(year) Notes |

action, comedy |
The Boondock
Saints
(1999)
Some great action, some interesting twists, good plot and Willem
Dafoe like you've never seen him before! |
| musical |
The Rocky
Horror Picture Show
(1975)
This is a cult classic for a good reason. I only wish Tim Curry
and Richard O'Brien would get some more roles that are more on the
level of their abilities. |
| animation,
comedy, musical - not appropriate for children |
South Park
- Bigger, Longer and Uncut
(1999)
A whole lot of message amongst some really crude language and great
musical scores. |
| family,
comedy |
Baby's Day
Out
(1994)
Our family loves this one - good story, entertaining although sometime
predictable, and full of action - kind of a Home Alone baby-style. |
| action,
drama |
Gladiator
(2000)
Great story, special effects, fight scenes - just enough of everything. |
| crime,
drama |
Traffic
(2000)
The "war on drugs" from some different viewpoints. Riveting.
My wife even liked it. |
| action,
adventure, comedy, sci fi |
Galaxy
Quest
(1999)
If you're familiar with Star Trek, Alien and the space genre, you
should get all the "in" jokes. Ideal, too, to have Sigourney
Weaver in the cast. |
| crime,
drama, mystery, thriller |
L.A. Confidential
(1997)
Great combination of everything with an excellent cast. |
| thriller,
drama |
The Insider
(1999)
Excellent film which really shows the versatility of Russell Crowe
- a phenominal actor. |
| horror,
thriller |
Jaws
(1975)
I can watch this over and over. A great balance of effects and acting.
I'll always remember Robert Shaw in this role. |
| crime,
thriller, action, comedy |
Snatch
(2000)
Twists, turns, some pretty rotten characters - fine acting and plot
development. |

Alien
(1979)
Classic sci fi. Finally an actual strong female lead. |
| horror,
sci fi, thriller |
Aliens
(1986)
Sigourney Weaver just keeps getting better... |
| horror,
sci fi, thriller |
Alien Resurrection
(1997)
and better. I didn't expect too much knowing how Hollywood takes
and winner and then keeps beating it into the ground with sequel
after sequel. |
| action,
adventure, romance |
Cutthroat
Island
(1995)
|
| action,

Mike Myers is wonderful spoofing the spy genre and introducing some
unforgettable characters. |

Austin Powers:
The Spy Who Shagged Me
(1999)
Funny from start to finish. |

Good for the whole family. Just make sure you don't have some noisy
kid sitting in back of you in the theatre. |
| fantasy,
action, comedy, crime |
The Mask
(1994)
Fun movie with cartoonish chaos. |
| horror |
House on
Hauntedf Hill
(1958)
This is the original which first scared the bejesus out of me when
I was a kid. Took a while to get over it, even was taken to meet
with the 7th son of a 7th son. |
| horror,
mystery |
The Abominable
Dr. Phibes
(1971)
Vincent Price is classic in this tale of murder & revenge assisted
by the ever so stylish Vulnavia. |
| comedy,
drama |
That Thing
You Do
(1996)
Great work Tommy! |
| action,
comedy |
Who Am I?
(1996)
Jackie Chan is a favorite in our family. Love the fight scenes,
and the overall feel of the film is more sophisticated than lot
of his films generally are. |
