Grantz
List of
My Favourite
Movies.
|
|

Below
you will find part of my DVD collection. I
would recommend anyone of them to you as a
good film worth screening. GrantzPlace
rates stuff out of Ten:- 1-2 is
JUNK & makes a nice coaster.
3-4 is a FISH, watch it and toss it
back. 5-6 is a BIRD it really flys.
7-8 is a KEEPer & worth having
in your collection. While a 9-10 is
a MUST see movie and should be granted a
viewing at your soonest convienience.
Happy Watching GB

Glenn
Holland: Playing music is supposed to be
fun. It's about heart, it's about
feelings, moving people, and something
beautiful, and it's not about notes on a
page. I can teach you notes on a page, I
can't teach you that other
stuff........... Mr Holland's
Opus.

National
Treasure..2004.PG[xx]W-126m.
This excellent adventure film is by far
Nicolas Cage's best film untill the sequel
came out, which is also wonderful. Chasing
clues all over the world, fending off bad
guys and protecting priceless documents.
This is a DVD you will want to see many
times.

The
Australian Ratings board uses 'G' 'PG' and it
becomes an 'M' for Mild to Frequent cause
Language.
While a movie rated 'MA' or 'R' will have excessive
Violence, Nudity, and/ or bad Language.
The American
Rating System only has 'G' 'PG' and if a film uses
F** over 3 times becomes an "R" rated
movie
|
Rated
'R'.
|
Thesefore
these Great Movies don't make the Cut
because of Language.
