trusts to babysit. We try to go out during the day all together and do stuff with the kids on Saturday as I usually spend Sunday working all day (yes I am working now, taking a 10 minute break though). When I was single I enjoyed going out by myself and doing things. On the rare occasion now that I go out alone and don't have a million errands to run, I enjoy myself. But you can't meet anyone if you don't go out and try, maybe one of those book stores with cafe's, or the library, etc. Of like my dad (which I wish he hadn't done but its water under the bridge) go to church one night. That is what he did and he met my, now, stepmother that way. I am not religious so I'd never do that. But my point is complaining about being home alone and dateless on Saturday night is not going to change unless get up off your butt and go out. Try it and who knows!
Exactly. What audience would be clammering for a ticket for this movie?
Love to see it fail to send a message to Hollywood. Don't push your agenda down our throats.
That may be true (but I don't buy it); but in the movie they both get married and have kids sm
and still continue to sneak around. I'm sorry. I don't care for that kind of lifestyle gay or straight.
Million Dollar Movie? Was on every night...sm
on TV and you could watch the same movie for a week? I remember a lot of James Cagney movies shown on that Million Dollar Movie - *lol*
Cannot remember name of a movie and want to have my kids watch it.
Hopefully somebody out there can help me out on this one. I watched this moving about 4 or 5 years ago, I believe it was even a Sundance Film Festival Movie, but not sure. It is about 2 families, 1 Irish Catholic family with several kids and one particular curious 10 year old boy and Jewish family with only 1 child who is 10 and the 2 boys become friends. The whole point of the movie is their different religions and the 2 boys trying to figure out if their religions are so different why is the outcome for both getting to heaven. The 2 boys end up doing all kinds of "challenges" and what not through the movie to ensure their place in heaven while also trying to sort out why their families are so different and against them playing with each other. In the end, I believe the Jewish boy ends up getting sick and dying and the 2 families end up being brought together by this and also brought together by the donation of the Jewish parish to the eldest boy in the Catholic family so he can go to college (which of course the Catholic father is against at first because of pride).
I think that is how the movie goes but I only saw it once. The reason I want to show my kids is because they are 9 and 10 and all of a sudden becoming facinated with why people have different religions and beliefs and how some of their piers "don't like some kids" because of their religion, etc. This movie was a good example of how we are all the same no matter what we believe and I want my girls to know that and to know that they should not judge somebody by their beliefs and I want them to know that we ALL can teach each other something new no matter what our backgrounds are or how we were raised or even how old we are. Can somebody help me with this movie title? It would be greatly appreciated.
at 81....loved that 1971 movie *DUEL*...nm

Yeah, Duel. Great movie. sm
One of Steven Spielberg's early ones before he became famous.
Whoops, this belongs under the movie question below. nm
nm
Not old but........Primal Fear! Excellent movie.
x
Elvis? LOL! Did he ever make a good movie?

That movie was Hollywood, not necessarily the truth.
Hollywood can put a spin on anything. You can't go by that. I'm not sure if this guy is the killer or not, but the DNA evidence should prove if he is or not.
"It ain't fittin..." also from another great movie...
"O' Brother where Art Thou?" There were so many great quotes in that movie it just ain't funny!
"The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo." --Delmar
Such a great movie! Still love the soundtrack
s
haha you just happened to be watching his movie but won't tolerate him? nm lol
..
Diary of a Mad Black Woman -- Good movie.
I thought it was so good. I just went through an affair (my husband being the cheater, while I was pregnant), and she gave me such confidence. I don't know, I just really liked the movie. Thought it was great.
Hilarious name for a gay movie. Broke back mounting.
Gays love it. A play on words.
Can't wait to take my family.
Have you seen Anger Management with Jack N? Worst movie ever! nm
d
My husband uses Widows Movie Maker, and it is free!
