so its summer, and my summer is usually filled with emptiness and spiritual enlightenment. So, i've been watching a lot of movies lately.
recent movies
Raging Bull - wow, the 1st time i saw this movie i thought it was good, but i think i wasn't truly involved with the film. But now the 2nd time around, all i have to say is WOW. This movie is perfection. Beautiful shots, great performances, awesomeness.
Crash - i've had to watch this movie several times. After this viewing, i really, really liked it. It is a very good movie, even though i do not agree with it winning Best Picture, i put aside my prejudice towards this movie (as a Brokeback fan). Not perfect, but i respect it. Slightly ridiculous
The Last Picture Show - this is my new favorite movie! I love it, so well made, 3-d characters inspirational and yet tragic. Great, GREAT movie
The Hours - this has to be the best movie of the new millenuim. Very beautiful like a panorama of emotions, great music-best ever soundtrack? Great acting by an ensample.
Brokeback Mountain - Everytime i see this movie, i see more love, i see more beauty. Truly a wonderful movie. I'm always still mixed on something, i always have to rewatch it sometime later, because i almost forget how and why its so wonderful-only to be inspired again!
Persepolis - its a french animated film about a girl who goes through life in a sheltered society. WOW, so entertaining, compelling and provocative. I really liked this one, so uniquely drawn and executed.
A Streetcar Named Desire - This is such an amazing movie. One of my favorites. Blanche DuBois is one of the best characters ever written, tragic, intelligent, sensitive, and all so desperate. Vivien Leigh really gives a divine performance.
so what are some movies that my fellow Brokies are watching??? :D

last night I watched "The Murderers Among Us" 1946 German movie about the rehabiliation of Nazis in the post war period. Last week I watched "The Kite Runners", I really recommend this movie. Dusty had on "Alien", so I ended up watching most of that too.

I enjoyed "The Hours" quite a bit more than I thought I would. There was something about the time progression and its interrelated parts of the womens lives that intrigued me.
David In Indy:
I've made it a habit to put on a movie each night as I'm winding down for the day, so my list would be far too long to post in its entirety, and I probably can't remember them all anyway! Here's a few recent ones though:
The Omen (2006) - I watched this one last night. It was quite good. Much better than I expected it to be. Julia Stiles played the mother and Mia Farrow played the nanny.
The Walton's - Not really a movie, but I have season #2, #5 and #6 on DVD. I've been watching season #2 off and on these past few days. I think my favorite episode from that season is "The Substitute", where the school finds themselves without a teacher (due to a family emergency) and hires a substitute teacher from New York City - highly intelligent, but young and inexperienced - who believes in running a very strict and rigid classroom.
How Stella Got Her Groove Back - One of my favorite movies. I love Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs is SEX ON LEGS!
What's Eating Gilbert Grape - Another one of my favorite movies! If you haven't seen it, you should rent it and watch it sometime. This was one of Leo DiCaprio's earliest performances, and he did such a brilliant job with his acting people actually thought he was mentally handicapped.
The River Wild - This movie is full of energy and beautiful scenery. Meryl Streep totally immersed herself into her character. She insisted on taking rafting lessons in order to make her character appear more realistic. This isn't the first time Ms Streep has done something like this. After she was cast for the movie Music From The Heart, she learned to play the violin. I've played the violin since the age of 7 or 8, and I can attest that it is NOT an easy instrument to learn. Meryl Streep is an amazing actress.
Pay It Forward - Another beautiful and amazing movie.
Titanic (1997) - My favorite movie of ALL TIME (not counting Brokeback Mountain of course!). I've watched this movie dozens of times and it seems I cannot get enough of it.
Interview With The Vampire - Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Bandaras, need I say more? LOL It is an elegant and highly intricate movie, quite beautiful in fact and full of homoerotic imagery.
The Color Purple
Driving Miss Daisy
Beloved - A ghost story starring Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise and Beah Richards. This was one of Beah Richards last performances and she did an amazing job. The movie is set in the Midwest (Cincinnati) during the latter half of the 19th century. Oprah Winfrey plays an escaped African American slave from northern Kentucky who moves in with her mother-in-law (Beah Richards) after a series of horrible events take place during her escape to freedom.
Everybody Loves Raymond - I own all 9 seasons on DVD and I watch them all the time! It's my favorite sitcom.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Another of my favorite movies. Sean Penn is a riot in this movie, especially when he is dealing with Mr. Hand! lol

The Happening, 2008, written by M. Night Shyamalan, and staring Mark Walberg.
The wind and the trees conspire to make people jump off of buildings and Mark Walberg looks perplexed and runs a lot. Not my favorite Shyamalan story, that would be The Village.
