Need movie ideas

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Hi vsg friends!

I have a male friend coming to town for a couple of days. I need some movie recommendations. I hate walking around the movie store and reading boxes wondering if it's a good movie or not.

Anyone see anything that is not an action movie or a chick flick , something that would seem good whether you're male or female?

it doesn't have to be a new release.

What about... "Everything is illuminated"?

My husband is a HUGE movie buff, let me know him for you!

Get Him to the Greek is a good one

Step Brothers

The Hangover

Those types are my favorites. I'm a Comedy type person, and those are really good.

For comedy, I love the old favorite - "Naked Gun." Especially in the wake of Leslie Nielsen's recent passing.

If you are not religious, you will probably enjoy "The Invention of Lying," I thought it was a very clever movie.

Most Woody Allen movies are a safe bet.

I don't know how heavy you like your movies....I personally loved "The Road," but it's kind of depressing.

"Pan's Labyrinth" is a very good movie, but it can also make someone uncomfortable - there's definitely a fair bit of violence, as the movie juxtaposes this child's magic world with the reality of the Spanish Civil War going on around her.
