Your Recommendations
Here is the list of movies submitted by those
commenting on my movie
post. Many of these suggestions came with short reviews, so if
you want more information about these films,
check out the comments from that post.
By the way, if you love movies, you HAVE to
subscribe to some kind of online service. You can’t just go to Blockbuster and
hope they will have something good. I used Netflix for years, but they started
delaying mailing movies to their customers. There was a lawsuit about this. I
noticed it was taking longer and longer for movies to arrive. I switched to
Blockbuster for several reasons:
1. They are more prompt in sending movies.
2. You can turn in a movie at a store and have
it immediately checked in online.
3. They give you a free rental every time you
turn one in at a store. (This basically doubles the movies you get for your
money) I use the mail service for my serious films and the free movies for stuff
my kids want to watch with me.
Okay, now your list. I wish I had time to write
my own reviews for some of these, but I’ll settle for a simple rating system:
1 – I’ve seen it.
2 – I’ve seen it and would recommend it.
3 – I’ve seen it and loved it.
4 – This came close to making my list.
5 – This probably should have made my list.
