But this one is coolier then the others.

I've been watching some movies, bridge to terabithia, Stardust, stuff like that, and I wanted to know about some others.

Just fantasy/fairytale/amazing movies.

My recommendations:
Stardust
Bridge To Terabithia (saw it last night, was amazing)
Narnia (haven't actually seen, but looked good)
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Wizard of Oz
Alice in Wonderland (new one looks great)
Lord of the Rings

That's all I can think of...I really watch too many movies

I Am Legend was alright, just a one time seer for me though.

Isn't that often listed as one of the worst movies ever made?

Because of its awkward script, bad acting, unconvincing special effects (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_effect), and multiple production errors visible in the final version of the film, Plan 9 from Outer Space is often regarded as a leading candidate for the title of "worst movie ever made (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_considered_the_worst_ever)". It has also earned Wood a posthumous Golden Turkey Award (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Turkey_Award) as the worst director ever.

Pretty much.

That's why it's so good. Though I meant to list it under the "laughable" section.

My mistake. Thanks for catching it king.

So I watched a few movies these past few days.

Race to witch mountain - Was actually pretty good, despite the cheesy lines in some parts. I think it has the same girl from Bridge To Terabithia in it.
Chronicles Of Narnia: The lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe - A new top of favorites on my list. Was very well put together and had a remembering touch to it.
Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian - About the same as the first, and just about as good. Only thing I didn't like was how much more easily you can tell what is going to happen then the first.

All in all, I need more movies to watch like those. I think i'm really getting into those kind.

Race to witch mountain - Didn't like it, i mean come on, Your in an area that's similar to area 51, and the rock is there beating up guards, and not getting shot... i know it's a movie but...

Chronicles Of Narnia: The lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe ok so i enjoyed this one, but when he was on a unicorn for battle... augh...
First I thought to myself "Ok Ok, then unicorn will use it's horn to tear through it's enemies... No, instead it retreats, then get's killed...



These are my opinions Red

I highly recommend the Onmyoji (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onmyoji_%28film%29) films. Especially the second.

And I liked the Narnia films as well... my only thing was that I question the relationship between Lucy and Tumnus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vECAE6UCwOU). As cute as I think it was, I think there's some pedorific things going on there.

I watched The Last Mumzy, and tbh it wasn't that great. I watched the trailer for it on Youtube, and that pretty much showed all of the best parts in it. It was decent, but not that great of a movie. Probably not one i'd watch a second time either.

plus

Sci-Fi
Star Wars (2009 version)

I agree with all the movies I've seen on your list. However, please clarify on the Star Wars date. As far as I know, there is no 2009 version.

Seconded, but make sure you get the 1999 Thai version, where the protagonist is a deaf/mute hitman. It's eveb on Youtube.

The 2008 remake starring Nicholas Cage was pure trash. They frigging took out the deaf/mute protagonist in that one...

One of my favorite crime movies is Infernal Affairs (2002, filmed in Hong Kong). It was remade as The Departed in 2007 in America. Both Infernal Affairs and The Departed are excellent movies and I recommend both. Although they tell the same story, they do use slightly different approaches. I wouldn't say that the Hong Kong version is better or worse than the American version, they're both great in their own way.

Agreed. Nothing like a good chair-spinning Shakespeare-quoting villain to make a movie awesome!
