AE's Movie Recommendations for YOU!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

AE's Movie Recommendations for YOU!

Post by American Eagle »

Are you bored with life? Are you sick of liking the same stupid movies you've always liked? Well then I have a solution; find something new. \:D/

Here's how this will work:
(a) Pick your favorite genres; action, adventure, animation, comedy, drama, family, fantasy, musical, romance, science fiction, sports, thriller, western. Please do not select more than three.
(b) Select how many movies you would like me to recommend; 1, 3 or 5.
(c) Tell me the content level you want from the following list:
1. You can decide, AE. :yes:
2. Mature (PG-13 rated movies, some R-rated for violence and/or language)
3. Moderately Clean (nothing terrible, but some PG to PG-13 rated movies)
4. Generally Clean (PG-rated level with only minor suggestive content)
5. Only 100% Clean (Christian movies, kids movies, truly family-friendly films)
Who will go first? \:D/

Post a list of all the movies you've seen and I'll eliminate those ones. \:D/

No, there's really not a way to avoid it... telling me to suggest 7 or 10 movies will help fix the problem, though.

Shadowfax
1. Unstoppable (2010)
2. Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
3. Back to the Future trilogy (1985, 1989, 1990)

If you have already seen these, you may ask for more. ;)

"Where the Wild Things Are" is the saddest movie I've ever seen. :( But now I will plan on seeing the other two. \:D/ (and I'm not a 1900's-movie-fan, but Elijah Wood as a kid played in "Back to the Future" :inlove: )

Wow, AE, I've seen 3 out of those five movies. Unfortunately one of them was Diary of a Wimpy kid.
