Custom Movies For My Followers!



I think I’ve gotten to know many of you quite well through the blog world. One of my favorite things is to tell someone I know about a movie I think would particularly be one they would enjoy. Hooking people up with the right movie is a fine art. I’m going to try to hook up some of my regular commenters with the movie they “must see.” Let me know if you’ve seen it or if you end up seeing it. I’d love to see how accurately I picked a movie for you. Mind you, these are all of the horror/SciFi/Fantasy genre.

NOTE: If for some crazy reason, I didn’t get regular commenters on my list, please let me know and I’ll hook you up with the right movie for you.

  3. Thanks much for doing this Autumnforest!!
    I will definitely check out "Reign of Fire" and het Matthew is kinda cute too:-)
    Like Gummerfan I had completely forgotten about "The Car" and "Peter Proud" -I would actually like to check out the Proud movie again as I was very young when I first saw it.
    It was very kind of you to do this-as it was with your Christmas wishes and short stories-During my coming (dont know exactly when) three weeks off blogging I hope to get better caught up on friends work-and I should think of some fiction/non-fiction each of my blog friends might enjoy-so thanks for giving me that idea!
    best to you as always my friend and i hope to chat soon!!

  4. Yep, I thought Signs was great! It was such an awesome title too - you go in thinking the title is a reference to the crop circles, but by the end of the movie, you realize the 'signs' are the signs from God that lead the Mel Gibson character (can't remember the character's name) back to his faith.

    Good choice...some of those other one's sound pretty good too!

    I think I went through my whole childhood up until my teens madly in love with Michael Sarrazin. Oh, heck, let's admit it--I had a crush on just about everyone, but he was my most "ideal" guy when I imagined a guy I'd like to date.

  9. @eloh; it's very dark and moody and spooky and the relationship between soldiers is a complex and interesting one. This was my favorite soldier-themed scary movie.

  10. SWEET! Yep, this is a GREAT pic for me. Never seen it, never heard of it, but guess what? Immediately went and loaded it in my Netflix queue. THANKS for listing all these. You are SO funny how you can suggest for all your different followers. I might even check some of theirs out.

    (Or was reminded of ones I enjoyed in some cases. Like Reign of Fire...I liked that movie, and not just for the eye candy. Matt's cute, but I'm also a nut for Christian Bale. And both in one movie? Be still my beating heart!!!!!!!!!! ;)
