Going to rent movies. What should I watch?

[Maddy McCall]

Need to get one or two that will appeal to MMjr. too.

Any suggestions? (I wonder if he's old enough to watch some of the Monty Python movies--The Holy Grail or The Meaning of Life?)

[AllegroRondo]

1. Wallace and Gromit is awesome

fitting for all ages, and hilarious!

As to Python films, my daughter loved Holy Grail when she was 10, but Meaning of Life will wait until shes at least 18.

[Maddy McCall]

6. Yeah, you're right about TMOL.

I forgot some of the scenes in it. It's an awesome movie, though.

OK, we'll look for The Holy Grail.

Thanks!

2. The original Bad News Bears

[Maddy McCall]

8. I LOVE that movie. We've already watched it together.

Thanks for the suggestion!

3. Did you see "Walk the Line" yet? It just came out on DVD.

Oops- didn't see the Jr. part. I agree with Wallace and Grommit... very funny and cute. Also lots of fun double entendres for the adults!

[Maddy McCall]

10. Ok, Wallace and Grommit and Walk the Line.

Thanks!

4. Dark Star

[Maddy McCall]

12. Thanks for the rec...

I don't know anything about it. What is it?

[anarch]

22. science fiction comedy gold

About some guys that have been in space for way too long. I can't really do it justice...it's one of my all-time favorite movies, but then again I am a strange person.

Here's the page from IMDb

26. It's really good but a bit dark...

not sure how old MMjr is...

[anarch]

27. a good point...I missed that detail in the OP

I saw this movie when I was a kid, and you see how I turned out...so it's probably not recommended.

[redqueen]

28. hahaha... so did I

So what are you tryin to say? Hmmmmm?

;)

5. The Incredibles

One of the best movies I've seen in a long time and it's good for all ages.

[Maddy McCall]

13. We saw that! Loved it!

:thumbsup:

[DainBramaged]

7. Get him Kill Bill, he'll love (never mind)

A Shark's tale if he hasn't seen it. I have a copy that I've watched a few times (brings that tear to my grumpy old face every time).

[Maddy McCall]

14. We saw Shark's Tale.

No Kill Bill for him. :D

[Critters2]

9. I'm thinking of renting one of the MST3K DVD's

I'm jonesin' for a fix.

[Maddy McCall]

16. What is that?

[AllegroRondo]

24. Mystery Science Theater

It was a TV show in the 90s. They would show very bad Sci-Fi films. Three characters would make fun of the movie as it was played. You could see their shadows on the screen, as if you were in a movie theater sitting behind them.

Great for sci-fi fans or bad movie enthusiasts, a little out there for kids.

[Critters2]

25. Mystery Science Theater 3000

Hard to describe. You might want to take a look at

11. School of Rock?

[Maddy McCall]

17. Saw it. Cute movie my kid thought.

Kinda corny, but my son liked it. :D

[taterguy]

21. well then

You're just gonna have to post every movie you two have ever seen so I'll stop suggesting things you've already seen :)

[AlCzervik]

15. i second Wallace and Grommet, it's excellent, Rat Race is funny as well

[Maddy McCall]

18. What is Rat Race?

Thanks for the 3rd on W&G. :D

[AlCzervik]

23. it's kind of a remake of It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world", John Cleese is

in it, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg and Jon Lovitz in a very funny part. Totally mindless but very funny, lots of sight gags.

[Maddy McCall]

19. THANKS, Y'ALL!

Heading to the movie store now. :hi:

[plcdude]

20. In her shoes

[AngryAmish]

29. Scanners

[ksilvas]

30. "Mirror Mind" is pretty amazing.

digital animation, English, kinda geared to kids
amazing visuals.
