Hmm. I've been pretty productive today, probably because there are no longer any movies out that I particularly want to see. Picked up presents for my dad and one of my sisters (I know she'll love hers) along with a hardcover copy of Gatsby. Stopped by Starbucks and talked to the manager, so she'll add me to the schedule soon. Oh, I have to get my other sister something PotC related off ebay. Better go do that.

By the way, following [livejournal.com profile] ume_yuki's example, could you guys each rec me a movie (or two, or three, or four)? I really like noir, in case you need a specific genre, but anything works.

I'm sure you've seen it, but if you haven't - The Manchurian Candidate. Brilliant film. You should see Something's Gotta Give because it has an ad for Taking Lives and yes I'm pretty easy sometimes.

I know a movie that has Oz from Buffy and leaves you saying "What the FRECK was that?!" if you want something liek that ;)

Oh, I adore movies like that. Like Supernova (a little James Spader doesn't hurt, of course).

*tries thinks of good movies*

Arsenic and Old Lace is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, if you haven't seen it already.

The Bad Seed's extremely good.

Rat Race, more recent and quite funny.

The Mothman Prophecies. Creepy, if not extremely so. Richard Gere is...pretty good in it, but the script saves it from anything the actors could do anyway.

Autumn in New York, which isn't that great, but is amusing to mock, should you want something for that.

This is really sad, but of the movies you recommended, I've seen both Richard Gere ones and none of the others.

And Laura Linney's in Mothman Prophecies. <3 her.

My sister loves PotC too!

My fav noir films are The Thin Man (if that counts) and The Maltese Falcon. Actually, the book The Maltese Falcon is a million times better. The movie took out Cairo/Wilmer parts of the climax! Grand Hotel is also good. Wow. I'm stuck in the 30's.
