Topic: Movie Recommendation

While I was visiting in Arizona with my daughter, we rented Bonneville, a movie with Cathy Bates, Jessica Lange and Joan Allen.  It is such a good movie.  We laughed, cried and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Kind of a chick flick, but I think men would enjoy it also.  I am going to rent it again because I missed parts of it when my teenage grandkids were saying this is for *old people* to watch.  lol.

I'm not sure if it is a new movie or not.  I just highly recommend it for pure enjoyment with a great cast.  Tom Skeritt is in it too.  He lives in my area.  Good looking guy.

Hi there Dottie! 

I will have to rent Bonneville.  If you like it I am sure that I will enjoy it, because we seem to both like the same type of shows.  I like everyone that is in the cast too. 

 Ooh! Love the cast! I will definately have to look for it!! My rental recommedation is ''Waitress''....quirky characters,  funny & a great ending!!

I'll have to rent that.  I've never even heard of it!  Isn't that amazing NOT.  LOL

And Tom S. lives in the neighborhood?  Or has a summer house?  You know, I thought I saw him in Sequim.  Nah, it couldn't be!

Glad you're back to enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather.  Bask it up, it may not last.

I loved it!  I rented a couple of movies for Saturday night and that was one of them.  Tom thought it was just OK.  He did think it was better than the other one I rented ... "Fool's Gold'' with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.  I thought that "Fool's Gold was cute, he thought it was awful.

A movie NOT to rent is "I'm Not There".  I think (?) it's about the 6 stages of Bob Dylan's life.  At least that's what the box said.  Tom watched 20 minutes of that one and said ''I've had enough".  I watched it the next day only because of extreme determination.  It was awful.  I still don't understand what it was really about and it's the only movie about Dylan that he gave his permission to have done. 

"Bonneville" was good!  I, too, love Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange.

Did you just love the cell phone ring? I sure laughed over that one. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that movie. Must admit I never heard of it before, but sure glad I watched. Dottie

The ''ring'' fit Christine Baranski's character perfectly and ''yes'' we did laugh over it. I hadn't heard of the movie either but the cast grabbed me right away. I put two other movies back (one was one that Tom wants to see........shhh, we won't tell!) so that I could get the two I wanted to see. I've got his on our Netflix list so it should come next. It's the one with Jack Nicholson, ''Bucket List'' I think it's called. I'm not a fan of Nicholson but I think I'll like that one too. eom mags

Since I LOVE Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange, I will definitely look for this one!    Never heard of it.

We never heard of it before either. Don't understand why such a good movie got no publicity. Not dirty enough I guess. Dottie

I have not heard of it either. I'm going to rent it sometime. It sounds like something I would enjoy. eom/Grace

I will have to give that one a look. I love chick flicks. I just bought a dvd for $2,99. It was called Gracie and it was based on a true story. It was a tearjerker. Well worth the few bucks I paid for it.

Who is the Gracie that it's about? Someone famous or just a regular person. Dottie

OMGosh! GMTA, I was just going to post a movie topic since we already talked about books.

There are a few movies on my list like Iron Man but I haven't had a chance to get to the theater.

I just watched Letters From Iwo Jima the other night.
I'll have to check into your recommendation. Thanks!
