A great comedy with the Senator from the Great State of Minnesota(always wanted to say that) Al Franken. Directed by Harold Ramis.

***Does have some heavy scenes in it that may trigger people. Ebert saying that "it has more courage than a lot of serious films".

Watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" this past week. I had forgotten how much I loved the off the wall British humor. PH watched it with me, so now when I say something is "merely a flesh wound" she will get it! :D

I cannot and will not watch raw rape scenes be it women, children, or men. If it's an exceptional movie and I have some idea it is coming then I have no problem fast forwarding through the scene but cannot watch it - way too triggering.

I just got Net Flix so I'm game for anything I don't have access to but refuse to pay for online services. Just can't spare the money right now.

I apologize for my post sounding so gruff...I didn't mean for it to come off that way. I was responding to the post that said what are you not willing to what...

 

[KP the nut]

(((Rain))), I don't think it sounded gruff. Heck, I agreed with you.

A cautionary tale.. to check the dates of availability with Netflix before taking an overnight break in the middle of a movie!

I started watching Scarface with Al Pacino, a critically acclaimed movie that I'd never seen before. I was interrupted twice for long periods due to my family obligations. After the second time I was interrupted, I sat down to finish the movie the next morning, and found that Netflix no longer offers it on instant download! :eek: Now, I'm stuck! LOL I'm close to the end... but haven't gotten to the part I was watching for...where he says "Say hello to my little friend" :laugh:

I will be setting up a poll tomorrow for the movies tomorrow, so if anyone has any other movies they want to recommend now is the time.

I was also going to only use the movies people are actually recommending verse the ones that people are just talking about in the thread.

Muz, I actually rewatched Scareface...I LOVED that movie and yet my husband has never seen it, draws a blank when I quote lines from all the great movies HA! It's like throwing out comedy lines to empty room..feedback is zero, nada:speechless:. Thank God I can humor myself with these movies because I was also able to catch the Godfather trilogy. OMG...too good ;).

Harvey. Jimmy Stewart.

It is My Favorite Movie Ever.

Will be checking in on other ones - I think someone needs to be in charge of choosing and scheduling. Ayesha? You started this clam-bake (Ha ha, allusion to Harvey...:D)
