Have to agree on Day the Earth Stood Still. I rented it because we usually watch Cruise movies but

I watched Serenity (2005) which was a sequel to the Fox sci fi series Firefly. It was kind of a fun sci fi romp with space battles and marauding cannibalistic berzerkers. And Summer Glau was in it. I've had a crush on her since seeing her as a Terminator in the Sarah Conner Chronicles (if I were to die by machine, I'd want it to be her). I'd give Serenity a thumbs up if you don't expect high brow cinema.

No Cruise in that one, are you thinking War of the Worlds? I actually liked WoW contrary to popular opinion.

Recently watched "The Queen" with Helen Mirren who won best actress for it. I thought it was a very good film that helped me put the Princess Diana aftermath in perspective. Of course I am mildly in love with Ms Mirren despite her being twice my age so my opinion is skewed in her favor.

Just finished watching A Fistful of Dollars, starring the one and only Clint Eastwood. If you think westerns are all old and stodgy, this movie will change your opinion. I thought westerns were bad/tacky before I watched this on the recommendation of my friend, and it was very good. Great plot, and lots of action. Sergei Leone is an excellent director.

Yep, you're right, WOW is what I was thinking of.

MisterFishey, I envy you, because you get to watch Clint's spaghetti westerns for the first time. I recommend The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I plan on watching that after I watch For a Few Dollars More, so I can have seen the whole trilogy in order. Looks to be good quality movies, very highly rated on IMDB.

Me too, I thought it was quite well done.

Cruise was the one thing I didn't like about WotW. There were many scenes (the burning, runaway train, for example) that were straight from the book. Very impressive.
