what movies are you watching on your home setup?

I just watched (last night) the movie CLUE that's based off the kid's board game, on my "vintage theatre" I have at home. It's really a good movie, IMO. verry funny.

when your playing the board game CLUE, never be MR. Green. Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean.


What movies are you watching?


PS--think we could make this a sticky?

Sanjuro (kurosawa flick, not much good for sound but overall a great movie)
District B-13 (French flick, awesome action)

Boondock Saints (amazing for sight and sound, great action movie!)

Matrix 2 (Wish I had my subwoofer back before I watched this)

Anybody know some good movies for surround sound?

I don't watch a whole lot of tv. The last movie I saw on the HT setup couple of weeks ago I don't even remember.

The last one that I do remember was Boat House with John Cusack and Sandra Bullock. Falls into the "chick flick" category. I'm out numbered by women in the house, but I actually liked it. I prefer explosions but there hasn't been anything good lately.

"The World's Fastest Indian" -- anybody into vintage anything and the pride involved in it's upkeep and performance will dig this one.

"The Devil and Daniel Johnston" -- stellar documentary on the one and only Mr. Johnston

"Down By Law" -- with Tom Waits and by Mr. Jarmusch.

"Dazed and Confused" -- viewed this one too many times, but sick cars, music and Wooderson's lines-- it's definitely a keeper.

"Sketches of Frank Gehry" -- interesting look into the mind of the eccentric architect.

Cheers..

Watched Crank recently, thought it was hilarious, adrenaline keeps Jason Statham alive after being injected with some unknown poison time bomb. Love the scene in the convenience mart.

The Descent Original Unrated Cut 2006
After a tragic opening, thrill seeking girlfriends go on a caving trip and get trapped with some scarry creatures. Watch it in the dark with the volume up. Makes ya jump.

The classic Serpico lined up for this evening.

Pandora's Box eh? Very good.

My recent picture watching

The Departed----a stinker IMO

Flags of our Fathers----pretty good picture

Star Wars----was on HBO-HD

Serenity----pretty good picture, HBO-HD

Sergeant York----what can you say

The Fountainhead----this picture is delirious, hallaucingenic, Coop with his rock drill and Neal with her riding crop. Amazing cast and King Vidor too.

Springfield Rifle----Very interesting early 1950s Gary Cooper picture with The War of the Rebellion seen as the Cold War and the Confederates as Communists.
