Lamby I have seen Saving Private Ryan for sure and maye 6th Sense I don't remember.I'm not very good at movie titles or songs unless they just reach out and grab me.

BBW I should say thank you but you probably just cost me $20 a month with that info.Sounds good.

i highly recommend it ... I am one of those people that procrastinates in returning rentals... and for me this works out extremely well.. i have close to 100 dvd's listed in my rental cue list... and you can go in and edit and change the order of rentals any time you want...

Actually while I dug around on Netflix website - I can across this "Fact Page" - which has some interesting notes about netflix.

They actually have 4 different price planes:
$13.95 Four DVDs a month, two (2) titles out at a time
$19.95 Unlimited DVDs, three (3) titles out at a time
$29.95 Unlimited DVDs, five (5) titles out at a time
$39.95 Unlimited DVDs, eight (8) titles out at a time

Plus they have 20 "shipping" centers around the US to try to make the mailing of DVD's be an overnight type thing - or close to it.

Plus If Netflix members, instead of receiving movies by mail, drove two miles each way to a rental store, they would consume 100,000 gallons of gasoline per day and release 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

.... I have no idea why i'm trying to "pitch" this to people when I don't use it myself, but.... :-)

I have used netflix for my rentals and i think it is the greatest..... not only is there no late fees ... the turn around on movies has only been 2-3 days for me.. ...

Has anyone here ever tried NetFlix.com

I believe it is only available in the US, but basicly for $20 a month (with no other fee's) - you can rent as many DVD's as you can. (Limit 3 at one time)

How it works:

They have over 15,000 movies to choose from - You go on-line to make up your movie list (Lets say you put 20 movies on your list)

They will then ship the first 3 movie to you. You then get done with 1 of the movies, you can then ship it back (Pre-paid special mailer which cost you $0.00) - and in 3-6 days you will get the next movie on your list.

I personally don't use them, but I have not heard anything bad about them - just good things. No driving to the video store - no worry about late fees (You can keep the same move for 2 months if you want - yea, it will still cost you $20 a month)

So if you are a type of person who may spend close to $20 a month at the video store - this might be something you can look into.

LOL yeah thats the problem, when its somewhere handy you keep going back even though you dont want to....our local newsagents is like that!
Ok, some others I can think of....have you seen any of these?
American Beauty
Donnie Darko
6th Sense
Saving Private Ryan
they are big films & your video shop would more than likely have them in (hopefully) :o)

ROFL Maybe a real sourpuss.I wouldn't do business there at all,but it's close.
I like prety much anything Action,love stories,comedy,horror not much into space things.

What kind of films do you like Linda, or which type would you prefer to watch for tonight?
We need to get the guy at your movie rental place to watch some good comedy films & maybe he may lighten up! lol :oD

Have fun watching those tonight Rose :o) they do sound like a good mix of films....I havent seen any of them so would be interested to know what you thought :o)

All the best for the New Year to everyone aswell!! :o)

LOL Why not...That would be good.We only have a small movie rental place here and the guy who runs it is not the friendliest in the world.:(

Lamby 28 days later wasnt too bad in my opinion. I was expecting a different type of movie but wasnt dissapointed in it!

"oh Brother" was pretty funny!

Liked "Moulin Rouge" so much I bought the DVD. I love the play on all the 70's and 80's tunes!

Tonite we are mixing it up, renting
Brad Pitts (animated) Sinbad
Jackie Chan in "the Medallion"
and if I can stay awake
Ledger Heath in "The Order"

LOL I could make a bigger list for you???

I will if everyone don't beat me to them

Youre welcome Linda, let me know what you think of which ever one you watch :o)

Thanks Lamby I'll try one of those for tonight

My opinion of great films within the last 5 years (not in any particular order) would include:
Young Adam
Moulin Rouge
The Others
High Fidelity
LA Confidential
28 days later
Billy Elliot
O Brother Where Art Thou

.......just off the top of my head :o)

Got your point MS you think I am Deaf, Blind and Mute.. thanks!

Hi Magenta Spiral, Im very interested to know just which films you HAVE been watching?????
I dont make a habit of watching many Hollywood blockbuster or 'fast action/lustmance teen movies' as you have stated we all do on this board (where you got that idea from I dont know either???) There are a hell of alot of films produced, within the last 5 years, by excellent directors, with fascinating plots, intense acting & amazing cinema photography!
Maybe you have just been sitting watching something like Jurassic Park over & over & over??????????????? lol

Dawg MS game over just when I was having fun.

Maybe the actors & acctresses salaries are getting to large.

I'll play your little silly a** game go for it.

The skinny guy with the rat being executed (Electricuted LOL) was scary

I thought GreenMile was ok but not great

Give it a rest MS and since it was your statement all movies suck.Enlighten us all as to why Green Mile sucked as you call it.

Lots of ideas are welcome here.. unfortunately you do not understand that THIS Is not a debate board.

To be met with such a wonderous message as your brings such joy to me MS
for those who do not get her last line it says
The world if full of deaf mutes. Very nice words.. Cant wait for you to put yer 10 bucks worth in the site one of these days and have a true debate with you..

I'd love to have you at the debate club.Cough up $10 so I can send you an invite.Lay off your nice pills for a couple of days and you ought to be able to swing it. j/k But I would like for you to be there

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. MS you have stated you do not think any good movies have been made recently. A lot of other people beg to differ. You obviously feel you are in a different league then the rest of us who are here to discuss movies and to give reviews on them. The purpose of this board is not to figure out if others feel todays movies are crap as you do.

Linda I too enjoyed Green mile. I think it is with in the past 5 years also.

P.S. you wouldn't have been pounced on if you hadn't written two separate messages stating "All movies NOWADAYS suck... "

Thanks for dropping by.....

Why wasn't it?

Green Mile was excellent don't know exactly when it came out

Oooops credit were credit is due.. Thanks Lamby not Linda for the original post but NOW thanks Linda for adding your points too!
It IS very difficult to try to keep an upbeat board going with such negativity. My opinion is that some poetry sucks. You sure wont see me voice that on the poetry board because I respect that other people enjoy poetry and wouldnt think to tell all on that board their poetry sucks. Hope this now makes it clear what my original message to you MS was about. I dont go to your board and tell you that your board topics suck so please don't do it here..

Nuff said on that

Have a large day!

Although I read this board I wasn't going to comment.But since Rose already thanked me by mistake I will.She meant you Lamby.LOL And I agree.
Lamby was right this is not the debate board so sorry Rose.
MS the debate board would be perfect for you when you become a member,you seem strongly opinionated.
Most of your post I read are so negative regardless of the subject.But that fact does not make you right it's just your opinion.Lot's of good movies out there.Lot's of bad movies out there.This is a board to discuss movies.Regardless of whether you like it or not.
Here's your statement MS:
I sense the hostile spirit of someone who does not wish to face this.
That is to be expected.
Where do you see that?
What makes you such an authority on movies and if I see a movie and thinks it's great and you don't like it,does that make it a bad movie because you didn't like it?

Thanks Linda.. You're right this isnt a debate board. For someone to keep saying todays movies SUCK is only bringing on negativity. The purpose of this board is to discuss movies, give reviews on NEW and OLD. My thoughts are you've already told us TWICE MS that new movies suck now please give positive feed back or just give it a rest.. Thanks!

Spielburg LOL

Magenta doesn't see how great the Soielburg movies are

But now they play Wizard of oz too much

in the 60's I loved Chitty Chitty Band Bang, The great Race, Those Daring young Men in their flying Machine (& Jaunty Jalopies LOL) and most of the Disney stuff

Oh yes Skyking, I love those two films you have mentioned too!

Sorry Magenta to disagree, this is not the debate board I know so I dont really want to argue this, but ALL movies nowadays do not suck & I cannot beleive you manage to see every single movie produced to have such an opinion!
There are some fantastic new films around! What I do agree is that there are also some rubbish films made.....but Im sure thats always been the case! Also at the end of the day it is a matter of opinion/taste :o)

My favorite old movie(Before 1960) is Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life. Forget Gone With The Wind

I know what ya meet, Rose LOL. But I'm excited there's a #2 LOL

Hulk was eh, was told to wait till it hit DVD and glad I did, cuz even the rental was too much as far as I was concerned.. Had a great concept but the movie was just well.. flat.

Spiderman one was good.. I was meaning the new one Spiderman 2 coming this summer

Haven't seen Hulk yet though

Oh Spiderman was great!

Harry Potter was ok.. 3rd is posta be pretty good
I cant wait to see if Spiderman II is going to live up to its expectations.
