jaybone Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have taken the month of February off from drinking (OK, Feb after the Superbowl) and I'm looking to fill some time. Does anyone have some movies they would recommend checking out? I'm up for anything that isn't too scary (my wife has nightmares after horror flicks).Thanks.

Cosmic ChrisC Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 One of my favourite movies, Big Night , is on TVO tonight at 8:30pm.Make a night of it and cook an Italian meal too, minus the wine I suppose!We watched The Help and Moneyball last night. I recommend both. They're available on Rogers On Demand right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunkyb Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sideways is a good suggestion. However I just saw a wine movie that rivals it. Watch Bottle Shock. It's on Netflix of you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm a big fan of James Garner, so I'll also add a couple of his, from the 1960s: Grand Prix and Support Your Local Sheriff!.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deranger Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The Union: The Business Behind Getting HighThe BEST documentary on marijuana I have ever seen (I've seen 3). Very well put together and lays out clearly why the arguments for the continued prohibition of marijuana is ridiculous. Absolutely credible and by the end, entirely frustrating. I highly (ha!) recommend it. its on netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 A Boy and His Dog - Stapes reminded me how f'ing awesome this was at Xmas time. One of Don Johnson's first movies, one of Harlan Ellison's best short stories. With a f'ed up twist in the middle. haven't been watching muchy telly lately - hmmm...here's some I can think of:Bronson (2009-not about Charles Bronson)Super 8Fantastic Mr. FoxWhatever WorksMiddle MenTucker & Dale vs. EvilX-Men First ClassTV?Porlandia (awesome - very Kids in the Hall)Life's Too ShortTodd & the Book of Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Has anyone seen Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close? I've heard mixed things. Wondering if it's worth the time. I rather enjoyed the book, but I'm not so sure I want to see the movie. Sandra Bullock makes me want to punch myself in the groin repeatedly.

TheSloth Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Bronson (it kind of loses itself at some points but if you like hyper stylized movies it's great, I loved it)Portlandia is great as well. Put a bird on it!Pretty much what Tasha said, I liked Tucker and Dale vs Evil but I’m a horror movie buff and it's a fun take on the genre. Speaking of which, if you like over the top gore, check out L'Interieur (2007). I was operating under the pretense that I'm desensitized to everything but that film taught me a lesson.
