"The Tourist" is not worth watching. Too slow. Angie looks too old. Rating 2/5 from my side.

I did not hear good reviews about 'Tron' so far from 'my colleagues'. It can be skipped, they say, so is 'The Tourist'

re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)

My top 10 goes like,
1. Flash of Genius - A true story about intermittent wiper inventor and how the Ford guys dodged that guy.
2. Kill Bill - I'm a Tarantino fan.
3. Pulp Fiction - Same as above.
4. Schindler's List - A classic war movie from Spielberg.
5. Blue Streak - Martin Lawrence at his best.
6. Changeling - A true story again. Must see for Jolie's fans.
7. The Hangover - Hilarious.
8. The Departed - A classic epic from Martin Scorsese.
9. The Pirates of Silicon Valley - I am waiting for a movie on Jobs. This is the closest one.
10. Reservoir Dogs - Tarantino again.

re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)

watched the following over the weekends.

1. Unstoppable. A so-so movie, unusually stretched. Denzel is good as always.

2. Incident at Oglala, A documentary about Leonard Peltier.

Devil-
Devil (2010) - IMDb

Interesting thriller. However the end was abrupt and kinda not to my liking. Still good one time watch.
Rating-3/5

re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)

Anyone watched "Dirty Dancing"? A great movie from the 80s. Great music from the 80s. I felt that Dil To Pagal Hai was kinda based on this theme.

IMDB rating is 6/10. I would like to give it like 8/10.

Dirty Dancing is a classic. You can't go wrong watching that with some chocolate by your side, really!

*starts humming* /I've had, the time of my life (PS: Stone the Blackeyed Peas for attempting to ruin this number!)

Of course! Dirty Dancing is a classic. I was surprised that its not discussed on this thread in the last 214 pages.

And seriously Black Eyed Peas murdered that song.

Really very nice movie!

+1. I saw this movie about a month back and was really awed by the closeness to reality of this movie and yet interesting to watch.
