Greetings!

I just posted an article about Penelope, a fantasy romance starring Christina Ricci. I had seen this movie listed before, but never thought it sounded particularly interesting. Then my daughter encouraged me to watch, saying it was one of her "feel good" movies, and I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Have you ever watched a movie that you didn't really want to see, but mostly went along with it because someone you cared about encouraged you - only to find that you really loved it? I admit that I have a few of those. Fight Club is another that comes to mind.

What movies have surprised you?

The Stage Door. I was at my mom's house one weekend and she kept saying I needed to see this movie with the young Lucille Ball. I really didn't want to see it, but watched it with my mom, sister, daughter, dad. It turned out to be a really good movie!

For me, it was Boys in the Hood.

For my husband, it was Gone with the Wind.

I don't think I've ever watched all of Boys in the Hood. I do, however, love Gone with the Wind - surprisingly so...LOL...

I liked Boys in the Hood very much. I need to try Gone With the Wind again at some point - and write a review on it. The only time I ever watched it was many years ago when I was 22. I had read the book only a few years earlier and the movie was...well...just so different. lol I was very unhappy with it. Maybe I'll like it better next time - it's been a long time since I read the book last. I'd like to watch it again, but I'll wait until after I watch the movie this time. lol

Another one for me was The Right Stuff. I got it on DVD awhile back. Thought it might be dry, historical, and boring, but it was great -- very involving, very funny.

I really need to see that one. I've wanted to. I put it on my Netflix list, thanks to your recommendation. Of course, with over 300 movies on my queue, it may still take me a while. lol

OMGs, 300? Well, it's worth it. One of the best movies I've ever seen. smile

I found that to be really awesome visually. It wasn't really my "thing" otherwise. I don't like a lot of violence, generally. Which is why I wouldn't see Fight Club for a long time - and I love it for many reasons now, despite the violence. smile But I do know that 300 really made an impact and I know many people who just loved it.
