Think - "The Crucible" (Daniel Day Lewis/Wynona Rider version) - I've always tried to understand what those damn girls were thinking.. About the nature of collective hysteria.. About the stupidity of Religeous Zealotry.. About McCarthyism in '50s Hollywood.
Laugh - "Dude, Where's My Car?" - sheer nonsense but I laughed all the way through.
Cry - "Apollo 13" - I fill up every time I see it, and still feel the supense of re-entry, which is crazy because I've always known what happened.. I'm old enough to remember it happening at the time and I was living on my nerves for the whole 3/4 days, just like everyone else I guess. It reflects a time when Mankind was still optimistic about the future and everyone was pulling together sort of vibe..
Scared - "The Exorcist" - Still the most frightening film I've ever seen. Those first few bars of Mike Oldfield make my short hairs stand up even to this day. I've seen more gory horror films, better special effects and even a few with better stories, but there was something in that film that really touched a nerve. The ONLY film that has ever made me question my belief that the Devil is merely an invention of the Church..
Leaving before the end - "The Grinch" - Actually first I fell asleep, then I left. Crap, we went for a Pizza instead..

New film that made me think -
I, robot..
Good sci-fi always opens a questioning eye on the future.
I avoided this film in the Cinema after seeing the trailers. An army of killer robots was the last thing that Asimov intended and I imagined him spinning in his grave.. However, after watching the film on DVD, I must now admit to making the wrong assumptions at the wrong time. It's still not truly in line with Asimov's vision when he wrote the robot stories, but the creative use of the 3 Laws of Robotics to justify the film's essential plot of robot rebellion, was exactly the sort of thing Asimov did. Having created the 3 laws, he set about trying to find ways in which he could logically break them in all of his robot stories.
If anyone's familiar with his US Robotics Industry characters, they'll know that Susan Calvin was never a 'babe'!

1)Contact ... Well, I was more overwhelmed than anything. The movie shows, with great success, how small humanity is. How stupid the massess are, but also shows how the conscious would function as to concieve things it normally wouldn't/couldn't bear.
2)She's having a baby... the movie isn't exactly a comedy, but I tend to laugh to it more than any other movie, It's good humour inside. Maybe I laugh so much because it's sorta like a rollercoaster of emotions all in one. I really like the relationship between the couple. And I absolutely love Elizabeth in this, she's sooo cute!!!
3)Snoopy come home... This is a Charlie brown cartoon movie I last saw when i was 6.... it's the last movie I remember crying to. Snoopy runs away with his little bird, and Charlie Brown and the gang miss him... I remember getting up in the middle of the movie and running to my bedroom so that nobody would see me cry..lol
4)Jacob's ladder... It's not exactly a horror film, but a very excellent serious flick with a lot of meaning. I left the theatre without the abilty of blinking. Some scene's within, hit a fear cord in me. I guesss I could mention the original "Blair Witch Project" when i still thought it was a real.
5)Titanic... This is the only movie I've ever walked out of on free will.

Think -- The Corporation. You think Big Business is evil? You don't know the half of it!
Laugh -- Airplane! - one of those movies I've seen 100 times and still giggle like a schoolgirl.
Cry -- Schindler's List
Scared -- Misery. I usually find most so-called horror films to be comedies, but this one creeped me out!
Leave before it was over -- I wanted to on The Blair Witch Project, but the folks I went with didn't so I didn't.

# 5 Million Dollar Baby-yuck I would have put this one down, but me and my husband had the dvd on at home, so we COULDN'T "leave before it was over''-but I did find myself yearning to mop a floor during this one-we suffered thru till the end....

Airplane - brilliant. How could you ever take a disaster movie seriously again. "Over Mucho Grandee?" - "I'll never be over Mucho Grandee.." Talking jive - "Sheeyit!" (Golly) ( Should I fake my orgasms?) ;D

The Green Mile. Kung-Fu Hustle - I was literally in shock the first time I saw it. Me and a friend didn't speak for an hour and a half after it. Wilde and Iris, I don't cry, oh and last episode of Sex and the City. Movies don't frighten me, generally because I refuse to go see scary ones, I may get frightened! Lost In Translation - well I wish I had, the movie was crap, but I was with friends so we just messed about in the cinema.
