Yes. It's about two gold-miners and their little brother. The one miner is engaged to be married, and sends his friend (John Wayne) to bring his bride to Alaska. Wayne doesn't end up getting the other man's fiancee, but instead brings a back with him. What ensues is basically: All three men fall in love with her, and there is general mayhem over their gold-mine. Lots of mud-fights, bar-brawls, that sort of thing. It's great!

Lol! Actually I don't think there's any other movie that goes quite like that
 . Legends of the Fall, but that wasn't any good.

The Matrix pretty good since this was the first time I saw it. The fight scenes were well choreographed

Well, two of my roommates hadn't seen The Matrix until last year when they had to watch it for a class and review it, I think...
So I guess it does happen...

Just saw the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Fun film! Alan Rickman is terrific as Marvin.

Just saw American Gangster, starring Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. Pretty cool. Recommend it.

I'm watching 'Dances with Wolves' right now. We watched it in History class in secondary school, so I wanted to see it again.
Somehow they managed to stretch the film to last 5 hours though... >_<

It is a pretty long movie, but one of Kevin Costner's best.

I just watched Snow Cake, with Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, and Carrie-Anne Moss. I really, really enjoyed it. And the soundtrack (by Broken Social Scene) was amazing. Highly recommended.
And I saw Ninotchka for the first time last week. Greta Garbo's first comedy. Very good. I also just re-watched Narc and Sweeney Todd. Love them.

Watchmen was awesome. Great visuals and fight scenes.

 I saw The International. Great acting, and a hell of a scene in midway through the film. I'd give it a 4+!

I'm gonna go out of a limb & say that you've never read Watchmen, then?
 It's actually a great social commentary, don't let the fact that it's a graphic novel put you off.

I've been hearing pretty negative reviews for it, including from people who have read the novel, so I don't think I'm going to see it.

I have to say, I'm a huge fan of the original graphic novel, and I loved the movie. It's paced like the comic, so if you're not into slower movies, I'd be prepared, but they did an excellent job of giving everyone their deserved screen time, as opposed to just focusing on Rorschach which would have made plenty of sense.
I went with two friends of mine--one who is a huge fan of the original, and one who's never read it. Both enjoyed it very much, so I don't think that whether you've read the original has as much to do with it as just personal preference and taste. Warning [!], though, that there is one ridiculously awkward, unnecessary sex scene about midway through.

Different tastes, Buddy. Different tastesQuote:
Are you talking about the first sex scene between Silk Spetra II and Nightowl II? Cause that one was pretty awkward. Rorschach cracked me up several times. watched the first two Underworld movies. Great. 2nd one left it open for another movie involving Selen and Michael
