Excellent.

Hi IS, have you watched any of the other Studio Ghibli films yet?

If you need tips and suggestions, let me know, we have watched all of them many times over

No, we haven't watched anything else by them. Are there other movies in the same style? Do you have any recommendations?

 

[Andy_T]

The most famous one is likely “Spirited away”, as it won the oscar, but that is maybe for ages 10-12 and up. Same for “Howl’s Moving castle”, “Castle in the Sky” and “The Cat Returns”. “Princess Mononoke” and “Nausicaa” are for even older kids/teenagers IMO.

Great for smaller kids are “Arrietty”, “Porco Rosso, “Kiki’s delivery service”, “Ponyo” and “Pom Poko”.

“Grave of the Fireflies” I do not suggest to anybody, it is one of the saddest movies I have seen so far.

I just realize there are some I have not seen so far, that is an oversight that needs to be remedied

I would say that “Totoro” has a very special style, with possibly “Arrietty” being closest to that, but all are worth watching IMO.

A splendid film with breathtaking scenery.

Movies I Have Not Seen and What I Assume Happens in Them

 

[Amy SF]

They showed us Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri tonight. I loved all the strong performances and how one of the characters redeemed himself by the end, but it has an inconclusive ending, and I guess I’m one of those who are dissatisfied with inconclusive endings. I want a happy ending, dammit!

I rented it a while back, really liked it.
And I'm quite a fan of endings that are "open-ended" or mysterious & abrupt (if done well), the ones that make me go

I am anticipating watching RBG.

20 Weird Ways Movies Tried To Cover Up Obvious Mistakes

I think I need to take a break from my Avengers adventure. Next up would be Spiderman: Homecoming, which I recently borrowed from Jerry... then Thor: Ragnarok, which I rented recently for a second time (seen it four times now).... So, yeah, now's a good point to hit "pause"....

Family Video was having another sale... big table full of movies, 2 for $3... I bought Contagion (rented it in the last couple years... excellent & f*cking terrifying), and Old Boy (never seen it before).... So I have stuff to watch.

But I feel like I should keep renting sh*t while I have my half-off status. I was planning to watch the Bourne series again....

 

[Calliegirl]

The Boy.
Doll movies are really not my thing, but this one was pleasantly creepy, low on the gore, and had a nice twist.

Are "Shape of water" and "Blade runner 2049" worth watching? (I found them in translation and haven't watched yet)..... But i like the plot.....and music.
