I have BBC's Persuasion on, but I can't really get into. I've heard thought that BBC's Sense & Sensibility is good. Of course I"ve watched the Ang Lee Emma Thompson version which is superb... I may get it this week to see :P
a little princess. <333 best movie ever!!
Trick 'r Treat!
It just might be the best Halloween movie ever!
I just added it to my Netflix queue....I'm excited!
I am officially addicted to Dexter!
Beowulf. The one with Anthony Hopkins.
Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. I watch them on Halloween every year.
It Happened one Night
I love old movies. Last year I had no cable and I watched dvds from the library - saw tons of movies mostly from the 30's and 40's, and the documentaries, and commentaries on them. I liked the Invisible Man with Claude Rains alot, and Mr. Skeffington. Also watched every Peter Lorre movie I could get my hands on.
I must add that I'm not watching many movies these days due to the horrible grinding noise my dvd player is making. :'(
I watch most things on my computer on netflix

When I first moved to Spain, we had 2 half-channels. Channel 1 started at 3 PM and Channel 2 at 7.30 PM. By 1 AM they were both signing off. They seldom showed a film made after about 1955. (With the exception, oddly enough, of "Cleopatra Jones" and a bizarre pseudohorror flick called "Bad Ronald.") I learned to love classics from our limited-resources TV.
Now we have 5 or 6 national channels that run 24/7 and the films they show are crap, mostly made-for-TV adolescent garbage. But I now have a thriving DVD collection.
Lubimiller - unfortunately my computer's an antiquity - slow - I can't watch movies on it.
That's an interesting movie experience Yabbitgirl - it's amazing what you can discover when your regular tv watching habits are altered.
Whoa! Cult horror in Spain. That's kind of cool.
What DVD? Well, for the missus and I, it's time to get back to some 'Death Note'.
Well I just watched Doghouse the other day. As far as zombie movies go, that was defiantly not a Peter Jackson film. Even Resident Evil has a better plot line...
Do.not.watch.
I want my 2 hours back. :(
On the other hand, if you want to see several guys beat the crap out of hundreds of zombies with golf clubs in a rather GTA style, this is the film for you!

I saw The Breakfast Club for the first time down in SC. It is a pretty good movie... god I miss the 80's!
Watching "You Only Live Twice" with a student born in 1993. He makes me feel old. I have to explain everything. "Miss, what's a Soviet?" ::) OK so it's history now, instead of part of life, but where were you in class? It wasn't that long ago, surely they still talk about it?
Also realised how popular submarine-based TV shows and movies were when I was a kid in the 60s. He didn't grokk the shoot-Bond-out-the-torpedo-port thing either.
Note to self: Rent Das Boot....no, wait, not in English, won't work for class.
District 9
Always sunny in Philadelphia Season 3. Love that show! :-D
Currently watching season 2 and 3 of Northern Exposure, with DH who has just discovered it along with Friends. (I know, I know, where have we been? But they're not funny in Spanish. Or in French, either. Oh, translations exist....but they're not funny. It's just people talking.)
I've been MIA lately, sorry!
But here's one for me: "The Devil Wears Prada." Only because I love the main character.
Breaking Bad, season 1
