I've got one of those movie rental coupons for rent 4, get the 5th free.
I can't think of 5 movies that i'd like to see. Can anyone make some suggestions? Doesn't have to be brand new, but just suffice it to say that I've only been slacking off seeing movies for the past 6 months or so.

I just saw them, and I thought they were good:
Dune (newer version), and Children of Dune (sequel)
Matrix Revolutions (I need to see, not sure if its out)
Underworld (I have yet to see)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Saw it 10 or so times)
A Walk To Remember (if you're a softy)
League of Extrodinary Gentlemen (I thought it was... alright)
Spiderman
The Matrix (original)
X-Men (definately)
X-Men 2 (definately)
The Scorpion King
The Run Down (I have yet to see)
I might think of more later. -----------------------

May I suggest you go get some old or foreign flicks?
Any Kurosawa is a good bet. And I just watched Treasure of the Sierra Madre a couple weeks ago for the first time in awhile.
Other than the few movies I have caught lately in theatres, there hasn't been much over the past couple years that bear rewatching.

Glory was beautiful if you like movies on the Civil War (it follows the first black regiment). Do not under any circumstances watch Gods and Generals, it sucked beyond all belief, and was horribly inaccurate to boot (for example, Stonewall's men hated his guts, the movie makes him their hero). I would definitely recommend The Replacements, it has Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman in a great movie about some washed-out football players getting a second chance at greatness. Absolutely awsome. -----------------------

The replacements is a fine selection. But if your someone like me... I like a very wide veriety of comedy... The ones that top my list are Basketball, Airplane, Slackers, Office Space... Then if you would like some recent action movies... Hrm... X-2 was way better than the first. Lord of the Rings: The two Towers, or Lord of the Rings: Return of the King... Don't watch both in one night, you'll find yourself sick to your stomache the next morning... -----------------------

Couple of suggestions by catergory
Action:
Braveheart
Propaganda:
Top Gun
Blackhawk Down
(I personally hated both of these but if you like em why not rent em)
Documentary:
Roger & Me
Historical:
13 Days (it has Kevin Costner so if you can just ignore him the rest of the movie isnt too bad)
(other note, its semi historical...Im not sure as to the exactness of how things happened but its not too bad)
Stalingrad
Schindler's List
Dr. Shivago
Anti-war:
Full Metal Jacket
War:
Saving Private Ryan
Comedy:
Any Monty Python does nicely
Other Action:
The Connery Bond movies rock
Based on True Story:
(ones I thought of after the fact and Im not bothering togo put em in better catergories)
Nuremberg
Ghosts of Mississippi
Those are just a few well known ones I decided to list...Ill go through what I have and see if there is something out of the ordinary thats worth seeing. I know as Fury said, there are many excellent foreign films and many good documentaries worth watching. I just dont know many of em by name

I would have to say my favorite James Bond movie... don't know what its called, always forget... It's the one with James Moore where at the beggining he's at the cemetary then all the sudden he jumps into this Helicopter stunt with the Cat Dude. That was the most intriging to me... But... You know. Octapoosy, Goldfinger, all the rest are good. But the one that I would say of Brosnan's that I like the best is Golden Eye. Great movie, so 90's... addicting even. -----------------------

James Moore? Shaz, I don't think any such actor played Bond... Do you mean Roger Moore? I hated that guy. Although Tim Dalton was worse... But Connery was definitely best. Whoever that guy is that plays him now (forget his name, some funky thing, isn't it?) is alright, but he just lacks something, a sort of charisma or class that Connery had... -----------------------

Pierce Brosnan....He's not bad..and he actually has an ENGLISH accent...instead of a Sco'ish one...not that it took anything away from Sean Connery as Bond, he IS the only true Bond. Pierce however, does finish a near 2nd. -----------------------

yeah, some old one are good. my dad has been doing the old movie education course.
there was one called THELMA AND LOUISE. that or LOUISE AND THELMA. kinda good. about a house wife and waitress that leave and shoot someone, and run from the law. then the rest is kinda good, and kinda funny. okay movie.
the Sierra Madre movie is really good. then there is the African Queen, which has humpfry bogart (just like Sierra Madre). it's kinda good, but there are some scenes where humfry and the other lady are cheesily saying" i love you." "no i love you" "no i love you" . CHEESY.
yeah. but that is all me brain can dig up. it's not functioning. small tree rabbit. -----------------------
