I tried to avoid Cowboys and Aliens thinking it looked stupid. I finally watched it and I was surprised that I liked it.

This wasn't the first movie I ended up liking in spite of myself. I figured Oh Brother Where Art Thou? looked awful until I watched it and now I am sure it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

What movie surprised you? It gets dark early and your recommendations are welcome.

"Lawless" is a great movie, laugh one minute and cuss the screen the next.

My wife made me watch it for our anniversary- The Greatest Showman.

Lots of grit and entrepreneurial/American spirit in that movie.

I'd never seen The Shawshank Redemption. Thought it looked boring. The wife came home with it last weekend, so I mixed a drink and watched it. Pretty darn good, and I don't think I had enough bourbon to cloud my judgement grin

We have watched P,T,&A every Thanksgiving season for years. My Kids grew up watching it and still do! LOL Just watched Uncle Buck this year and really liked it. The trailers for both of these movies make them look terrible! Do yourself a favor and watch both movies, skip the trailers.

Forrest Gump which I've seen over 100 times... based on the main actor it's surprising it's good.

"As good as it gets". Never thought I would like a chick flick carrying a gay guy side story. Jack killed it!
