I'm talking a thriller but for Girls!!! We'd :X if we had to watch one of those..... :P :P

Have seen both Dark Knight and Quantum of Solace ... DK was good but still not sleep over material and i didn't like QoS...

Am currently between 4 : Shaun of the Dead , The Chainsaw Massacre , the mist or The Strangers... Which 1 though..... :ermm: ??

Edit : Ok maybe that one is off the list... :P ...That still leaves 3 and they aren't that great...none of them have ratings higher than 7.8....

Tell me about it...
The Mist is alright, but serisously depressing :)
Well, the end, anyways.
I haven't seen the other two, I'd go for Shaun of the Dead.

How are any of those movies? I don't think there's a thriller that's specifically for girls.

Doesn't mean we can't like them though.

The Mist was good, but the end was dumb.

Eeee, Galaxy Quest owns much, and I most certainly didn't just watch it on youtube.

Galaxy Quest is just awesome.

Um... can't go wrong with any of Pixar's films, they're always good.
Think she'll like Basic Instinct? :P

Plot of every single Pixar movie:
Yahtzee wrote:One or more lovable protagonists have existed for some time in a stable but fundamentally flawed routine, which is shaken up by the introduction of a foreign entity, usually another character, around whom attitudes are initially hostile. Attempts to deal with this character eventually lead to the protagonist(s) discovering a new, unfamiliar world, and in doing so discover the nature of the fundamental flaw in their routine. Villains are usually introduced or only become truly villainous from around the mid-point or quite late into the film. Along the way the heroes enlist the help of various lesser characters with clearly definable quirks and at one point reluctantly enter a high-speed chase. The villain is generally finally defeated with surprising ease, and everything concludes in an emotionally manipulative ending in which routine is restored with the fundamental flaw excised.

You can't claim that Wall-e isn't good because of it's very similar plot, without claiming that with Eragon.

I like Eragon.
It's not great, It won't win any real awards, and won't be recorded in every language for preservation in history, but I like it.
The last time the storyline of Eragon (and thus Star Wars, among sooo many others) was new was in the time of the Greeks.
The phrase 'there's nothing new under the sun' is almost true...
