What summer movies are on your "must see" list?
We're anxiously awaiting Harry Potter opening July 11.
Tonight we're going to an advance screening of Evan Almighty. It looks funny and we're looking forward to it!

Audie, are you going to see this animal zombie movie? :wave:

Sorry, I just don't get the whole zombie movie thing.:idontno:
I don't like seeing the undead walk around trying to eat body parts. :floor:
I did watch Sean of the Dead a little.
That was funny, but I didn't see that scene Skunky is talking about.
It is right at the end. Audie, have you ever been to the mall in Pennsylvania where they filmed the original Dawn of the Dead?

A Zombiefest sounds cool to me. We'd probably lose half of the crowd though. My husband and I own several B horror and sci fi movies. But they really are fairly good. I have the old version of 13 Ghosts. We have the movie Frogs, filmed at Eden Gardens, the old Early Show classic Tarantula, the Mysterians, Black Sunday, the original classic The Mask, another Early Show classic, Island of Terror, Earth vs. The Flying Saucers, The Atomic Cafe, Terror in the Haunted House, The House of Seven Corpses, and Killers From Space.
Plus I have a bunch of newer movies hidden away in our spare bedroom. Or they would be borrowed by friends at my husbands work. The one I love the most of them is the Haunting with Liam Neeson and Owen Wilson.

my tastes run more to the bad, and i do mean bad, offbeat indie movies, or even better - the terrible movies that were shown at the drive-ins back in the day 😀

I never got to go to a drive in movie:(

i'm so sorry for you my young padawan friend....
some of my fave memories from childhood are going to the drive-in with my mom, and my cousin.
of course we didn't see the drive-in porn like i collect, but mostly disney movies

Drive In movies were the BEST. Remember the little mosquito coils that you could light that were SUPPOSE to chase the mosquitoes away? :lol:

A Mighty Heart. Angelina Jolie is the most amazing woman ever!

yes - they seemed to attract them tho, huh ?
we would always pop a grocery bag full of popcorn with lots of butter and salt, and get carry out pizza to take with us, along with a cooler of beverages - nothing beats cold pizza and drive-in popcorn ....

Why is it the simple things in life are what stick with us and bring a smile to our face?

because life tends to be so complicated....

You speak the truth!!!

Waaaal, you could go sit on the lawn at Seaside or Rosemary Beach and watch the outdoor movies and pretend it's a real drive-in. (It's actually kinda funn if it's a funny movie like Herbie and the Love Bug. 😀 )

I love zombie flicks, but you gotta admit there was one serious gore moment when the zombies snagged that guy out of the pub and 'disassembled' him:lol: Shaun was a masterpiece:cool: Rapunz was lukewarm to the idea of seeing hot fuzz, so I am waiting for the dvd as well.
It was totally worth seeing it in the theater!
SoWal Insider
We go to the drive-in sometimes if there is something we really want to see. The drive-in theater here doesn't take us 10 minutes to get to but an arsonist set one of the screens on fire one night about a month ago and now there is one less. :angry: I don't know whether they will replace it or not.

I loved Shaun of the Dead!
I liked Knocked Up quite a bit. Funny, and good chemistry.
I liked Oceans 13 better than 12, but still not as much as 11. I like all the actors and actresses--and Don Cheadle graduated from my high school. ;-)
I'd like to see 1408, but not alone.
Transformers reminds me of when the kids were little but I don't have any great desire to see it.
I'd like to see Sicko but will probably wait for the rentals. I do not always agree with Michael Moore's filmmaking methods, but I can't fault his subject matter, nor his convictions.

Cil, I am going to the 2:25 showing of 1408 alone. Hubby will be leaving a little behind me to go to work. I'll let you know if it was worth seeing. 😀

The whole swim team used to go every weekend when I was a kid- our coaches would pack us in pickups and station wagons! We had a blast...wish there were more drive-ins around. Now that I think about it, I wonder how much the parents paid the coaches to take us to drive-ins every weekend? :lol:

That was where we went on the weekends in groups. Either with the girls or with a date. One time, we piled a bunch of girls in the trunk of a Buick Electra so we could get in cheap. I was driving and when we parked, I went to the trunk and dropped the keys. I told them I couldn't find them. 😀 They were freaking out. As you can see, I haven't grown much since high school. :wave:

My very first date was at the Drive-In. I got grounded for 6months because I "didn't know what movie we'd "seen". :floor:

Movies I'm looking forward to this summer:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Live Free or Die Hard
A Mighty Heart
Ratatouille (yeah, it's a kids' movie.... so what? It's about food.)
Hairspray
The Simpsons Movie
The Ten
The Bourne Ultimatum
"You've got red on you."
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Live Free or Die Hard
A Mighty Heart
Ratatouille (yeah, it's a kids' movie.... so what? It's about food.)
Hairspray
The Simpsons Movie
The Ten
The Bourne Ultimatum
did you see shawn of the dead ?
"You've got red on you."
hmmmm......can't remember
I never got to go to a drive in movie:(
I only went to one. I was working at a camp in Colorado in August when I was in college. The summer staff piled in the back of pickup trucks and went to a local drive in. Here's the catch--we were freezing!!! It was either "Sister Act" or "Sister Act II." I don't much remember because I was scrunched down in the quilts and blankets...
I'm so looking forward to the new Harry Potter. Of course, I've already managed to miss "Pirates 3" and "Spiderman 3," but I managed to see "Shrek the Third." (Laughed my butt off, but I'm a complete dork. The key to seeing those guilty-pleasure type movies is having teenagers on hand to see it with you. You can laugh all you want and don't have to be cool about it. They think you're a complete dork, but they end up laughing all they want, too.)
I really want to see "Oceans 13," too. I'll probably just GO sometime this week.
Did I really just write all that about movies? Sheesh. I've been doing too much homework today.

I love the comments about drive-in moives.My dad thought of them as a den of sin, so I would have to sneak and go. Nothing quite like sitting outside watching a movie....in lawn chairs in the back of a truck!:😀 :floor: Good times! Good memories!
We have 2 drive-ins within 30 miles. May try to go to one this summer and relive my youth.

there are movies out on dvd's called drive-in discs. they have the bad b monster movies from the 60's on them, and they have the ads at the beginning for the concession stand, and you can hear people walking on gravel, and stuff - they are cool.
