Bab's, I suppose I understand. In a sense I suppose "Horror" isn't limited to human acts of disgust.. I enjoyed twister, and Jaws, Now Towering inferno I suppose was meant to be suspense, yet I guess in a way movies such as that are "Horror" movies too... So those I do enjoy... Yet today Bab's.... You really have to be careful...While I LOVE a good suspense thriller, I don't want to see the scenes you spoke of in "The Hills have eyes"...So I suppose the best we can do is comb thru the reviews, realizing that if there's something that's really repugnant taking place, other's will likely have stated their disgust in reviews someplace, or there WILL be a content advisory listed for those that have a tough time with sensitive issues (listed in reviews).... I subscribed to the blockbuster "Guide to movies and video's" because I have ALOT of restrictions on what I can watch without getting upset, I ALWAYS got a really good idea at least from others, and reviews prior to seeing a movie, some are just TOO depressing. bloody. for me...
I'm not the toughest person when it comes to certain content..

One move I didn't see, and I don't know what the classification is, whether it's drama, sci-fi, chiller, etc... that I REALLY want to see is "The perfect Storm".. THat's the type of movie I love.. (at least from the little I know about it)..
Anaconda had to be the worlds WORST horror movie... .. I'm afaid of snakes, but I fell asleep during that stupid movie.

Since this is a girls thread however. There are two movies I COULD NOT watch..
Too tear-jerking. One movie was actually shown in a High School literature class, and I throw a fit afterwards, Noone was supposed to leave but it was so terribly sad, that I refused to stay. THAT was against MY moral judgement to make a male at 16 stay thru a movie that'd break him down...
The movie I'm speaking of was entitled "Sonn there will be no more me", and it was about a young mother's dialogue with her newborn.. She was writing, and describing herself to the infant that will never know her because she had a rare form of bone cancer, and would be dead by the child's 2nd birthday, but she wanted the baby to know who she was, so the storyline was how she was putting things together between her and the baby, so when the baby was old enough, she'd have pleasant memories of the mother....GOD.....That to me was heartbreaking.... The struggle of the mother wanting the baby to know her, yet she realized the baby would only know her based on what she compiled for when the child was old enough to understand...
ANother movie I couldn't watch was "Love Story".... As I recall "AN affair to remember" really broke me down too !!
OF course I cried for hours after watching Bambi too, but don't tell anyone !
Believe it or not, without a movie as a catalyst, I never cry.... crazy eh ?

[font=Comic Sans MS]Steven have you see "The Notebook".......I cried.....truth is the older I get the more I cry while watching movies........I use to go to the movie rental place and ask the counter person to recommend a movie that would make my wife cry.......she liked the tear jerkers......truth be told so do I......
Where did it get to be that those types of movies are considered womens movies.....I like suspense and action flicks as well, but I appreciate a good romance......especially ones that really move me.......
As for "Love Story"..........I got a story about that movie.....ah, but that's for another thread.....[/font]

Never saw "The Notebook". Yet I'm sure some woman will at some point bring that over, and attempt to coerce me to "watch it with her", just to watch me cry. Thanks for the heads-up because I WON'T watch that now.. .
I suppose "Chick Flicks" is a slang for sensitive emotional content. Naturally a sexist connotation. A movie about war, with blood and guts or a football player is a "Guy" movie.... Yet if it's a story of love and sensitivity it's a womans movie...Guy's after-all aren't supposed to be "emotional" in our culture yet... We haven't caught up to europe yet...American males still must be stoic I suppose, because in our culture showing emotion is weak still :(....
I never liked the idea, It's no wonder we get all sorts of illnesses in our culture, we have to hold it all in !

With the invention of that "womb" bed you've been talking about it should solve that whole emotion thing for men...Gives you a place to just let it all out.....Have you considered going on American Inventor with that????

, You have no idea some of the idea's I have for inventions... I can't tell you a few of the ideas yet because I want to patent them. One of these concepts will make me quite famous assuming I can find a perverse enough production crew...
