One of my all-time favorites is The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey. If you like who-done-it type, this one keeps you guessing. I am a HUGE fan of M. Night Shyamalan....The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village.

I also enjoyed these to name a few:

Spy Game

Enemy of the State

Pay It Forward

Mystic River

Fools Rush In

Meet the Parents

Son-In-Law

I loved the usual suspect. Great film, he was great in it. M.night is a good director. I liked unbreakable, sixth sense and the village. I am slightly interested in his new movie.

What about Forrest Gump? I think that movie was probably the best in every way. It deals with so many issues and so many trials, all wrapped up in a package of simpleness and sincerity!!! Now, where's that DVD?

Man, I am a movie lover - I have seen sooo many and repeat the ones I like over and over...it drives my hubby MAD!!!

BTW, I have a bunch of movies to add to my ever-growning Netflix Queue...thanks bunches!

American beauty was a great film. I saw it in the theater. He truely pulled off that dirty daddy character. The ending was so intense. When you see a movie that starts out as one thing and everything comes together at the end just to throw u a kick like that ending can shake you. Great Film. How about Say Anything? I really loved that film when I was a kid and still do. The scene with the boom box. Wow! It always makes me love John Cusak more than I already do. Does anyone like Irish and British actors? Intermission is a great film. Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy are both in this film. I have to say, I love Independent films, and am a sucker for a great director.

Everything Kathy473 listed! I could go to the movies with you! I totally LOVE vampire movies. They are my all time fav. Blade is my hero. I really enjoyed Crash. I love Anthony Hopkins, he is one of my favorite actors, I loved him in The Edge. Johnny Depp is just total eye candy so I have to see whatever he does. Sling Blade is another I really like. I actaully really like Billybob Thorton, I think he is a great actor. Bad Santa is one of THE funniest off color movies I think I have ever watched....still cracks me up.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
