Hogz was pretty good - but I preferred "Thank You for Smoking" and the Simpsons movie for comedy recently. I also really liked the french comedy "Mon Meiller Ami - My Best Friend" and oh let's see..."Becoming Jane".

The Zero Effect was really great - a favorite - and I guess "Z" liked it too?

I love Charles Addams and got a big kick out of those. Raul Julia was truly great...

I really liked Tampopo and A Taxing Woman....but we've been watching kids stuff lately a lot... LOL...Ratatouille was a lot of fun in that genre as well as Chicken Little.

I like films and have watched many many many of them....
Also have always been a big fan of W. C. Fields...I've seen all of Field's films...multiple times.

well was it??? Because if it was....I wasnt too impressed with it......mostly because I was arguing with my ex.....he was trying to tell me what to eat at the theatre and me being stubborn......told him......I would like to read the menu first!!! It was a cool movie theatre....you could order a bottle of wine and nachos etc....but he pissed me off so much that I dont think I really enjoyed the movie.....if it is the same movie....

Clooney was not in Thank you for Smoking, his movie was Syriana - that blew chow. If you want a good movie, go old school. Check out Lawrence of Arabia or maybe the best western ever: Once Upon a Time in the West

I think he was and produced or directed the movie......Im not thinking of syriana either.....there was something about smoking.......it was an independant film I think, mostly black and white....

Saw Wild Hogs it at the theater when it came out. It was OK.


I watched "Breach" this weekend. Based on a true story. I thought is was really good. and "Shooter" with Mark Walburg was pretty good, lots of action.

My niece sent over her copy of 300 this weekend, I thought that was a good story.

As far as good stories go check out Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall

I can't believe no one has mentioned movies like The Godfather, or Casablanca or an all around good comedy like Fletch or Ford Fairlane
