I am a huge fan of Jeff Bridges. I was just reminded of one of his films in particular after last week’s plane crash called “Fearless”. He walks away from a plane crash and has real trouble dealing with survivors guilt, to the detriment of his family (Isabella Rossellini) but to the benefit of a fellow survivor (Rosie Perez).

I just looked him up on IMDB in order to reference Fearless and I see many of his other films I also enjoyed:
Starman (one of those movies like Shawshank that I always stop to watch when channel surfing);
Tucker: The Man and His Dream;
The Fabulous Baker Boys (with his brother & the fabulous Michelle Pfeiffer)
White Squall (several Caribbean scenes that take place in the ‘60s)
Arlington Road (domestic terrorism);
Seabiscuit (beautiful in widescreen hi-def)

Also saw part of "The Missing" again this weekend while channel surfing. Takes place in the still wild west of 1885 dealing with a pretty intense kidnapping, but great stuff from director Ron Howard with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett with some beautiful New Mexico high desert vistas.

OMG! Jeff Bridges!!!! Have you seen "Against All Odds"???? Great 80's movie set in the Yucatan. AND Jeff lookin' fine of course..........

Jeff bridges in "Escanaba in the moonlight" don't eat or drink anything you don't want to come out your nose.

I will preface this with a confession. I don't really like movies, I don't have the attention span, so my list of favorites is small and random (and mostly old)

Princess Bride
Being There
UHF- very random, but very funny
Once Around
As Good as it Gets
Always
What about Bob?
Anything with Vin Diesel

Pretty Woman
My Cousin Vinny
Boys on the Side
Philadephia
One Fine Day

The Big Easy - Dennis Quaid (pant pant!) & Ellen Barkin
Quigley Down Under - Tom Selleck & Alan Rickman

An oldie but a goodie - Working Girl

XOXO · Post by **XOXO** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 6:21 pm

Seriously--I haven't heard of a lot of these and I thought we were regulars about going to movies.

I have netflix and can instantly watch movies. I am checking to see if any of your suggestions are on the instant menu. Great thread Pia!

Soooo bored! I have my personal e-mail, VIOL and Facebook all open at the same time!

Pia,
I like really stupid movies in addition to "thinking movies". Sometimes you just dont want to think or cry or anything.

Here are some stupid movies that are really funny.

Galaxy Quest-probably my all time favorite. Who was the person who confessed to being a trekkie recently? They have GOT to watch this. It is FABULOUS.

Talladega nights- OK- I live in North Carolina and there are real people like the ones in the movie. This is NOT fiction.

Borat- I didn't want to see this until my dad (70 year old liberal college professor) just about insisted on me watching. He told me about it so many times I was wondering if Alzheimers was setting in-really. The movie was much funnier than I expected, totally politically incorrect and really so funny in parts I was dying laughing.

The Big Lebowski- you will know people like this on ST. John fer shure. Really fun movie.

I recommend these because no one else will.

Susan
