Hi Everyone.
Movie Bob recently posted a list of nerd bible movies which has inspired me to do a movie marathon this weekend. Sadly I'll be limited to what is available at my local blockbuster due to my wife taking all week to watch "The Triangle", "Chloe" an "Shoot em up (surprising good btw)".
Anyway that just means I can't send away for hard to find movies but I still can get any oldies but goodies available at my local blockbuster.
My general plan is just to go there and browse the Sci-Fi/Action sections mainly (maybe the comedy as well) and try and get a good 10-12 movies for this weekend at least.
So why am I posting here?
Well, I'd like to hear some good suggestions on movies I should rent. Ones that might be worth re-watching or that are on the top of the list of movies you want to see again.
I haven't seen Logan's Run in years (maybe 10 or so) and I'm thinking of grabbing Meet the Parents as well (Meet the Fockers was good but not as good in my opinion and I havn't seen the original in awhile). Other then those I really am not set on anything yet. I like science fiction, action and fantasy the most but me and my wife both like most comedies so I'll probably get a decent selection of those. Don't suggest Dusk to Dawn either, it's awesome but we have seen it too many times and fairly recently sadly (Favorite monologue of all time).
I have not seen any of the Harry potter movies after the first because, well, I thought the first blew chunks and I didn't have the stomach to watch anymore. I'm contemplating trying to watch the rest of them this weekend but don't want to waste that many slots if they totally blow as well.
So, help me out, what would be your top 10 non-recent movies to rent in the above genres. I sit through new drama movies and romantic movies with my wife (she sits through super hero movies etc so it's a give and take) but this weekend i'm aiming for all movies we both would enjoy. Pixar movies btw are great except we have pretty much seen them all fairly recently so those are also out...which pretty much means all animated movies as well.
I appreciate any ideas, the longer the list I go in with the more likely I'll come out with a great selection. I've loaded up on supplies already, our house is air conditioned to a nice 70 degrees and we are ready to seriously veg. I just need the entertainment to go with it (yes we both read, play card/board games etc all the time but it's movie marathon time!!).
