About a Boy is my favorite on this list!! I just love it -- my boys still repeat lines from the movie. Happy New Year.

Death Trap is one of those "I'm sure I've seen it but I can't remember it" movies for me right now. Better go have a look later! Thanks for this nice selection to consider. That Steve Martin flick looks worth a try--especially because of your recommendation.

Oh yes. I've seen many of these. I really enjoyed Bend it Like Beckham, Castaway, and The Others. I'll have to check out Enemy at the Gates. It sounds like one my husband and I would both enjoy.

You have a good list of films here. "Die Hard" was the best of the series in my opinion. Happy New Year and Happy TT.

Diehard is always good for an escapist evening.

Interesting list. I found "Castaway" fairly disappointing. My hubby is a big fan of the "Die Hard" movies, while I do everything possible to avoid them (smile). Actually, Brue Willis and Hugh Grant both get on my last nerve (LOL). Hmm, I don't guess you'll be inviting me over to watch flicks anytime soon (smile).

I love All of Me and Trading Places and Die Hard. I own all of those and Bend it Like Beckham because I love watching soccer. The first 3 I'd watch over and over again, not so much Bend it Like Beckham. I'd rather watch live soccer! happy 2008 to you...

That is wild! I don't have any of these, including 2001. I have 2010.

You know how you can go your whole life without hearing about something, and then it comes up again and again? For me, that's Rat Race. On New Year's Eve, we saw a one-man show starring Christopher Petersen, the actor who played Lucy in a scene with Cuba Gooding Jr. as the bus driver. And now here it is on your list. I may have to rent it.

I agree with you 100% on The Others. Nicole Kidman is not an actress I usually enjoy, but I thought she was perfectly cast in this.

(Thanks for visiting my TT)

Trading Places is one of my favorite holiday movies,it is just too funny. Nicole was awesome in the Others. I think I would enjoy Enemy at the Gates, which I have not yet seen. Thanks for the info!

I received passes to a sneak preview of "About A Boy". I am glad I did because I probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise. I finally saw "Bend It Like Beckham in 2007. Although I could have done without the romantic relationship between the lead character and her coach, it was still a good movie.

i loved cast away a lot!!!! :)

Happy New Year 2008!!!!

Great list! Tom Hanks was awesome in Castaway. Rat Race is such a fun movie. :D

Happy TT!

Never seen Castaway, heard it was boring. :) But I love All of Me. Steve Martin is AWESOMENESS! :) Thanks for stopping by my TT.

We watched Live Free and Die Hard just a few weeks ago and loved it. Happy New Year and TT!

I enjoyed Trading Places but Rat Race was hilarious I have to say I am not a movie buff but I have watched that movie at least 3 times Happy New Year-

I love Castaway, Trading Places and Bend It Like Beckham! Great list :-)

You have alot of great movies in your collection. I loved the Others!! What an ending. Happy TT and thanks for stopping by:)

My hubby carries his swiss army knife everywhere and when Tom Hanks gives up his knife my Mr. shouts out..you deserve to be cast away, no real man would ever give up his knife!

Castaway just wasn't one of my favorite Tom Hank's movies, maybe I've read Lord of the Flies too many times...

I love that line you had about writing an ending for Rat Race, you're right about that. It is an amusing film.
Happy New Year!

Interesting. I saw the Others in a theatre and it was awesome. I didn't guess the plot until the end.

I know someone who was on the ship that features at the end of Castaway. I thought it was a brilliant movie.

I really don't like 2001. I find it incredibly boring. I admire its intelligence, but it just doesn't work for me.

I was really disappointed in how K-Pax played out, though it was a great movie.

Loved Rat Race and Bend it Like Beckham. I like the special features with the aunties and the cooking and all the interruptions.

Haven't seen the others. I've seen bits of Trading Places, but not all.

Only one TT this week--at my new blog.

I've watched most of these but my favorites are The Others, About A Boy and Trading Places. Happy TT! :o)

Once again I am perfect on your list. :)

KPAX is one of my favorite Spacey flicks. He is just wonderful.

And the Aunties in Beckham...priceless!

I could go on, but the batteries in the lap top are dying...

Happy TT

Great collection! I just recently saw Bend it Like Beckham with my daughter and we really enjoyed it!
Happy TT and happy 2008!

I love Cast Away and Enemy At the Gates and Trading Places. Good movies makes me want to do a movie night again!
Happy New Year! keep up the intersting posts!
