Great movies besides Lightning Thief

First topic message reminder :

ok so almost everyone has probably seen The lightning Thief by now. Some other movies that you may suggest can be posted under this topic. **We would appreciate it if you also post what it is about (a plot or a summary) and the rating for it.(PG, G, PG-13...)

Here are some great movies I've seen:

Avatar: rated PG-13

Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant
world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker
Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in
order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich
woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs,
Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by
gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate
the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake
begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the
beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his
ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand -
and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.


The Blind Side: Rated PG-13

insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new

YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE MATRIX?

not until now.....

If you haven't seen the Blindside, get it and see it. What a testiment to every persons potential when someone cares and encourages you.
It ranks with RADIO, Remember the Titans, and others I just can't think right now.

OMG, I loved that movie, like totally awesome, Meryl and Anna were absolutely amazing as Miranda and Andy.

Still not watched the PJO movie, don't want to ruin my imagination .

The Descent 2 is really good. Pretty sure it's an 18 (dunno what you call it in America. R or something?). I'm not gonna put the plot because I know alot of people on this website are under 18 and i'm not sure it would really go with the rules :/

You should watch the movie, the awesomeness of the movie is totally worth ruining your imagination for.

Really? Christine from Blue Trident told me on Facebook that it was good; but really don't expect it to be anything like the book. Plus, i'm too cheap to go to the cinema, i'm to cheap to but the DVD when it comes out AND near enough all my computer space has ran out *cough* dooooooownnnlooad *cough-cough*

download???? lol

haha--that's how you do it cheap-style (as in using the world wide web so you could save a whole bunch of money)

yeah, but you should support PJO, i don't have a problem with you downloading other movies just PJO, cause the more box office receipts it gets the better chance of SOM getting turned into a movie, and possibly a bigger production than the lightning thief.

Great movie: How to Train Your Dragon.

Really???? cause the ratings aren't all that good.

Lord Of The Rings is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone seen it?

Artemisrocks wrote:Lord Of The Rings is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone seen it?

Yeah. I mean it's one of the greatest films ever it won 17 oscars in total.

The lord of the rings triology movies were so awesome and did such a good job of trying to stay faithful to the books. I can't wait for their production of the Hobbit which is due out in a year or so.

Yeah, I hope Peter Jackson still does a good job on directing this movie.

Well, aren't most of his movies good?

I'm a big fan of Pixar films, Pirates of the Caribein, Owen Wilson, Adam Sandle among other sctors who are in the Frat pack. I engoyes Clash of the Titans, what did you guys think? Also Avatar blew me away!

Hmm saw Clash of the Titans yesterday.. not the most spectacular film and I am very cynical knowing Greek mythology as well as I do..

The amount of stuff they got wrong... Io for a start..

Love Pirates of the Caribbean! And I'll agree with the previous few that The Hobbit will be a great film.

Yeah, I absolutely can't wait for The Hobbit.

Yeah I agree I liked the 1981 original better.

I know, 1981 Clash of The Titans is still my fave.

Yeah, but i don't know what's so attracting about it. I mean it certainly doesn't have any special effects that are dazzling or a parfait script.
