    Yep. That movie was awesome! I just saw The Descent last night. It was freaky but awesome. Its from 2005 so im sure by now im the last one to have watched it. lol The new indiana jones movie was good, though, I still liked the older ones the best.

    When/if the haunting in connecticut movie comes out for you, check it out. It was awesome! Oh and lets not forget the silent hill movie.

          rofl!
          Taste might differ, but even if these sort of movies were my preference it just can't score high. It's equal (in my book) to say the jonas brothers in 3d disney movie.

            :-)

            I am no movie buff however I would highly recommend this quirky & at time's poignant cult film 1971 Harold & Maude, however, I digress I like to read & one of my all time favourites that was recommended to me & I am sure most people would find it delightful as well as enlightening is Jonathon Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach:-)

            Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

              The Discovery, History, and National Geographic Channels have some great shows to watch in the background.

              As for movies and tv shows:

              - Firefly (series) and the follow up movie Serenity
              - Married with Children (one of my favorite tv shows)
              - Battlestar Galactica
              - Terminator the TV Series
              Plan, Do, Check, Act!

                  Thats not true. The movie has grossed extremely well at the box office. Very less movies have that kind of budget:revenue ratio.
                  Twilight

                  Its 2 sequels are already finalised, one to be released later this year titled New Moon, and is much awaited.

                    On the otherhand, revenue shouldn't be the only requirement for recommending a film.

                          Twilight was absolutely horrible. And the sequels have been rushed so they are going to be just as bad. I would absolutely not recommend that anyone go see it.

                          My favorite movies are Garden State, Donnie Darko, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I'm not sure about the UK availability of any of them, though. Some others I would recommend are The Boondock Saints and Being John Malkovich. As far as TV shows go, Weeds and 30 Rock are some favorites of mine that I didn't see on your list.

                              o this list.
                              Godfather ( ALL)
                              GoodFellas
                              Gone with the Wind (we named our son after Rhett Butler)
                              Star Wars (original 3 movies)
                              Star Trak ( Original movies)
                              Lord of the Rings
                              Mississippi Burning ( powerful movie about racial tension during the 60's starting Gene Hackman and William Defoe)
                              Schindler's List ( VERY GOOD movie)
                              The Mummy ( all 3 movies staring Brendan Fraser, their fun to watch)
                              The Postman (staring Kevin Costner)
                              I would add "The Silence of the Lambs" to this list. Anthony Hopkins was legendary in that movie. One of my all-time best movies.

                                Taken was good.
