This is a light blog, just a movie list of those movies Keepers and I enjoy. It is not a complete list or in any order, just a fun list and maybe you will see a movie that interests you. So here goes:
The Notebook: I guess this is a chick flick but it is really a couple flick also. It's happy, funny, sad, take your pick, depends on where you are in the movie. James Garner is one of our favorite actors, he is the narrator.
Batman Begins: Unlike the previous movies this one is a tad more serious, no outlandish sets, somewhat realistic. Keepers love Michael Caine and his Alfred the Butler, teens love the Bruce Wayne/Batman character, also the Lt. Gordon with Gary Oldman is much better than the Comm. Gordon in the other movies. Way better all the way around. Morgan Freeman is also a favorite of ours and he is a small role but an important one.
50 first Dates: We love this movie and we don't like Adam Sandler, but in this movie we do. It is light, funny, and sweet also.
Lassie: the newest version, Keepers got it for Christmas and it is a really good Lassie movie with Peter O'toole. If you like Lassie you will like this one also.
Space Cowboys: Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Tommy Lee Jones, and Donald Sutherland, 4 of our favorite actors, not believable but fun anyway, well maybe not so unbelieveable, John Glenn went up when in his 70's so I will recant that comment. 4 old astronauts go up to fix an old space station and find a BIG problem.
Muppet Movie: What can I say? Corny lines, loveable muppets, guest stars by the handful and really fun flick for littles and adults.
Monsters, Inc: One of little keepers favorites, they just love little Boo! I think they identify with her. John Goodman, Billy Crystal, James Coburn and John Buscema are the main voices and all are excellent.
Nemo: Another little keepers favorite, a dad clownfish looking for his lost son and Ellen DeGeneres lends a helping fin. She is a riot.
Murder By Numbers: Sandra Bullock as a detective who investigates homicides and almost was a homicide victim herself. Her reactions and behaviors are right on for many survivors.
Shawshank Redemption: Morgan Freeman is wonderful, the whole movie is great but he is superb, we love movies he is in.
The Green Mile: Tom Hanks as the Green Mile Supervisor over the death row inmates back in the 40's, Excellent movie in our opinion. We love Tom Hanks.
Road to Perdition: I list this because it is Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. Keepers could not watch it because Hanks is a hitman for Newman in the 30's, yep they are both mobsters and it gets a wee bit complicated as the movie moves on.
Funny Girl: Keepers and I have sentimental attachments to this one, we saw it when dating, we both love the music.
Zorro: Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones ignite this one with their chemistry and then you get Anthony Hopkins as a bonus, never heard a single cuss word in this movie, it can be done and still have an excellent movie.
Well there is a list of some of the movies we like, feel free to leave your comments, additions, etc.
best wishes to all of you
