My friend is just like you, he's a movie geek big time.

Anyways I really liked the movie Little Miss Sunshine, it's really funny.
Another good is The God's Must be Crazy, basically a man from a tribe in Africa finds a discarded Pepsi bottle. He doesn't know what it is so he takes it to his tribe and soon everyone is fighting for it. He decides it is an evil thing and takes it upon himself to throw it over the edge of the world. There begins his really funny journey. It's hilarious, especially when all the comedic scenes are all in fast forward which makes it even funnier.

[cornflakes]

Yeah! I love that movie...... the sequels were not so good though. The first movie was the best. It's funny almost from start to end, but even manages to be insightful at the same time. Great movie.

I haven't watched it in years, though.

[jmend1]

Sequels? I thought there was only one sequel? Yeah the 2nd was not even close to being as good as the 1st. My dad was the one who got me into that. He told me he saw it the day his Great Aunt died. Everyone in the house was crying except for him and his cousins 'cause they keep laughing at how funny the movie was. Great 80's cult movie.

[cornflakes]

Haha.... especially bad timing.... lawl. There were two 'official' sequels and one Hong Kong-produced spinoff, I believe.

What's the best 'scary movie' you've watched?

[ninjanoob]

SCARY MOVIE 4 was so f*** hilarious I almost suffocated on laughter

I think he meant it as a horror movie...I'm not a fan of horror movies, but if Signs counts as one, then that's mine...

[ninjanoob]

Signs was good to

[Reina]

My favs:

Cast Away
Hildalgo
Pirates of the Carribean 3 (sp?)
Matrix (entire series was good )
Black Beauty

My least favorites:

Dreamgirls (STUPID!!!)
Napolean Dynomite (sp?)
Napolean Dynomite was funny, but pointless...

[ninjanoob]

That's the point of Napoleon Dynamite

[YellowFlashWhiteFang]

point of Napolien Dynamite was to be funny with no reason for it being funny....
just like those movies like Date Movie and stuff

[kitsuneking]

yeah those movies r good if u watch them like once but they get crappy if u watch them a lot and are often over quoted like anchorman
