Some Good Movies, some not so good

Most of these I have watched on Netflix DVDs. (Yes, we still get Netflix through the mail.)  Some are classics and some I know I've seen before but don't remember.  These are in order that I watched them.

1. Captain America.  You know that I love my husband because I sat through this at the theater because he wanted to see it.

2. Up in the Air.  Funny and not funny at the same time. George Clooney. 

3. O Brother where Art Thou.  OK. 

4. Libby, Montana.  Documentary. Excellent but chilling. 

5. Miss Potter. Excellent. 

6. Saving Private Ryan.  Excellent but very hard to watch in places. 

7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I loved the books and the movies are remarkably true to the books. 

8. Coal Miner's Daughter.  Pretty good.  Not my usual taste though. 

9.  Braveheart.  I flat didn't like it. YMMV. 

10. Philomena. Pretty good. 

11. The Comstant Gardener.  Nope. Just didn't like it. 
  
12. I Remember Mama. So good. Warm fuzzies

13. Doctor Zhivago. I had forgotten just what a spectacular movie this was. Excellent. 

14. Charlotte Grey.  Pretty good. 

15. The Sound of Music.  Can't help singing along. 

16. The Help. Very good. Another movie remarkably true to the book. (But the book was better.)

17.  The 100 Foot Journey. We saw this in the theater. It is a pleasant movie but probably not worth the tick/popcorn/drink price. Definitely worth a Netflix view. 

18. Casino Royale. Good 007 flick. 

19. The Way. Meh. 

20. The Nun's Story. Coming from Netflix tomorrow. 


Do you have some movie suggestions?

I only watch movies on DVDS or On my IPAD and not that often.... I find books are usually better than the movies
