Movies That Inspire You

Requiem for a Dream was definitely one for
me. Also, Rent was beautiful. I had seen
the show in London before the movie came
out, and both were amazing.
What are some movies that have moved or
influenced you?

What Dreams May Come. It's incredible.
And MirrorMask, but not in a "wow I want
to make my life better" way. More like a
"that is so freaking incredible" way.

I'm downloading it right now. I went to
imdb to see what its about and it sounds
really good. I asked Nick if he had seen
it and he said yes and it was really sad.

Call me lame but Forrest Gump was my all
time fav. Exaggerated yes, but the meaning
was deep.

I like FG too 
But as far as meaningful to me... I don't
know. Movies are movies. They are good and
they are bad.
Books are where its at!

I like reading, too. At Borders, we get to
check two books out at a time. I'm kind of
scared to do it, though. If you ruin it or
rip it or damage it, you have to buy it.

I agree.
Everytime I read a book and later wathc
the movie i'm always disappointed . Books
leave so much more to the imagination.
However , Harry Potter moives I find live
up to the book but it's rare.

That new Stephen King movie out, The Mist.
Oh man, I loved reading that. I just know
the movie will never do that justice.
Movies rarely live up to the book and my
imagination

book did it come out of? I remember
reading it years ago and it's driving me
nuts!

Yes, it was a short story but I cannot
remember the book. I think the one with
the monkey on the front. A compilation of
short stories... I was thinking the other
day that I read it a zillion years ago and
I still know I'd hate the move version

Funny, I don't remember any of them. Well,
maybe Uncle Otto's Truck...

paint were really well done.

hmm, darn.
Because I know an elderly lady that's
looking for that book. She lost hers and
they can't find another copy. I swoooooore
she was looking for "Gone with the wind"
because she mentions it every once in
awhile. I bought it....and found out it's
not the book she was actually looking for
(She has no idea I got it tho)
Oh well, I'll still give this book to her.
