What Movie Did You Like (but didn't think you would

[ChrisL]

I like action adventure movies, maybe with some comedy thrown in. I don't like sad movies or slasher movies. Not much into romantic movies either unless they are funny, and most of them are too cliche and predictable.

Pee Wee"s Big Adventure

I have really enjoyed some old westerns. I've seen some remakes of some of them, which made me curious to watch the originals, and some of them are really quite good. Like the one about the little girl who pays the bounty hunter to hunt down her father's killer? I wish I could remember the name of that movie, but it escapes me at the moment. Still working on my first cup of coffee.

Speaking of romantic movies, I resisted seeing "The Wedding Date" thinking it would be another mindless chick flick but it is really good. I bought a copy for my movie collection.

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

(wonderful Disney movie for the whole family)

Among our favorite westerns, all old ones: "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (John Wayne), "Big Sky Country" (Gregory Peck and Jean Simmons), "Conagher" (Sam Elliott), "Open Range" (Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall), and now "The Quick and the Dead" (Sam Elliott)

True Grit! That is the name of the movie I was referring to above. The remake was really good and so was the original. Not a movie I would normally watch but I did watch and I wasn't sorry.

Yes! That's the one!

I watched Dances with Wolves, and it was a really good movie, but a little sad for me with the wolf and the horse being killed by the "bad guys." Those parts were terrible. Funny that I don't seem to mind watching movies where humans kill each other but when they kill animals or children, it is pretty bothersome for me even if I do know it's just a movie. I just don't like to see that kind of stuff and don't like how it makes me feel.

And another one of the more obscure movies that isn't so much a western as the setting is in the late 19th Century west with some time in London, England, but we really enjoy is "Buffalo Girls".

I agree. "Dances. . ." is a beautifully made and directed movie, but when they shot the horse and his wolf friend, that was so emotional that it was the primary impression left with me with the movie and I did not want to see it again. If they had left that out of the movie, it would have been just as good and much more appreciated I think.

My wife made me go see "A Christmas Story" when it came out
The theater was only half full but everyone stood up and clapped when it was over

Love that movie!! ....

I also know I am going to get some groans, but a movie I really expected to hate and didn't was "The Stepford Wives." The original. The remake I also expected to hate and did.

Knowing, While I'm a sci-fi nut, I don't like Nicolas Cage and resisted seeing it, up until a few weeks ago. I thought the film was thought provoking.

Both Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion grew on me the more I watched them.

Nicolas Cage has made some good ones I like. "Guarding Tess", "Moonstruck", "Amos and Andrew". The last one I didn't expect to like but it's a great intelligent comedy.

Of course, they do that on purpose so that you will HATE those "bad guys." It is totally meant to get a rise out of us!
