Welcome to my half month! I was kidding about the chick flicks (although I was tempted lol), I'm really more into dramas/thrillers and there isn't anything currently out there with Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks that I haven't seen. Anyway, I tried to come up with five movies which seem interesting and hopefully have not been seen by a majority of people. (Honestly, this was tough - too many to choose from!) Also, May 16th is just around the corner... literally. So, please vote!

Frequencies was a childhood favorite with my dad

Are you thinking of "Frequency" or "Frequencies?" The latter came out in 2013. I do love the first one, though (from 2000).

Why not moneyball TIB?

Also tell your GF sorry.

I'm secretly hoping a certain one wins but, if it doesn't, I'm going to watch it soon anyway.

Buffy @ 14/5/2018 15:07 Why not moneyball TIB? Also tell yout GF sorry. She hasn't watched any of these movies with me so far, she'll be ok. No apology for her. Moneyball was the only one i really had even heard of, i think i still liked baseball when the book came out, but now it's something i'm just not interested in anymore. I guess it's more the subject matter than the movie itself, if that makes sense.

JW because when I skimmed some reviews a lot of them started with

Spoiler	+
"I don't like baseball, but I liked the movie."

yes sir!

Do I pick the next person in the next day or so? Do we have a list?

Okay. Going by who's been participating and hasn't done it - Merc do you want the next one?
