what’s the best book(s) have you read? and movie(s) that you’ve seen?
we all had a book or two that made us stop and think about things in life and a movie (s) that we can’t stop watching over and over, what’s yours?
for me it’s peaceful warrior by dan millman,”11 minutes “and “the alchemist” by paulo coelho and who moved my cheese by spencer richardson.
for movies: Meet joe black, good will hunting,godfather saga and good fellas…
What is your FAVORITE MOVIES, that you even wish that it’s not just a MOVIE: it’s truly happen in REAL WORLD?!
Let’s make it better then! You could also be involved in this “Real World”, but you’re still just you! For example, if you wish X-Men movies were real, you’re still an ordinary human-being… without Mutant power.
Personally, I wish this movies were real:
# BACK TO THE FUTURE, at last somebody really invent the TIME MACHINE…. What would Doc. Brown do then?
# FORREST GUMP, let see now… he’s surely involved in a lot of AMERICAN major events himself. Interesting, huh?
# GOOD WILL HUNTING, the most intelligent man in the USA?Without any doubt!!
# all HARRY POTTER series, so we’re the Muggles here… who knows what would happen had Lord Voldemort won? Hopefully, he did NOT!
# MISS CONGENIALITY, so that I could see Agent Gracie Hart/Gracie Lou Freebush (Sandra Bullock) became the Miss Congeniality…. She’s totally a knock-out in that movie!
# all ROCKY series, watching him makes me really believe in America! If Rocky can be somebody in this country, so can we!
# THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, at last our politicians understand the threat of Global Warming toward our world…. My only regret is that we all have to learn it in hard way. We lose half of our country, but we all surely learn something from our mistake on the past….
All right, these are some of my favorites. How about you then? Mind sharing it with me?

What movies would I like based on this list?
My netflix queue is fairly shallow right now.So I’m wondering if you guys have any suggestions.I’m really kind of just looking for generalized since you liked these you should watch these type.I have plenty of suggestions on netflix, but asking can never hurt.Not really looking for just a list of the current box office draws, as my list is hardly current or mainstream hollywood.
These are the movies I’ve seen this year and really enjoyed.If you haven’t heard of something, get a plot off of imdb, because if I add descriptions this will just be too long.
