Film suggestions needed

[missmanners]

I need some movies to entertain my parents all winter. So far they like things like "My Fellow Americans" "Space Cowboys" "Guarding Tess"... any suggestions?

"Zombieland" if it's out on DVD (maybe in Jan?)

Big Trouble in Little China

Tombstone

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Airport (the original) - they'll laugh and cheer at Helen Hayes as the stowaway.

I don't know about new movies -- I usually don't watch them until they become old ones.

Space Is the Place, Cannibal Holocaust?

 

[Ishcabittle]

how about "the bucket list", "shawshank redemption", or maybe, "to catch a thief"?

 

[Blindgroping]

MMs movie criteria also suggests patriotic.

That's why I suggested Gran Torino. It's about a grumpy old man who is a hard-working American patriot, who also happens to be a veteran. What's not to like.

Nothing so grandiose --he does it to see his ill, estranged brother. Terrific movie.
