Stuck at home

Cuz we are stuck within the confines of our house due to the fires it is free-range time on all media, including me and the PC. I have been meaning to post my most recent or ongoing movie favorites to give you all ideas for your Netflix (or other) movie queues. If you haven't already, check out:
  • The Fountain, this on is out there in terms of continuity, but it really does come together in the end and Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz are very believably in love...yes a love story.
  • Fay Grim, Parker Posey is awesome in this & we discovered it is actually a sequel to a older film called Henry Fool...this too is quirky, but a movie for both he and she.
  • Nacho Libre, not intellectual (at all), but totally hysterical...we let Indi watch it too and she loves it. Another Jack Black goodie...
  • Equilibrium, very much a Sci-fi film, but even I found this enjoyable....of course I am a huge Matrix fan...& Christian Bale is always worth watching.
  • Broken English, another Parker Posey film. But it's really the director's style that makes this one.

I could go on, but I'll just add that I'm dying to see the sequel to Elizabeth...which is Elizabeth, the Golden Age. I love Cate Blanchett and she was brilliant in the first...I can only imagine the second will be just as good if not better.

Let me know if there are any films out there that I can add to my queue!!

gotta respect the originality of equilibrium's gun fights... plus there's an admirable amount of underlying meaning to the movie for substance's sake
