There are a couple of movies coming out that I'm looking forward to. These two in particular:

'We Bought A Zoo' Trailer - YouTube

^There's something about this one that reminds me of Secondhand Lions. One of my favorite underpublicized movies. :)
And a great quote:
"All you need is 20 seconds of incredible courage. And I promise you something great will come of it."

AND this one, which I'm pretty sure I'll need tissues for :):

The Vow Trailer - YouTube

What do you want to see?
 
Doesn't Courageous come out soon?

I saw Courageous a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it! The company's production level is really coming up, as well as the plot/story lines.

I cried through about 2/3 of the movie. Everytime I thought I could stop, I started again! haha Very touching stuff..

And the police chase/fight scenes are extremely realistic. Moreso than I have seen in most high budget movies where the cops have unrealistic resources at their disposal.

I highly recommend it.
 
I hear that THe Notebook warms the hearts of girls... soo.... pshhhh... hahaha... lol...Im sorry!!! But yea../ thats just what I hear!!!
But I would just prefer to watch tv Christmas specials, charlie brown... in particular and some other ones... :)!!!

I did like The Notebook, but I've seen it a couple of times now, so there's no more crying. haha

I am expecting The Vow to be as good as The Notebook. I hope I'm not disappointed. :)
 
A great little clip from "A Charlie Brown Christmas"...

"The true meaning of Christmas - Charlie Brown, Snoopy & Linus"

Guy flick, warms the mans heart!!! :))!!!
 
I can appreciate a good Die Hard movie as well. Always a great Christmas story! :) haha
 
"Christmas Vacation" (1989) is obviously one of the most beloved and cherished holiday movies of all-time, but for me personally the original (1983) will always be the greatest Chevy Chase comedy ever.

BEST THANKSGIVING MOVIE EVER THO? Another one with a pair of comedy legends... the must-see Turkey Day movie is 1987's "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" starring Steve Martin and John Candy. Is it Martin's best perfomance? IDK, I like to think the first "Father of the Bride" (1991) is, but this is ABSOLUTELY John Candy's greatest role... He'll have you laughing all the way through until the last 10 minutes, when you'll bawl your eyes out wishing you had someone like him to take in and invite over for Thanksgiving. And apparently MSNBC agrees with me because yesterday they announced it as the best Thanksgiving movie of all-time.

Awww that totally melted my heart! <3 I loved Linus' explanation of Christmas, I think I couldn't have explained it better :)
I loved watching Peanuts when I was little.
 
Those are hilarious, Gabe! :)

My favorite scene of all of the Vacation movies is the aunt tied to the top of the car. :)

Movies I plan to see this holiday season include but are not limited to :D : Seven Days In Utopia, A Griswold Family Christmas, A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol, Courageuos (Casting Crowns sings title song in it).

And, what's that one where Clarence earns his wings, well, hmm, that one too.
And my church does a wonderful singing and acting meld play I love seeing yearly.

---Yeah, zere, any of the Griswold 'vacation' movies show the comic genius of Cheddar Cheese (Chevy Chase). Funny, funny, stuff. Same with Peter B. in A Christmas Carol.

Ok, ladies , I will make some of you think I'm even greener (weirder?) than you think I already am, and, do note , I am what I am, and, that's not God. I am not He but I am strong to the finish cuz I eats my spinach :D but, yesiree, ladies, I like Sleepless in Seattle, movie takes place (some of the time) where I live AND another Tom Hanks/ Meg Ryan one I am sure MOST of you who get mail can guess. ;).
I like Titanic too, seen it several times. I love where Jack and Rose are swimming toward a bed frame after the Titanic has already gone down.....

Both go to get onto the frame floating in the icy cold Atlantic waters and as both go to climb on, the frame begins to sink....

Jack: we can't both get on, you get on, rose, I will just hold on in the water.
Rose: Jack, you can't do that. You will freeze.
Jack: I will be fine, Rose. You get on.

Time goes on as they laugh and small talk in the dead of night and rescuers are nowhere in sight. Then Rose goes to sleep on the frame.

Jack: Rose! Rose!
Rose: Huh. (Groggy).
Jack: Rose, don't fall asleep . You can't fall asleep. You must hold on, Rose. Promise me . N-n-never let g-g-g-o. (Jack is shivering now with every word he utters). P-p-promise me that.
Rose: Ok (still almost falling back into a cold sleep).
Jack: Rose! Promise me! You can't fall asleep. Promise me, Rose, you will never let go.
Rose: ok, Jack, I promise. (Rose is wide awake now).

A few minutes pass as Rose is now singing a song while holding Jack's hand. Rose is on the bed frame, la-dee-dah. La... Then she stops and says something to Jack, who is still holding on to the bed frame side , body half in and out of the water. But Jack does not answer her.

Rose: Jack! Jack! Wake up! Wake up!!!

But Jack has no grip on Rose's game, it's all her grip holding his. Jack is dead.
Rose then lets go of Jack's hand and he sinks into the sea. Rose is again lying on the bed frame, and, a short time later, hears a whistle sound.

It's a rescue boat doing one last pass through the waters , and, bodies, HUNDREDS of them, are dead all over the water. But Rose hears the whistle and the boat finds her.

She never let go.

-----()----

Ladies (and gents) I implore you to never, through tough times of life you might be lonely, like holidays, where you WANT to let go of God for just a bit. Don't. Never let go of God.

It is worth it, in the end. :)

Oh my, that part always, ALWAYS makes me cry :( i was watching it like a month ago, and I couldnt hold back my tears! (and i tried). Definitely a good movie...
 
I love Titanic too...even though its a chick flick :p

..and that movie with Jimmy Stewart is called "Its a Wonderful Life". I think Natalie Wood is in it too (as a child).
 
I always look forward to watching A Muppets Christmas Carol every year with my mom as we wrap gifts.

It's a Wonderful Life is always good too. :)
 
I only watch It's a Wonderful Life every 5 years or so now
Charlie Brown anything is always cool.
4 Christmases is very funny :)
