I do two things on my blog…I have my 100 Favorite Movie list and will review one on Fridays that I don’t have an author interview.  But more recently I started my monthly Movie Thoughts in 5 Words post and I hope that it becomes more interactive.  I post the movies I’ve watched for the month and choose 5 words to describe it.  If you’ve seen any of the movies and leave 1-5 words I’ll add your words to the post and a link to your blog.  Stop by and add your 2 cents (or 5). Dec. Nov.

We do use Netflix and I do rate the ones we’ve watched, but I’ve never used the friends feature where you can suggest movies for friends and get suggestions too.  I’ll have to look into this.

If  I’ve read the book I will get around to watching the movie, but I am usually disappointed.  Unless it’s Lord of the Rings 🙂

I do use IMDB as a resource and it is great.  They have everything you need to know there!  I should sign up so I can rate books there too.

How about you?  How do you share your thoughts on movies?

Visit the Bumbles for more Appreciation lists

We’re are supposed to list movies that get better the more we view them, our appreciation grows.  This is a hard one.  When I rewatch movies it is usually because I loved them the first time (and the second, third, and fourth), but these are movies I liked more the second time than the first.  There are many movies that I see and because of a twist (Sixth Sense, No Way Out) or just because I fell in love (Lord of the Rings) I want to see again immediately, but these are the ones that maybe I didn’t LOVE the first time.  Here we go…

I liked this a lot the first time, but I watched it again and fell in love with the individual performances.  Jodi and Anthony are flawless, as is the creepy Ted Levine, and their performances alone are reason enough to watch this again and again.

This is one I liked the first time, but really appreciated it more the second time.  I didn’t know the end, so when I watched again and saw the way it was all set up I was amazed by Hitchcock’s genius.

Jason and I saw this at the theater and there was so much ribald humor that I was a bit embarrassed to laugh (prudish, I know).  I saw it again in the privacy of my own home and I just let myself be taken over by the silliness and raunchiness.   But I find Ben Stiller funny, I don’t think you would ever appreciate this movie if you didn’t.

I watched this the first time after I had spent 5 hours watching the BBC mini-series with Colin Firth, so I spent much of my time noting everything they left out or changed.  When some time had passed and I watched in on tv I was able to appreciate it for it’s own merit.  I’ve seen it several times and love it each time.

I did like this the first time, but loved watching the way it was expertly woven together with each additional viewing.  And there are so many characters that it was much easier to keep them straight the second time and even third time around.

I know there are more, but these are the ones that come to mind this morning.  What about you?  Have any movies that get better the more you watch them?

Molly over at The Bumbles decided this week’s movie topic should revel in all things victorious. Share on your blog movies focusing on champions, victories and winners.

Well, here are my choices.  What do you think?

1.Love this man who is all heart.

2. Love basketball and this story of the underdog.

3. Cleveland rising from the cellar with hilarity (we could use a little of this now!).

4. There’s no crying in baseball.

5. Ralph Macchio, where are you?

Hey, my list has five different sports, sort of.  Which is kind of funny since I’m not even a baseball fan.  Do you have a favorite?
