What movie do you suggest for the SO and me?

We don't always have the chance to catch a Friday night movie, but luck has it we are kidless tonight. Frankly, the list of movies available locally looks awful, but, I am hoping hte good folks of DU can help me out in selecting a halfway decent movie. What's your choice? My wife likes romantic comedy best. I prefer something with some teeth, but it has to be well-made.

If none of these, any rental ideas? Thanks!

and that guy who played the elf in the Lord of the rings? *sigh* :loveya:

Think 'The Princess Bride' only with a little more teeth, it's got something for everyone...

Action so well done that it didn't need over the top violence and gore.

Very humorous. Well edited. Good plot.

Cute leading guys (my wife says). Cute leading female (onehandle says), who some will recognize from "Bend it Like Beckham" (another excellent movie).

And of course, Skeleton Pirates. How can you go wrong with Skeleton Pirates?

it only lasted a week locally and we couldn't fit it in...

How can you go wrong with Skeleton Pirates

indeed! sounding good to me.

Not many, though. Amazing staying power.

Also the video will be out at the end of September.

Dragged my husband to it and he REALLY LIKED it. lots of soccer, pretty girls...yeah, he liked it. And, it's funny. And sweet. A movie that celebrates the father/daughter relationship.

I really wanna see bend it like beckham

Am I addicted? Of, course. But it's such a fun addiction, I don't mind. ;-)

Am I correct? Johnny Depp stepped into a routine kids movie and made it hilarious.

GREAT movie!!!!!!

loved it.

Jamie Lee Curtis especially is hilarious as a teenager trapped in a middle-aged woman's body.

is a western in the classic tradition. Very well acted.

is he actually good in it?
:scared:

as is Robert Duvall

Cuddle up on the couch, have a bottle of wine and a box of tissues handy. *Great* movie.

It does make you severely weepy though. One box of tissues isn't enough for me.

and sob into his/her shirt. Takes care of the tears AND builds intimacy.

Romantic comedy and well made.

...try "Bringing Up Baby," "Holiday," "The Philadelphia Story," "Arsenic and Old Lace," or "His Girl Friday."

That's if you need a Cary Grant fix. :-)

I second the suggestion above to rent "Truly Madly Deeply," though I would caution that it's a most unusual romantic drama. Excellent cast, though.

And it's never a bad time to see "The Big Sleep" or "To Have and Have Not," with Bogart and Bacall. Great dialogue and chemistry there.

And if you want a romantic comedy from the last 30 years, go for "Gregory's Girl," "The Good-bye Girl," "Crossing Delancey," "When Harry Met Sally," "Eat Drink Man Woman," or "Sense and Sensibility."

And one of the best movies I've seen in the last 10 years is the Japanese romantic comedy "Shall We Dance?" It is utterly charming and witty.

thanks.
Gregory's Girl, I loved that movie. Used to be on a kick by films of that director. Saw That Sinking Feeling (wonderfully off beat), local Hero, and uh, shoot, something else. Shall We Dance sounds intriguing.

And my SO loves to look at George Clooney.

It is a little creepy, but ultimately I found it very spiritual and heartwarming and mysterious.

that is better than the original Matrix. Stupid people try and say the storyline doesn't make since but, there still plugged in;).

Please go see that if you haven't yet.

since you will have not kids home tonight. A very good erotic thriller.

The Philiadephia Story.
OK, I'm reading a bio of Kate Hepburn now.

That the only movie on your list I've seen is the cartoon?
