Movies and movie recs or "What do you mean you haven't seen that?"

[skieswideopen]

I'm interrupting hometown month to talk movies. And movie recs. With summer blockbuster more or less upon us, it seems like an appropriate time.

1. What do you look for in a movie?/What kinds of movies do you like?
2. Do you have a favourite movie or three? (I'm using random numbers here. Feel free to talk about as many movies as you like. Or as few.)
3. What movies had the biggest impact on you?
4. Do you have any movies that you indiscriminately rec to everyone or think everyone should see at least once? (Could be the same as or different from #1 or #2. Totally up to you. Elaboration is encouraged.)



*Or winter blockbuster season, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere.

Storyline usually and something in a genre I like. I love thrillers, comedy, romantic, and action/drama.

2. Do you have a favourite movie or three? (I'm using random numbers here. Feel free to talk about as many movies as you like. Or as few.)
I love Super Troopers (comedy), Flatliners (Thriller?), and all the Batman movies, old and new (with the exception of the old George Clooney one; he didn't deserved the awesome title of being Batman and did a crap job.)

3. What movies had the biggest impact on you?
Hmm, I couldn't tell you. I kinda just watch them from a pure entertainment perspective.

4. Do you have any movies that you indiscriminately rec to everyone or think everyone should see at least once? (Could be the same as or different from #1 or #2. Totally up to you. Elaboration is encouraged.)
Hmm, I'd recommend Batman: The Dark Knight (b/c it is pure awesome with great acting and action) and Passion of the Christ (Gives you a taste of what Jesus went through... heartbreaking).
