Movies you love.... but are sure

The Bishop's Wife

Used to watch this every Christmas but I don't have a dvd version yet. One of those things you forget you were going to look up, by the time you get to the computer.

Nomads with Pierce Brosnan. No one has ever heard of it, but it was a good film.

Also the original Repo Men ... hysterical.

[RAIDER]

The DIsh ..... With Sam Neil about Australia's part sending the pictures and satellite information during Apollo 13 landing .Its a brilliant little feel good film

Arthur..my father and I used to quote lines

Another vote for Worst Witch. My kids loved it.

And my "unknown classic" is - Robinson Crusoe on Mars.

Also, Hot Millions - Peter Ustinov, Maggie Smith, Bob Newhart.

Pocketful of Miracles with Bette Davis - an all time fav that people never heard of.

For years it was Harold and Maude, but that became a cult classic as well. My favorite soundtrack of all times.

Crossing Delancey--maybe not totally unknown, but still not one that I find a lot of people have watched. Some of the characters in this movie remind of my husband's relatives! And I love the romantic chemistry between Amy Irving and Peter Riegert. I've watched this many, many times.

I love that movie. It's neat to see David Hyde Pierce WAY before he was in Frasier.

For me, I'd have to say it is 'Idiocracy.' It may not be everyone's cup to tea, but I think that it's hilarious.

Caught "About Time" on cable sometime last year and fell in love with it, saved it for about a year and showed it to the near 13 year old and wiped him out emotionally last night during the latest snow storm. And DW cried to the brink of dehydration. Lots of hugging here when it was over, not the usual reaction to the end credits.

Asked the family if I should delete it and they said NO!

Mr. Potter would call it 'sentimental hogwash' but it's kinda this millenium's "It's A Wonderful LIfe".

Kid was very upset with the mixed reviews we looked up. Many critics felt it was too similar to "Groundhog Day" as if movies haven't been stealing from each other from take 1. And the couple in this film fall in love first without any manipulations of the magic in the plot.

It is rated R, there's a fairly tame (pre/post) sex scene and one joke about sex that the parents laughed at but wished flew over the head of the tween. And whoever did its wikipedia page clearly didn't like it, noting that reviews were 69% positive but the negative review quotes outnumber the positive by about 2 to 1.

Loved this movie so much, we bought it. It now resides in the same section as Love Actually, The Notebook and the Kleenex.

Was that the Rachel McAdam movie? If so, I saw it at the movie theater about 2 years ago and loved it. It was definitely a sleeper. I don't remember it being sad...but then again I am not an emotional person. I thought it was a sweet movie.

[NJDad]

Yes, it was Rachel McAdams, and it was not strictly a sad cry.
