Mia Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I didn't mean that Secret Window was good because of Jonny Depp's good looks (even though it dose make it more pleaseing to the eye) I just thought it had a brilliant twist in the end and throughout the film I was gripped, try watching it again squintpinkies. Sometimes if I watch a film a couple of times I start to really like it e.g. Mars Attack I used to hate that film then one day it was on telly, I hadn't watched it for ages maybe years but I really enjoyed it and now I could happily watch it again. But then again there are just some films that you will never like for example I will never like the Dawn of the Dead films I just cant watch them they actually bore me (sorry to any die hard Dawn of the Dead fans)!!

Yowe Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Twin peaks? W-a-y too freaky to be a top ten film *shudders* I think Twin Peaks is one of the best things ever to be shown on tv. I wish I could see it all again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Fill dee boots The TV series was good, if hard to follow at times But i watched the movie on a TV with a fairly poor picture, and seem to remember being particularly spooked when it came to the bits where one scene was dissolving in and out of another scene, with people wearing weird masks if i mind right, and given the snowy picture and my lack of fore-warning it scared the be-jeebus oot o me! *I'd forgotten how good Kyle MacLachlan was until obliged to check out these old clips.
