Which Movie Should I Watch Right Now?

[-Skeme-]

I have a few movies at my disposal, none of which I've seen. A few from Netflix and a few I recently downloaded. Help me choose. Some are long, time is not a factor, unless a movie exceeds 209 minutes.

Eyes Wide Shut imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120663/)
Million Dollar Baby imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405159/)
Blue Planet: IMAX imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099158/)
And the Band Played On imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106273/)
Beautiful Girls imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115639/)
Seven Samurai imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047478/)
Rushmore imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128445/)

That movie is 210 minutes long, hell no.

Yup.

Rushmore is also very good. Haven't seen Million Dollar Baby or Eyes Wide Shut yet.

[pshreck]

The correct answer is Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.

[Voltron87]

why is it an option then?

[kerssens]

I have seen exactly zero of those movies....unless you say that seeing some clips of Seven Samurai in high school lit counts.

You not only ask an internet forum to control your decisions in everyday life, but then say no to one of the suggestions?

Eyes Wide Shut is only good if your eyes (and ears) are shut while you watch (and listen). A truly dreadful movie.

It . . . . could . . . . . have . . . . . been . . . . . an . . . . . hour . . . . . shorter . . . . . if . . . . . Nicole . . . . . Kidman . . . . . didn't . . . . . talk . . . . . like . . . . . this . . . . . in . . . . . it.

This might be the most retarded reply ever...let me rephrase that.

Was a joke, but whatever. I think I'm watching Million Dollar Baby.

No because you won't be able to appreciate how great Beautiful Girls is until you're out of college for a bit.

[JoshuaD]

If you're in a relaxed, patient mood, Eyes Wide Shut is amazing. Don't watch it if you're in the mood for clockwork orange II though.

I liked :

Seven Samurai
Rushmore
Blue Planet

I disliked:

And the band played on
eyes wide shut

I would dislike:
Beautiful Girls

[pryor15]

i'd say rushmore or million dollar baby, depending on which end of the spectrum you're looking for.

[swede123]

You really ought to check out the Seven Samurai sometime. But if you are worried about a movie just because of it being 210 minutes I'd definitely say the Seven Samurai isn't the right pick, it is rather slow paced through the first hour and a half or so.

Nah, that's not it. I watched Das Boot a few weeks ago, had no problem with the length.

42 minutes into MDB. Good movie.

Beautiful Girls is better. And The Band Played On isn't great, but it's really, really interesting, but only if you haven't read the book.

I hated Soda Popinski passionately. He kicked my ass so many times when I was 6. I showed him though.

Just realized: Seven Samurai is on at 2:15 AM Eastern on Turner Classic Movies. For anybody with a screwed up sleep schedule and nothing better to do on a late Friday night: if you haven't seen it, watch it.

[-Skeme-]

Million Dollar Baby was very good. Rushmore is next.

[partygirluk]

Haven't seen most of these films - but Million Dollar Baby is damn good.

[Uston]

Bald Bull was the one that gave me fits until I was about ten.

[Burt Reynolds]

Burt Reynolds say you should watch something with Burt Reynolds in it.

I can beat everybody nearly every single time except for Super Macho Man. It takes me like 5-6 fights in a row to remember his pattern for his super spin punches.

Rushmore was good.

Eyes Wide Shut was absolutely horrible. Kidman taking 4 seconds per word was insanely annoying. This movie making no sense whatsoever was also annoying. Blue Planet was cool. Seven Samurai I will try and fit in tomorrow.

[captZEEbo1]

Million Dollar Baby, and it's not even close.

I recently had no idea who she was until I saw Garden State. I loved her Character in that movie, aswell. She's a bit younger in this but still great in it. Netflix it if you have it, or just rent it. It's good.

What are her other good flicks? I have Leon in my Queue. And for the record I'm a Lacey Chabert man.

Closer is really good imo. Natalie Portman filmography sorted by ratings (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000204/filmorate)

Thanks. Although I hate watching movies where the semi-child actors are all grown up. /images/graemlins/frown.gif Crushes the little hope I once had.

Don't thank him until after you see the movie. Closer is truly one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen. Seeing as you like Lacey Chabert watch Not Another Teen Movie instead. You won't be nearly as bored.

[-Skeme-]

Seen. She's fine in that.
