I would have sworn you would pick Blue Hawaii.

Personally my favorite(s) are The Big Lebowski, Pride and Prejudice, Gladiator, and Pulp Fiction, I told you I have an eclectic range. I'm also really good at '6 degrees of Kevin Bacon'. Last night I was watching a rather lame 2011 crime movie with Sean Bean and thought I recognized his boss lady. She played the love interest of Paul Newman in the 1982 make of 'The Verdict'. I really need to get a life.

Yes you do have eclectic taste in films, but that's good, means you have an inquiring mind.
 
I like movies that have a twisty-turny plot to them , and sometimes you have to watch them over once you get to the end, so you can actually watch how things unfold.
One of my favorites is "The Usual Suspects" with Kevin Spacey. I also liked that magician one, "The Illusionist", a great blend of intrigue and a captivating love story woven in.
The Hunt for Red October is one of my all-time favorites, but the one that I can watch over and over is called Frequency. It is about time leaps, saving a family, and just has twists and turns in every scene.

I like movies with a lot of "excitement" in them. Not a lot of shooting or exploding cars, but some twists and things that make me jump out of my seat. I just saw "Interstellar" this week. Really exciting but a piece of advice: that rascal is almost three hours long.....DON'T buy the extra-large drink, if you get my drift....

It didn't seem all that long, possibly that I dozed longer than I thought, but overall an interesting movie. Was it really 3 hours, surely didn't feel like it, I must have gotten caught in one of those wormholes/black holes then shot into another dimension for a bit.

2 hours and 49 minutes. Add in the "coming attractions" and the commercials and you have a loooong time to store than extra-large Coke. Did you understand the ending? I sure didn't.

LOL!
I must find out about Interstellar, Sci-Fi I presume? Which I do like very much.
 
Oakapple, yes, Interstellar is sci-fi.

I really loved the Lord of the Rings movies, but for some reason didn't really want to see the Hobbit movies.

I really enjoyed the first LOR somewhat enjoyed the others and felt like you about the Hobbit movies, I did see the first one, wasn't thrilled with it, but might go with my movie group to see the one coming out soon, maybe just for the visuals.

I used to enjoy watching them, but not as much these days unless I watch them during the daylight hours. LOL, plus they I haven't seen a well made one in a long time. I'm not much for too much gore in them though. The Ring, Paranormal Activity, American Werewolf in London, The Thing,(the one from the 80's), Alien, Aliens, oh and The Host, this one
those were some good ones.
 
OMG...House on Haunted Hill. I talked my grandmother into taking me to see that one and it gave me nightmares for months. My mother was mad at both of us. I kept seeing the scene where the woman is standing in her room and the rope comes through the window and winds around her feet. I don't know why, but that scene scared me the worst of all. Still gives me the willies.

I was under age 7 when I saw it, spent lifetime with nightmares. I went to watch the clip and had to cut it off it still sends chills down my spine as well. All those creaks and screams and Vincent Price and his creepy personality plus narrations. Just pure psychological torture. I loved every minute of watching such movies till I had to go to bed.
 
When we'd watch the old classic ones on Friday nights (there was a regular program hosted by Selwin the Ghoul), we'd make my poor grandmother sit up with us to watch them. It wasn't enough for her just to BE there, maybe sleeping on the couch.....BUT NOOOOO, she had to sit upright on the couch, eyes open, with her arms around as many kids as possible. Did I mention I had a wonderful grandmother?
