Recommend me movies a women would love to watch

[rhianna813]

Recommend me some movies to rent. DH seems brings home these types and I need something different!

Kids movies for DS
Blockbusters like Harry Potter, Pirates of the Carribean, Twilight
American Pie-Knocked Up-Hungover-Makin A Porno-On the Pineapple Express
Sci Fi – ok not sick of Sci-Fi yet but we’ve probably seen them all
Anything involving super heros, comic books, ninjas, guns, swords, lasers and violence

I am not into “romantic comedies” unless the stars have amazing chemistry. And no total tear jerkers. I like mystery/intrigue, spiritual “sixth sense” types, strong female leads, historical/cultural and quirky films.

Recently watched Angels &Demons, Julie & Julia and Australia; if that gives you an idea.

DH will bring home movies if I have titles. Thanks for any recommendations :-)

Thanks!!

historical/cultural and quirky films

Two that I enjoy that I think would fall in to this category are Gosford Park (starring Helen Mirren, among others) and The Dish (starring Sam Neill).

Do you like “foreign” or films from else where than Hollywood?
A really wonderful film is Caramel by Nadine Lebaki I would think it is definately more of a woman’s film, but DH enjoyed it too. http://yalibnan.com/site/tv/2007/06/...r_by_nadin.php

Also films by the Spanish Filmmaker Pedro Almodovar like Talk to Her,All about My Mother, Volver

Anything by Sally Potter.

I thought of a couple more fun costume pieces:

Impromptu
Dangerous Beauty
Dangerous Liaisons
Topsy-Turvy

And a neo-noir with strong female leads:

Bound

Ooh my goodness, yes!

This movie was wooonderful!

For quirky...

Strictly Ballroom. It starts out like a mockumentary, but gets going into a fabulously quirky love story. (I don't like romantic comedy usually. This one is so fun, though.)
