I need recommendations on movies to watch.
I can't be awkward because my mother will probably be watching
I'm considering maybe 9, the book of Eli or the hurt locker
Are these movies any good and not awkward.
Any others you guys reccomend?

Forest Gump.

/thread :gun:

I just re-watched Pulp Fiction, one of my favorite movies, but I wouldn't recommend watching it with your mother. If you've never seen it though, ditch your mother one time and rent it out

Now that I think about it, most of my favorite movies wouldn't really be suitable to watch with ones mother... I guess that say a lot about my tastes?

I haven't seen 9 or the Book of Eli, but I did enjoy the Hurt Locker. I probably liked it because it was sort of similar to Jarhead, another great movie - but definitely not one to watch with your mother. From what I can remember, there isn't anything particularly awkward about the Hurt Locker. Maybe a bit of swearing - the movie is about soldiers, after all - but nothing to extreme, iirc.

Ok I think the hurt locker is on the list to watch

9 is ok, pretty standard Tim Burton fare to be honest. Book of Eli is terrible. Never seen the hurt locker.


Watch In Bruges and Bladerunner, two of the best films in my opinion.

I'll check them on imdb.

Pans Labyrinth! It's a great film - no swearing that I can remember and nothing sixy, although there's a slightly gory bit; don't know if that might not be your mum's cup of tea (it's only a 15).
Or Scott Pilgrim. Everyone loves Scott Pilgrim.

In Bruges looks good...

Just thought of some more films, how about
The other guys
Kick ass
The A team

I agree with this. Scott Pilgrim is an excellent movie, and if you haven't seen it do so immediately.


Kick Ass is also another great movie, but probably not one to see with your mum. There is a lot of graphic violence, I think a fair bit of swearing, and some raunchy scenes. Great movie though, you need to see it.

I, personally, thought the Other Guys was pretty cheesy and didn't find it funny. Depends on your sense of humor I suppose.

The A-Team is decent. Not amazing or anything, but entertaining enough. Pretty funny at times, and some good actions scenes.

A-Team was awesome IMO.

Hurt Locker was Meh.

Book Of Eli was okay.

Has anyone seen 9

I thought the Hurt Locker was pretty good - no where near as good as Jarhead, but still good.

I'm trying to remember A-Team better - I saw it quite a while ago. I remember my impression was that is was just the ordinary action/comedy film - pretty good, but nothing innovative or unique. What did you enjoy about it?

The A-Team was bad.
Hurt Locker was pretty good.

9 was okay. Bit depressing in parts but you could definitely watch it with your mum. Its just standard Tim Burton. :shrug:

not In Bruges, gah, it's dumb, and it's also got some needlessly over the top violence in it,

i tend not to go for light entertainment myself, but if your mum doesn't mind a bit of sci-fi the revamped Star Trek movie is very entertaining

First of all, I recommend taking my word for it and watching these with as little prior knowledge as possible. I find doing so improves the experience :happy:. My way to achieve that is to keep a list of things to watch at some stage, and (basically) watch things when I don't remember what they are . These suggestions will only be awkward if you're too immature to watch them .

Coraline is a great film, enjoyable for all ages. Its based on a book by Neil Gaiman, I suggest watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQC0QVXa33o rather than reading anything on IMDB. And, yes, buttons are relevant to the plot. In addition to the great story, a damned good reason to watch it is that it was filmed completely in stop-motion! What makes that impressive is the fact it was released in 2009, is a full hour and a half long, and looks amazing.

The Princess Bride has so many awesomely quotable lines that I won't get myself started. Its parodies, avoids, and generally plays with a lot of cliché's and things, while a remaining great adventure story that's loads of fun. If you haven't watched it already, do so now.

The Toy Story trilogy should need no introduction.


Might have some more for you in the morning, these (the first two, really) are just the ones just the ones which sprang to mind .

Among recent movies, "The King's Speech" was better than I expected. "Toy Story 3" was also good; it's not really a kid's movie, the emotion in it about growing older would only be understood by advlts.

Rent the movie "Wall-E", that was good also.

Kung Fu Hustle

The Prestige!

I've recently taken into watching the Harry Potter movies again, and I must say, they're pretty awesome!

You could also watch The Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

You can watch Daniel Tosh Completely Serious stand up. Its an hour long I think. He is really good.

My girlfriend is Korean for this joke. And we met online and people make jokes about it but thats not how Ebay works. You research, wait for one without a reserve, none of this Buy It Now.

My girlfriend said hes a jerk for that joke :facepalm: I think hes just cleverly reminding people that human trafficking is an issue.



:goodjob: @ LotR

Very very good movies. The last one is my most favoritist.

Fantastic Mr. Fox gets the highly coveted Spork Stamp of Approval.

The Iron Man films are good fun. District 9 is excellent if you're into sci-fi/alien films. My Mum probably wouldn't watch it though - if it doesn't have Kevin Costner in it, she's not interested. If your Mum's like mine, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the way to go.
