Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Movies I would like to rent this summer

Please note the reference to “I� – this means movies I want to rent and watch, not necessarily my better half. I have a whole other list for him, including several that I would rather not watch. I don’t really like movies that are overly violent (Lord of War, movies like that come to mind) or with too much bad language. I just like your basic, girlie, chick flick!

Some of these are older, and I’ve just never gotten around to renting them! In no particular order…

1. Finding Neverland
2. In Her Shoes
3. The Perfect Man
4. Walk the Line
5. Yours, Mine and Ours
6. Memoirs of a Geisha
7. Cheaper by the Dozen 2
8. The Prince & Me 2
9. Monster-in-Law
10. Rumor Has It
11. The Family Stone
12. Because of Winn-Dixie
13. Failure to Launch (released later this summer)

P.S. Thanks to Mood Swing Creations, where I snagged this banner. Lots of cute ones there 🙂

  1. Dawn Said,

    i just now got mine up! 11 & 13 are on my list too. and i *just* watched The Perfect Man about 2 weeks ago! =)

  2. Wenchy Said,

    Great list of movies! I love “In her shoes”.

  3. Gail Said,

    I’ve seen 1,4, & 5!
    good list!

  4. Jackie Said,

    Finding Neverland and Walk the Line are both very good, if kind of sad too. I tend to like movies that are a little sad. We just watched the first disc of the Medium, which I liked a lot but obviously it’s not a movie…

    My TT are up.

  5. Krystyn Said,

    All great movies!! Enjoy!! My fave would be #10, but that’s because I’m in love with Mark Ruffalo!! 🙂

  6. Christina Said,

    Very nice list! I loved In Her Shoes. I expected to be disappointed because I had read the book, but the movie was actually quite good – almost measured up. Enjoy!

    Thanks for the visit!

  7. carmen Said,

    Short of looking at matthew m for two hours, I can tell you to skip Failure to Launch. But then, there’s something to watching just him for a while. 🙂

  8. Amy Said,

    I have seen # 4,5,9,10,11 and I especially loved Rumor Has It!!!! I really like Jennifer Aniston and I thought it was a great movie!

  9. ivan girl Said,

    stacy, I have watched almost all except for 11-13. =)

    thanks for visiting mine @ http://ivan-ulrich.blogspot.com/.

  10. Christine Said,

    Great list of movies! I’d like to see 7,8 and 10. I did get to see Monster-In-Law, it was Hilarious, Love Wanda Sykes, J Lo was pretty good too. Thanks for stopping by my TT! Have a great weekend.

  11. Lisa Said,

    Ooo, thanks for the movie ideas ;). Have a great Thursday!

  12. Mandy Said,

    Gosh, I’ve never heard of any of those movies lol. I need to get out more! :=)

    Mandy

  13. Ficklechick Said,

    I’ve had “In Her Shoes” sitting on my desk in it’s Netflix envelope for at least a month. Someday, I’ll get to watch movies again! I’m not sure when, but someday! lol

  14. Lady Jane Said,

    I’ve seen Finding Neverland (beautiful!), Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (cute), and the Prince & Me 2 (cute). I still want to see Walk the Line.

    Great list! I like chick flicks too. 🙂

    Thank you for visiting my list!

  15. Lynn Said,

    I’ve not seen 6,8 or 13 but have seen the rest. DH and DS going camping once a month with the scouts and so my DDs and I tend to catch up on chick flicks then;-) Finding Neverland was very good but sad….love Johnny Depp in just about anything! In Her Shoes will make you laugh and cry….not really for kids though. If you haven’t seen Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon it’s a perfect combination of love, laughter and tears;-) Happy viewing!

    Thanks for visiting my TT. We vacation in Maine quite often.

  16. Vicki Said,

    I am wanting to see Memories of a Geshia too. ekk – reading your blog I realized that I missed Treasure Hunters. I will have to catch it next time.

  17. ~ Stacy ~ Said,

    #1 – A wonderful movie; loved it!
    #4 – Another good one.
    #9 – This was a funny one.

    And there ya have it; I’ve only seen those three out of your list. I’d like to see #’s 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12, too. I highly recommend Finding Neverland, though.

    Have a grand Thursday! 🙂

    P.S. My hubby wrote up our T13 today.

  18. Laura Said,

    I’ve only seen Memoirs of those. I really enjoyed it, and I did read the book first.

  19. Kailani Said,

    I think we have 10 out of 13 of those movies at home but I haven’t seen any of them. Too bad you don’t live nearby, you could have just borrowed them from me! I did read In Her Shoes, though. Great book!

  20. Roscoe Said,

    Interesting T13 list you’ve got here, and thanks for stopping by mine earlier.

    I think your husband’s list would probably have more on it that I’ve seen than yours has … not that there’s anything wrong with that. 🙂

  21. Fatedhearts Said,

    The ones I’ve watched from the list are, Memoirs of a Geisha, Prince & Me and Monster in law, others I havent watch as well, now I’m interested in renting the dvd, thanks for sharing!!!

    Thanks for your sweet comment on my TT, Have a wonderfull day!

  22. Karen Said,

    I haven’t seen any of them, so I am no help there, but I bet Monster in Law is funny…just the title makes me LOL!
    Thanks for visiting my TT!

  23. DivaP Said,

    Love #1 and #6 too. We just finished listening to #12 on audio tape – it’s a great story! Thanks for visiting my T-13

  24. YellowRose Said,

    You picked some very good movies to see! My favorites were:

    Finding Neverland
    Walk the Line
    Yours, Mine and Ours
    And my very favorite, Memoirs of a Geisha

    Happy movie watching!

  25. Lisa Said,

    I love your list. I want to see a few of those too. Especially Faliure To Launch and the Family Stone. I love SJP. Thanks for sharing. My T13 is up.

  26. marsena Said,

    I’ve been wanting to see Memoirs, too…the previews looked so lush and beautiful. I hope you let us know if you like these movies once you’ve seen them!

  27. Courtney Said,

    I have seen #4, 9, and 13. #5, 11, and 12 are in my Queue at Blockbuster.com so I’ll be getting them in the mail eventually. Thanks for visiting me today 🙂

  28. Dawn Said,

    I’ve seen 2-3-7-8-9-10 and loved them.

    Yes I am from Utica, MS. Now I’m wondering if I know you guys:) I grew up there and my family still lives there.

  29. Pink Chihuahua Princess Said,

    I got the Family Stone from Netflix. It was really good, but my husband didn’t like it because he was expecting a comedy and its not really one. It was originally meant to be an indie film, but because it ended up with such an all star cast a studio picked it up.

    Thanks for stopping by my TT.

  30. Danielle Said,

    I’ve seen “Yours mine & ours” Its really good. I want to watch “Cheaper by the Dozen”. The previews look hilarious!

    Thanks for visiting my TT!

  31. Peaches Said,

    Wow I guess I should see these too – the only one I HAVE seen is #11. Very cute movie!!!!

  32. Colleen Said,

    The Family Stone, I just watched and at first I thought the family was a bunch of a**holes, but it has a good outcome, it’s pretty good!

  33. Ocean Lady Said,

    Finding Neverland I thought was awesome. And Monster-in-Law was a great laugh. 🙂

  34. Maryanne Said,

    Hi there, thanks for visiting. What a great movie list. I can’t believe I haven’t seen one of these movies. How lame am I? I need to see more movies, I’ve just been so out of it lately. I almost picked up Finding Neverland this week so it’s on my list. Time to go to Blockbuster!

    Toodles, Maryanne

  35. Noi Said,

    I love 3, 5, 7 too! Basically any ‘feel good’ movies. Thanks for stopping by and happy thursday!

  36. Ardice Said,

    I want to see “In Her Shoes” and “The Family Stone” too. I’ve seen “Finding Neverland” and it was good, in fact my daughter bought it.

    Thanks for stopping by my TT. Have a wonderful evening. Be Well..

  37. Sherri Said,

    Walk the Line was one of the best movies I ever saw!! We’ve also seen and enjoyed Finding Neverland and Failure to Launch. You’ll have to tell us how the Prince and Me one was…I’ve thought about renting it a few times.

    Thanks for visiting my site:)

  38. Susie Said,

    Stacy, if you’re anything like me, #12 will make you bawl your eyes out. 🙂 There’s just nothing like a good movie with a sweet dog as the main star!

  39. Kris in TN Said,

    Thanks for visiting my blog today! I’ve seen #1,4,6,7, 9 and 12 and they are all worth it!

  40. PixiePincessMom Said,

    I would love to see #1, 6, 11 & 13. I’ve seen most of the others on your list. All pretty good. Didn’t know Prince & Me had a part 2…… same actors & such?? Might have to look into that.

    Thanks for stopping by my TT! Have an awesome day! 🙂

  41. kontan Said,

    I’ve seen a few on your list…plan on reading Memoirs of a Geisha this summer

    thanks for stopping by

  42. GreekGoddess Said,

    I’ve seen a few but most of them I wanna rent too this summer 🙂 Great list

  43. nat Said,

    The only one of those I’ve seen is “The Family Stone,” and it was much better than I thought it would be. Have hankies ready, though!

  44. kaye Said,

    i have to see #13 too

  45. Karen Said,

    I love Walk the Line- we don’t do too many chick flicks- I’m over ruled by testosterone around here!

  46. peri Said,

    walk the line was sooo good!

  47. Christine Said,

    This is a great list of movies. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I really liked “In Her Shoes.” It was a great chick flick.

  48. tnchick Said,

    1. Finding Neverland – Watched it.
    2. In Her Shoes – Not watched it.
    3. The Perfect Man – Not watched it.
    4. Walk the Line – Pretty good but leaves out a lot about Jhonny Cash – his life was so much more.

    5. Yours, Mine and Ours – Watched it.
    6. Memoirs of a Geisha- Not watched it.
    7. Cheaper by the Dozen 2 – Not watched it.
    8. The Prince & Me 2 – Not watched it.
    9. Monster-in-Law- Not watched it.
    10. Rumor Has It – Not watched it.
    11. The Family Stone – Not watched it.
    12. Because of Winn-Dixie – Not watched it.
    13. Failure to Launch (released later this summer) – Not watched it.

    So, you aren’t a lone in not seeing most of these:)

  49. Erica Said,

    Okay, Finding Neverland is incredible. INCREDIBLE!!!!

  50. samantha Said,

    ahhhhh…. “Because of Winn Dixie” has been watched at least 300 times in my house!! I have 3 1/2 year old twin daughters and that is their FAVORITE!!! I just got my Thursday 13 up… come visit!!

  51. astrocoz Said,

    We have similar taste in movies…Rumor Has It is way cute…so is Failure To Launch and Family Stone…heck, they are all really good!

    Thanks for stopping by my TT!

  52. Tracie Said,

    That is just like a list of movies that I have watched-own-or want to watch.

    Happy movie renting!

    My TT is up!

  53. KarenW Said,

    I just saw Failure to Launch. Cute movie! I am a big fan of the Love Comes Softly books by Jannette Oke. I read them all and I’ve seen the first three movies. The books and the movies differ some but both are excellent. I am waiting for movie number 4 to come out!

  54. MommaK Said,

    Do you know that I have not watched any of those movies? Wow…that’s weird!

  55. Carrie Said,

    Great movies! I would like to see The Prince & Me 2, but I always have a hard time with sequels that don’t have the same lead characters. Kinda makes me wonder if the movie was worth making in the first place if they can’t get the original to sign back on, you know?

  56. Martina Said,

    Walk the Line is a great film. One of my favorites. I also enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha, but it doesn’t follow the book exactly. If you haven’t read the book, check it out before you watch the movie.

  57. Janet Said,

    I loved Finding Neverland (what Depp movie DON’T I like???) and Walk the Line…enjoy!

    Thanks for the birthday wishes and for visiting me yesterday 🙂

  58. angela Said,

    Our blockbuster had a big sale of VHS movies and the Winn Dixie one was there for $2.99..still haven’t seen it, but I plan to in the next week or two. Also Napoleon Dynamite.
