Glad to see that you liked TS3 because DS#1 recommended that movie to us. I have to check out "Inception." It sounds like my kind of movie but I don't know about DH. We don't go to movie theaters any longer, we buy or rent movies. Then there is the compatibility question with our hardware/software and the new movies. I'll have to figure that one out.

I just saw Cowboys and Aliens. It was disappointing considering how cool the premise was. But if you want some action scenes without much plot and some nice scenery (Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford), then give it a try. It works on that level. I enjoyed The Adjustment Bureau. Reminded me a little of an old movie called 12:01, but with better acting. I made the mistake of trying to watch Bridemaids. OMG, what a depressing, boring, crude, horrible movie. The critics loved it. Tell me, when did rude and crude become fresh and appealing? I keep reading that people thought it was hilarious. Believe me, there was very little laughter in the theater where I saw it.

Playing with my camera one night, I took a picture of Uncle Charlie giving niece Charlie the ring in Shadow of a Doubt. I can't bring myself to delete this picture! diane_nj mentioned Key Largo. Some other great Edward G. Robinson movies: Double Indemnity (seductive Barbara Stanwyck practically sets the screen on fire), Scarlet Street, The Stranger. Paul Muni is excellent in Scarface & I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang. I can see why he was so respected in his day.

My favorites not in order...The color purple, Fried green tomatoes, Ordinary people, Terms of endearment, Chicago , most Jason Statham movies, most Bruce Willis movies. I also really like movies with Kathy Bateman, Tommy Lee Jones, and Melissa McCathy. Love quirky comedies like The invention of lying. There are more but that's off the top of my head. Thought of more. ..When Harry meet Sally, Catty shack, Something about Mary. Oh you have to have A Few Good Men on your list!!! Jack Nicholson is one of the stars. Favorite quote..."You can't Handle the Truth"!

Not a beach movie, (well, a tiny bit is,) but I just saw "Chef" and really enjoyed it--very light.

I guess beach movies appealed to me most in my teens. So . . .

Alisande....I'm with you....have watched both recently. Loved Paula Prentiss and Jim Hutton in WTBA as well as Dolores Hart. Also, all the Gidget movies as Fun mentioned and the Annette Funicello/Frankie Avalon Beach Blanket Bingo movies. Seems like we would go to the movies every week in the summer to see one of these...they take me right back to my childhood in SoCal.
