This time of the year, are you renting movies that fit with the season? email this discussion to a friend?

Today is Halloween, and for the past week I've rented a few scary movies. Some of them aren't so much as scary, as suspenseful. I'm not into gore, so no Saw movies for me, lol. But I rented The Mist, which was adapted from a Stephen King novella. I've seen a lot of the usual scary movies like Psycho, Scream (my parents wouldn't let me see it, but I was a teen and that was my 'rebellion', whoop dee doo. I paid for it because it had a lot of gore, which as I said, I don't like.), Halloween (on TV only), The Sixth Sense, Signs... Like I said, some are more thriller than scary. I am getting One Missed Call today. Yeah, not exactly a classic, but I haven't seen it, and The Happening wasn't available. Also, if you want to see a pre-Tom Katie Holmes, I'd recommend Disturbing Behavior (with James Marsden), although not with any kids in the room.

For Christmas I like to rent Christmas movies. I watch most of them on TV. It's crazy, but the old TV movie with Dolly Parton and Lee Majors is one of my favorites. It's called Smoky Mountain Christmas and although corny, is so joyful. I also love White Christmas with Bing Crosby, and yeah I can't forget the old standby It's a Wonderful Life.

Do you rent movies with a holiday season in mind? Any scary movies you are going to watch tonight?

Hell ya I do! LOL I usually try to watch horror flicks all month but the last week of the month I go nuts and watch a whack load! Some of them are cheesie 80s horrors like Waxworks LOL they arent the least bit scary but I love them anyway....I'll be watching The Happening and One Missed Call tonight for sure as well as a couple of flicks on Fearnet like Midnight Meat Train and I dont know what others but its definately on the menu of "Ravens things to Do for Halloweenie" Of course Nightmare Before Xmas if its on (I really need to buy that movie), can't have a Halloweenie night without Tim Burton movies LOL

At Xmas the only things I need to watch are of course the classic Xmas cartoon special like Snoopy, Frosty and Rudolph...and IF I get a chance I try to watch the Nutcracker Suite and have watched it ALMOST every year since I was a kid and taking ballet myself....I like some of the funny Xmas movies but I've never been one for the traditional Xmas favs..


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15263)   ranked 51 out of 11,360 in watching movies  1 year ago

I can't believe I've yet to see The Nightmare Before Christmas. For years I've heard how good it was and I've not ever taken the time to rent it, or watch it on TV when it airs.


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15263)   ranked 51 out of 11,360 in watching movies  1 year ago

I have not seen The Happening yet, but I did see One Missed Call. What did you think?

I'm not a great one for slasher, gore Halloween type movies but will watch movies on a "theme" with Halloween...like Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, Interview with the Vampire (heck if vampires looked liked Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas I'd love to be bitten...heehe) Another good "pagan" type of movie to watch is The Mists of Avalon.

Oh don't get me on about Christmas type movies...what would Christmas be like without A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman...yikes the list is endless there.
Nope I don't rent the movies..have them all either on VHS tapes or DVDshappy


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15263)   ranked 51 out of 11,360 in watching movies  1 year ago

My sister loves Practical Magic. I think she has seen it ten times.

My mom can't go through Christmas without at least seeing A Charlie Brown Christmas once. I admit I like it too.

No I have not got any scary movies to watch for tonight, but all week I have been watching a ghost hunting programme called "Most Haunted" and it has been on live all week with them hunting for ghosts and doing various experiments. They also have webcams so that we can look for spooky happenings at home and so that is on tonight so I am watching that. It is very cool!

I am not into horror movies and don't like them at all. I don't like to see things
that are scary. So I stick to normal movies.

I love halloween though and will be giving out candies tonight and I am looking
forward to it. I love to see all the kids dressed up.

I probably will have my TV off and just listen to some music as the kids are coming.
I am excited about it.

Alrighty then, talk to you later,
your friend, chris thumbup

I've only seen Disturbing Behavior. I'll be glad when The Happening gets available off the waiting list on Netflix, and I want to watch One Missed Call tonight. I didn't get to last night!: ( Do you have any scary movie recommendations to me?


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (9610)   ranked 1,618 out of 11,360 in watching movies  1 year ago

Well, you asked for it so here goes...I like the classics like Chucky and Freddie (Nightmare on Elm Street Series), and Hannibal series. For suspense I like Stephen King's Salem's Lot and the Grudge 1 & 2. For make you think my all time favorite is The Skeleton Key...that one had me thinking for days. For blood and gore I found a series called After Dark Horrorfest...there's 8 movies in the series and I have 2. They are pretty gory so not for the faint of heart or stomach and you definately don't want to be eating while watching them. I hope this helps you out.

I have seen the mist its a good movie although I prefer other films of Stephen King such as Misery, Dolores Clairborne. I have read his novels and watched them as a movie too. I like thrillers and suspense, however I have been given Little Britain dvd a british comedy which i am looking forwards to watch. © ronaldinu 2008

I've been fascinated by this new technology. To answer your question, yes, I have been renting movies for the season. I plan to watch Primary Colors this weekend, but I'm watching ReCount.


myLot reputation of 86/100. itsmefaith (2236)   ranked 45 out of 11,360 in watching movies  1 year ago

Oh, Primary Colors is a great movie!! Good one for this election season, I would say.
