I was just over at Netflix adding a few movies to my queue and wondered if anyone had some good recommendations for movies they have seen lately? We just watched Good Luck Chuck last night and it was a bit cheesy. Some parts were funny, some were raunchy and overall I have to say it was just an ok movie. The commercials really have this one hyped up! So what have you watched lately that you would bill as a really good movie and why?

The last film I saw you've probably seen it already but I can't help watching it, I love the film it's Charlie and The Chocolate Factory the latest one with the fantastic, talented Mr Johnny Depp (round of applause!) It's a great easy to watch, easy to understand family film which is entertaining, funny and very much enjoyable. I bought the dvd because I know it's a film I will watch time and time again and never get fed up with it, I think I went to the flicks TWICE to see it, it was so good! I also love a good horror film, but haven't seen one for ages, well not since Severance now that is also a brilliant film. The two films I am waiting to be released by Sky are Saw 3 and Hostel 2 now I can't wait for those two films and I know crazy I haven't seen them yet being a great horror fan!

I have blockbuster online and I love it...As for new movies Saw IV was good if you happen to like that sort of movie. The Bourne ultimatum was very good also. I really like it especially since it was the third in the series. For comedy The Gameplan with the rock was very good . that is also one for the family to enjoy. I like to watch older movies to, any Alfred Hitchcock movie is a good movie to me. Just look for different older movie that you might enjoy. Nothing beats a classic movie on movie night.

we watched RV last night. We had seen it before but it was still funny. Today I watched The Notebook. I had not seen it before. It was really good,but a tear jerker at the end. I haven't seen Good Luck Chuck yet. I'm sure its in our queue though.

RV was good. I love Robin Williams. I'll have to check out The Notebook. I'm not much on tearjerkers though! Thanks!

I belong to Netflix as well and have watched several movies over the past few months but would probably would say the movie, "The Contract" was my favorite out of the many that I watched. It is a great action/thriller movie that stars John Cusak and Morgan Freeman who work great together in my opinion. This is one of those movies that was good from beginning to end and will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

Thank you for your recommendation. I'll certainly look that one up. It should also be one that sounds like my husband would enjoy as well!

I watched a good movie awhile back but it wasn't a newly released movie. It's called Down with Love. It's a drama/ comedy and I love the setting, the story and the lines they say in the movies. I can't handle sad or serious movies these days (those would depress me for some reason) and therefore, if comedy, I would pick that movie I mentioned. It's intelligently funny, not cheesy!

I don't like sappy movies either. I prefer a good drama or comedy! A little romance is ok but not too much.

I getting the first season of Dr. Who from the BBC Channel. If you do not know about the show it is a cheezy scifi show about alians. I love it because it is funny and cheezy. It is 5 CD's and I am due to get the third CD in the set today.

Few weeks ago the Star Wars showed in TV again. I could see all the series of this movie and it's great. Even the Star Wars is a very old movie, but it doesn't seem to be so outdated today. It is so amazing and this is why I appreciate this movie.

I saw Wonderous Oblivion few days ago and it was really great. It's not new but I have never seen it before. The movie is about a Polish family who movie in Uk after the 2nd World War and all the english neighbours hated them. One day a Jamaican black family movies in next door and suddenly all british neighbors become frinds with the Polish family wanting them to ask the black family too move away. Polich boy becomes friend of the jamacian girl and they play cricket together. It's a very nice movie about the differences and struggles of imigrants after the 2nd ww.
