The Summer Boredom thread Part I -- The Movie Recommendation Thread

[cr7torossi]

Ok, maybe it is just me but the forum seems to be a bit dead for a couple of weeks now. The CL final seems to be a non-starter too with not much to discuss with respect to the lineups nor the way Barca are going to setup. There is hardly anything to look forward on the muppet front either except the boring never-ending Tevez + Ronaldo sagas. And, it is a summer with no major tournament on the horizon.

So, I have decided to make myself more active on the NSR front. The movie recommendation thread is going to be the start, I am going to list my top 5 movies per genre (well, atleast it is going to be an interesting exercise for meself if not for you guys). Mods, feel free to merge it with the other movie thread if you think they are clashing.

Please do list your top movies (for either a particular genre or overall); hopefully it makes for interesting discussion and great (movie) viewing.

Honourable mentions to Ratatouille, Howl's moving Castle and Toy Story. And no, I haven't seen Grave of the fireflies.

Is it the invincibles, or the untouchables? Eitherway that was a little funny. Im about to get Aliens vs. Monsters. Im definately going to see Up.

I like those type of movies. Bolt was pretty funny too. Wall - E was sick.

A couple times a year, I will dedicate an entire weekend day to plop myself down on the couch and watch Godfather I and II back to back, followed by Goodfellas.

Just watched this over the weekend. It was a really interesting documentary. My wife was crying by the end of it because she found the film so moving. I would highly recommend it.
