I missed all that Daisy missed excepting The Godfather and adding Fargo and The Breakfast Club to the list. There was another one that I missed, but I've already forgotten what it was.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The ones I missed were Iron Giant, which I still haven't seen, despite the fact that I own it on DVD, Breakfast Club and Forrest Gump neither of which I've seen since they were in theaters. So I don't feel too bad.
If I were to go see a movie tonight or tomorrow, should it be Ocean's 13, Knocked Up, or Live Free or Die Hard?

Die Hard is pretty entertaining, though the implausibilities started to overwhelm me at the end. Knocked Up is funny, but I didn't love it as much as most people. Haven't seen Ocean's 13.

Ocean's 13 because, y'know, Now! With more Izzard!

Me, too. And The Iron Giant is one of my all-time favorite movies. Make sure you have plenty of kleenex before watching.
Edited to whitefont something tangentially spoilerishical. Also I should own up to the fact that the mistakes dealing with this movie and the one that doesn't really exist were the ones I missed.

I saw the very beginning of Iron Giant on Cartoon Network once, but found it really boring and changed the channel. Sorry.
Saw Once last night. Sweet movie.
That's a movie I'll be picking up on DVD--I really liked it when I saw it last month. During the Colbert Report, I saw my first TV commercial for it, even though it's been out since May. Nice to see the studio is still supporting it.
I have two free passes for the local cinema burning in my pocket, and I'm debating if I'll use one of them tomorrow to go see Sicko, or if I should just wait to Netflix it since there's no real need to see it on the big screen. Maybe I'll just hang onto the passes until the next Bourne movie comes out.

Dude, watch it. Really, it's so much better than you'd expect it to be.

Hey. New board.
The Iron Giant is amazing. P-C, I think I liked the long version of Almost Famous a bit more, but both of them are fantastic - you will love it, I think.
I saw The Lives of Others, Hot Fuzz, and the first half of Catch and Release on the airplane back from the UK yesterday. (Virgin Atlantic's entertainment system is on-demand and awesome, with 50+ movie choices - too bad the leg room is crap compared to the AA plane I took going, or it would have ruled completely). The Lives of Others was amazing. I am glad I feel that way, since it beat Pan's Labyrinth for the Oscar, but I agree that it's just as good. I would've voted for Pan still, because I'm a sucker for fantasy, but I'm not mad that this one. Excellent, if depressing.
Hot Fuzz was hilarious. As if I didn't already know that I need to see Shaun of the Dead.
Catch and Release was pretty bad. But Kevin Smith is pretty funny in it (not as awesome as his bit role in Die Hard, but still), and Jennifer Garner is pretty. It made me want to watch 13 Going on 30 again.
