Recommendations for good movies from the female 'Mooters - Page 2

jerseydevil · 04-26-2003, 02:38 AM

I have another one that is really good, but everyone probably has seen this...

When Harry Met Sally

Blackboar · 04-26-2003, 04:28 AM

Try an old film, I.Q was good, wow I loved that Einstein!

The Princess Diaries? (Has that already been said?)
I enjoyed that.

Lalaith · 04-26-2003, 01:40 PM

I'd say Moulin Rouge and Life as a house. And a knight's tale.

Artanis · 04-26-2003, 02:05 PM

You could try the movies by Pedro Aldomovar. Spanish, quirky, and funny. "Talk to her", "Women of the verge of a nervous breakdown", or "All about my Mother", and more titles I don't remember at the moment.

I've never heard of any of them!

Dr Doolittle, Have they seen that?

Artanis · 04-26-2003, 02:20 PM

"Bridget Jones's Diary" is a sweet and humorous movie.

Blackboar, I think "All About My Mother" was the 2000 Best Foreign Film Oscar winner.

GrayMouser · 04-26-2003, 02:51 PM

If you like Hugh Grant, "About a Boy" - a lttle quirky, but warm-hearted.

Oh, right. Still never heard of it! Lol, Still, it was "Foreign"

***RÃan*** · 04-26-2003, 04:29 PM

Thanks, everyone! I'm going to the video store in a few hours, I'll take this list with me.

***RÃan*** · 04-27-2003, 01:54 AM

OK, just finished up The Princess Diaries - very fun and light, just what I was looking for! They didn't have Brideshead Revisited (I like Brit humor), and their foreign film section was abysmal

- oh well, I'll have to wait until I'm visiting Artanis' house to see those movies she recommends

.

(scans back thru list) Yes, JD, Driving Miss Daisy was wonderful! I just saw the last little bit on tv a few weeks ago - really tender and sweet.

Yes! I saw the series in my teens and since then I've been in love with Jeremy Irons

Bad for you, European films are very good. Bille August, Pedro Aldomovar, the KaurismÃ¤ki brothers, Fellini, Andrei Tarkovski, Francois Truffaut, etc.

"All about my mother" was a really good movie. "Talk to her" - do you mean "Habla con ella"?

Artanis · 04-27-2003, 03:32 AM

Sounds like the one - from the little I know of Spanish

Lalaith · 04-27-2003, 03:33 AM

Yeah, because I have heard of that movie, but they didn't translate the title into german and left "Habla con ella".

Millane · 04-27-2003, 08:34 AM

this is one of the most challenging questions in a long time

hmmm so foreign is what women want in that case
Young and Dangerous - an interesting look into Hong Kong Triads (it falls into violence though so that might not be good)
hmmm mum has a Beautiful Mind on DVD so she must like that...
im sorry all the movies i know and love are all violent

Lalaith · 04-27-2003, 09:12 AM

I've watched "Life as a house" again last evening and if you really want to cry, watch it.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-27-2003, 09:36 AM

Life as a House? Was that that one movie with the mechanised, intelligent house that went cooky?

GrayMouser · 04-27-2003, 11:48 AM

"Brideshead Revisited" isn't exactly a comedy, (though some of the earlier bits are very funny- it's a BBC TV mini-series) unless the decline of a young homosexual aristocrat into hopeless alcoholism and dementia is an example of British humour- which is possible

.

Sween · 04-27-2003, 01:16 PM

went to see that 10 days to lose a man today what was a good woman movie (aslo passiable for lads as the girls fit as and doesnt wear a bra the whole movie)
