I plan on watching The Royal Tenenbaums soon. I really liked Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest Hotel, I assume I should like that. I did see The Darjeeling Limited a long time ago but don't remember much about it, how is that usually ranked among his works?

Same here. I haven't seen Darjeeling but I think that's usually ranked pretty low among his movies

Quite a few movies I need to see from that list and here I am watching Snowpiercer

I just heard about this movie a few nights ago and was gonna watch it soon. How is it?

A bit strange. It kind of just starts, very little exposition. Really cliche too but overall once it gets going it's ok. Certainly not the worst movie to kill some time watching.

I'm about an hour and ten minutes into it now, it's quite the weird movie when it comes to tone/pacing haha. A lot of humor I wasn't expecting.

Main character's name is Curtis FYI

Ok I just finished it and it's pretty good, an ending that annoyed me but hey it set it apart from a great majority of movies.

From top to bottom:

LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring - one of my favorite movies of all time.
Memento - also one of my favorite movies and if you haven't seen it I seriously recommend it.
Harry Potter: Philosopher's Stone - love it.
Ocean's Eleven - great film.
Shrek - I like it, great animated feature.
Monsters Inc - same as the above.
Pearl Harbor - I have only seen this once, but I remember really liking it.
Training Day - Denzel Washington is very good in this, I like it.
Black Hawk Down - lots of explosions with people shooting at each other, I like it.
I Am Sam - I want you to kill. Kill. KIIIIILLLLLLLLL. Yeah, I like this one.
The Fast and the Furious - For a street racing film, it was very good. But this isn't really my type of film.
Artificial Intelligene: AI - Yeah, it was okay.
Hannibal - It was okay, but nowhere near great.
Vanilla Sky - I really didn't like this film.

Two films I need to give a second try (mostly the former), they were way too weird for me at the time so I haven't been able to appreciate them. Bill Murray ftw though.
Donnie Darko
The Royal Tennenbaums

Two films I haven't seen that I need to see someday are A Beautiful Mind and Moulin Rogue. Some of the people I knew back in 2001 who were into musicals were like what!? you haven't seen Moulin Rogue. Why!?

Mudholand Dr... never even heard of it. Is it good?

Mudholand Dr... never even heard of it. Is it good?

It probably falls into "love it or hate it" territory. The DVD came with what was basically a one sheet "study guide" from the director, and the first question on the IMDb FAQ is "What actually happens in Mulholland Drive, and when?" But yeah, it's a pretty good movie, if not overly strange. But then again all of David Lynch's stuff is overly strange.

The Royal Tennenbaums and Donnie Darko are strange movies so I'll probably give this other strange movie a peek sooner or later.

Mulholland Dr
Memento
Monster's Inc
Lord of the Rings
Shrek

All good movies.

None of you guys have seen Spirited Away?
Quite the sad day.

Ah 2001, a great year for movies.

A Beautiful Mind- Meh, a little overrated.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring- Loved it

Shrek- Loved it

Ali- Never seen it

Training Day- ok

Memento- never seen it

Moulin Rouge- HATED IT, this was one of the few films that I left in the movie theater.

Ocean's Eleven- like it

Black Hawk Down- ok, it was boring from time to time

Mulholland Dr.- never seen it

Pearl Harbor- stupid film that tried too much to be Titanic

Monsters, Inc.- ok, it was boring from time to time and isn't as entertaining as the other Pixar movies.

Vanilla Sky- ok

I Am Sam- never seen it

The Royal Tenenbaums- never seen it

I won a GBA off buying the VHS version of Shrek so it will always hold a high spot in my heart.

I didn't win anything from Monsters Inc. but I am a p. big fan of the movie.

I was 8 in 2001 so I didn't see any of the others.

Harry Potter: Philosopher's Stone - love it.

That was an option?

Herm @ 24/3/2014 5:12 Harry Potter: Philosopher's Stone - love it. That was an option?

Sorcerer's Stone and Philosopher's Stone is the same movie (:

I remember my mom surprising my brother and I with tickets to harry potter. also saw monsters inc in theaters a week before. 2001 memories still so poignant

Bryce @ 24/3/2014 19:49 Herm @ 24/3/2014 5:12 Harry Potter: Philosopher's Stone - love it. That was an option? Sorcerer's Stone and Philosopher's Stone is the same movie (:

Yeah...I know...that was a serious question. I've reread it like 10 times and haven't seen either as an option haha
