I have a free Redbox movie code to use for my birthday. Any one have a recommendation. We do not go out to movies much..so few seem to be worth the money! I know sex and violence sells, but for me, not so much!

don't know if you are looking for new movies or old, we just watched Marty (from the 50's) with Ernest Borgnine. What a great story, good acting, and it won 4 Oscars.

Secretariat has been showing on Dish recently. Love Diane Lane in it. Great movie for all ages. :thumbup:

Happy Birthday!

what kind of movies do you like?

I recently enjoyed "The Kings Speech."

watch the Harry Potter movies, in order. Pick your favorite actor (Robert Redford), or go to IMBD movie database to research oldies but goodies, for example, search for Charlie Chaplin or Jane Fonda, or Hugh what's his name....

"Dr. Zhivago" if you want vintage. I can watch that anytime.

My vote for recent is "Secretariat" - I went to see that 3 times at the theater - wonderful, well made and clean entertainment.

I recently watched Burlesque with Cher. It does a good job of showing what the old shows like that were and I love musicals. If you like drama the Lincoln Lawyer was quite good also.

Steel Magnolias & Radio with Cuba Gooding...actually, all CG movies are good.

i'd like to suggest The King's Speech. I just love anything with Colin Firth.

Pride and Prejudice - the Kiera Knightley version - is my movie of choice right now.

What kind of movie are you looking for?

The one movie that surprised me as being very good was Avatar. I watched it with the feeling I wouldn't like it at all but I sure was wrong. Great movie.

Oh that was really good, and I didn't think I'd like it either. Good suggestion!

Have you seen "The King's Speech" yet? I really enjoyed it!

My husband who is a shot 'em blow 'em up movie type even watch Avatar and he definitely does not like the sci-fi movies and said he really like Avatar...it is really a love story...very good movie.

I just watched The Proposal - a romantic comedy, easy viewing and enjoyable
My favorite all time movie is The Third Man - an oldie with Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton
For a multi part movie - nothing beats Colin Firth's Pride and Prejudice

The Kings' Speech is a fine watch

I loved Avatar, The King's Speech,and I also have my favorites:
Princess Bride, Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, Secret Garden (the original), Little Women, Meet Me In St. Louis. I too, don't like violent (ultra) or cussy movies. Enjoy your gift! Get out the popcorn!!!! Edie

Thanks all...I believe we will go with The Kings Speech...and for the record we have seen most of the older ones mentioned and "enjoyable!"

You will really enjoy The King's Speech!!!!! Edie

yes, this one was really good and based on something true.

Actually, My mother, age 95, remembers that time with the King and Wallace Simpson and his speech problem. It was very similar to my father's stutter. So that show made it even more informative for me. Also my father was left handed and had to change to right handed and that's when he started to stutter. Just some totally uninteresting information here. Edie

If you want a thinker Inception was excellent. We go to few movies but hubby and I loved that one

Ditto. One of the best movies I've seen.

King's Speech was great, you'l like it

A great uplifting movie is "I am Sam", or "The Other Sister".

I'll add a recommendation for The King's Speech. Also Red with Helen Mirren and Bruce Willis. Have you seen The Queen with Helen Mirren? I thought that one was good. Anything with Peter O'Toole such as The Lion in Winter and Becket.
Then, there's always Mr. Roberts (one of my all time favorites.) Some of the Harry Potter movies are good; others (like the last one) not so hot. Watch them in order. Anyone seen the latest Harry Potter?

The Kings Speech is wonderful

Rango I love watching kids movies!!

I would also recommend "The King's Speech". It is based on a true story and is a treasure.

Thanks all...turned out I could not get The Kings Speech, so we picked up "The Lincoln Lawyer" and we ENJOYED it completely. I will still try to get The Kings Speech elsewhere.

The King's Speech - especially if you like Colin Firth.

The best two movies are "The Gods Must Be Crazy" and "Fried Green Tomatoes".

"Labaranth" a movie produced by Jim Henson (puppets) David Bowie stars in it . Another favorite is "The Princess Bride". I have watched them repededly and still love them!

My favorite two movies are Out of Africa and The English Patient.
