Hmmmmmmmm.............

Just a little dyslexia for you:

'Finding Neverland' = a feel good movie, while 'Never Finding Land' = a tragedy, and yet the letters are all the same.

Dead Alive, made in New Zealand in the early 90's. Gave a couple copies to friends, labelled them 'Romantic Comedy'. There was romance and I thought it was funny...

Sea People

Back home Alabama,

Fried Green Tomatoes

Finding Neverland

Driving Miss Daisy

Cats

The first five are feel good movies the last had me standing and cheering

Paolo, I have not seen the fifth HP movie yet, I may like it, then again if I remember right you did not like book 5 either, but everybody else did.

River

Book five DID suck. Over-written. She said in 500 pages what could have been done in 200. Looking forward to seeing the new movie!

I have to admit, I'm surprised (not really) that considering the number of b-movies on this list (be honest), nobody's yet mentioned the Trancers series. For sheer cheesy goodness, you can't beat just about anything made by Full Moon, and I've always felt that anything with Tim Thomerson in it is definitely worth watching. How can you not love any movie where the lead character is Jack Deth? As an added bonus, you get to see some interesting faces, as Helen Hunt co-stars in the first two, and pretty much does a walkon in the third.

I also am still hoping to see another Evil Dead movie, one that picks up either after the shootout in S-Mart, or in the alternate ending where Ash winds up in the future.

I wonder though... what if Tim Thomerson and Bruce Campbell teamed up?

I saw the latest HP movie. I thought it was good, but it had been long enough since I'd read the book -- and also thought it was the worst of the series -- that I didn't remember much of it and saw the movie from a fresh perspective. They've left much that was in the book out -- maybe not a bad idea considering -- converting a 700 page book to a 2-1/2 hour movie.

At least, I wasn't sitting there wondering, "When is this damn thing going to be over," as I have been in so many other movies lately. I walked out of the last "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie I went to.

that was WOR , channel nine, and the show was Million Dollar Movie.

Me thinks many of us enjoy the guilty pleasure of B-movies. A delicious addiction.

Jemagirl - The Mouse that Roared: I haven't seen this movie in over 20 years. Thanks for reminding me of it. I'll have to dust off this gem for another viewing.

Daughter - I thought I was the only one that owned a copy of this movie! I loved the scene where the condom was crawling across the storm drain grate and slips on the banana peal!

Is there anybody but me that has seen the movie Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter? It was a low budget musical but damn entertaining!
