What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 3

The Lower Depths, double dvd, one by Jean Renior and one by Kurosawa. Heavy. It took me a couple of tries to get through them.

Also Diabolique Whoa. Very cool. Recommended.

I get in 4-5 movies a week, rentals, library, home collection, borrow from friends, etc. I'll have to make a greater effort to post here.

Love that movie! When I first rented it, it was one of those random rents - I like John Cusack and thought what the hell - it was great!

I bought Cinderella last week.

AC/DC - Live at Donington

I expected better really. It's AC/DC so it isn't bad, but the film has a lot of artifacts in it, all the camera locations didn't impress me much and the songs are ok. Standout is Money Talks. The extras are decent but only for die-hard fans really.

The Disney, the Rock Band, or the Porn?

Disney version - first time release on DVD. Lady and the Tramp comes out in February and I am excited about that. It's so sad that I know most of these disney movies word for word.

I have small number of disney movies that mean a lot to me. Jungle Book heads the list, with Robin Hood also in the top 5. I kind of enjoyed 101 Dalmations, but am not as dedicated to it as I am to the others. Of the modern batch, the only ones that I had any desire to see more than once were Beauty and the Beast and Mulan.

Ooh. Not Lion King?

It's Mrs. Dar's favorite. I won't go that far, but there is a scene that cracks me up every time. There's a spot where Zazu is giving the morning report while Mufasa is teaching Simba how to pounce. You have to pay attention because the voices of Mufasa and Simba are in the foreground.

Well the buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot and the baboons are going ape over this.

Of course, the giraffes are acting like they're above it all...

The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't.

The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say, cheetahs never prosper...

I think Lion King is about the creepiest movie ever. I bought the DVD, but I refused to watch it alone. I don't think I've even made it all the way through. Some of my favorite Disney DVDs are - in no particular order -

1. Pollyanna
2. The parent trap - original hailey mills version
3. Sleeping Beauty
4. Cinderella
5. Dumbo
6. Beauty and the Beast
7. Mary Poppins
8. MoonSpinners - another Hailey Mills flick
9. Summer Magic - again, Hailey Mills
10. Bambi
11. Lady and the Tramp
12. Bedknobs and Broomsticks

I'm sure there are more I like, I just can't remember them right now - I'm at work.

Nope, didn't like the Lion King and just tolerated Aladdin (which owed much of it's plot and cartoon characterizations to the classic film, The Thief of Baghdad (1940).

Sunday night I watched "The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" on ReplayTV. What a disappointment. I thought there would be some great insights into the female mind, but it was more about a drunk and her daughter.

I recorded "Steel Magnolias" which I heard was good.

What other chick flicks can you gals recommend?

That's the one they recently showed on PBS, right? That was great. Joan Baez was awesome in that.

We have a pile of Disney stuff. Can't rank faves without splitting them into animation and live action categories, and even then I'd have to review some of the great new stuff to be sure it *is* Disney. Pixar is Disney, idnit?
