last 3 isn't random.
here's 3 random films I've seen.

Run silent run deep
Parenthood
Der mensch auf sontag....

but go on, it worked a treat with books a while back...

So....
Toy Story 2 (again)
Finding Nemo (again and again)
Little Miss Sunshine (that was one we didn't watch with them).

21 - Ultra-pedestrian Spaceyfest about an evil MIT professor and his pet students winning big - and inevitably losing big - at blackjack in Las Vegas. Oh, and Morpheus from The Matrix is in it too. (Memo to Morpheus: Fire your agent.)

Sex and the City - Within hours of watching this (a wifely choice), I learned that several family members of one of the actresses had just been horribly murdered. While never condoning....

I can't remember the one before that, so I can only assume it was even worse.

High School Musical - over and over and over and over and very, very annoying.....! So sugary, my teeth start itching and I feel the onset of diabetes..

Muppets Take Manhattan - Quality - could watch on my own.

Casino - Pesci at his most unhinged. Very, very good

Live Flesh and Tie Me Up Tie Me Down! by Pedro Almodovar - we are working our way through his oeuvre and finding the experience highly enjoyable. These 2 films do not have the racy content the titles suggest (for the most part).

Also an Indian film (we like these too)called Taxi 9-2-11. Brilliant comic farce.

Mrs E and I went to see Terence Davies' Of Time and the City last night. We loved it, but I can easily understand why others might hate it. It's very "cinematic" and occasionally emotionally manipulative - shots of the Albert Dock in an advanced state of decay that was addressed 20 years ago, for example. I guess living in Liverpool gave us extra reason to enjoy it but I'd still recommend it. It was also a pleasure to see it in the wonderful Fact / Picturehouses cinema in Liverpool, where it was watched in complete silence (except for the occasional laugh). Bliss!

We watched Beowulf on DVD with our son on Saturday night. An odd but curiously enjoyable film. Very sexualised and very violent (and, therefore, not really appropriate for its 12A certificate in my opinion); a long way from the original story; Ray Winstone staggeringly miscast - even in his CGI / motion-capture version; but still very enjoyable.

Before that it was the latest Ricky-Gerviase-plays-Ricky-Gervaise vehicle, Ghost Town. I loved the first 3/4s of this, but hated the end; Mrs E loved it all.

Two french films, The Grocer's Son and Conversations With My Gardener (starring the always brilliant Daniel Auteil) - both great.
And also a film called Summer with Robert Carlyle which doesn't appear to have got a proper nationwide release which is a shame because it's rather affecting and understatedly tragic.

so these may not actually be the last three I saw, but...

Quantum of Solace - Dull, and I mean really dull. The action sequences are so full of 'clever' camera work you can't follow them and the plot is so weak and uninteresting I would've fallen asleep if it weren't for all the shuffling and whispering going on around me. Plus the title doesn't make any sense; Quantum of Sausage would be much better.

Taken - Again, far-fetched and entirely predictable, but I quite enjoyed it. It didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't and the ninety minutes (or however long it was) slipped away without me noticing.

Little Miss Sunshine - After having intended to watch this since it came out, I finally got round to it. It didn't quite justify the hype but it did raise a few laughs, most notably in the last fifteen minutes or so

Who's 3.

So, 'Cars'. We both like it a lot. I recall it was dismissed fairly harshly when released as being rather dull but for a good old-fashioned tale of redemption and the value of friendship it's on the money. Coupled to that are the eye-popping use of primary colours and good choices for the character voices. Michael Keaton and Paul Newman especially.

'The Iron Giant'. Directed by Brad Bird prior to 'The Incredibles'(which is astoundingly good) and 'Ratatouille' (which I can not stand. It's about a f*cking rat.) and a fine movie. Again, good voice casting makes it. Jennifer Aniston and John Mahoney impress particularly. A striking visual tale of, again, friendship and pacifism.

'Dumbo'. Oh God. I cried buckets when they sang 'Baby Mine'. My daughter likes the 'pink eph-ants' bit. What more do you need to know?

PS, the good lady picked up the latest Indiana Jones on DVD from Asda for 8 quid at the weekend. We tried watching it last night but our DVD player kept on spitting it out refusing to read it. Does it have a taste chip, do you think?

and we have been collecting the Nestle family film for £1 codes. So the last three films have all been from that fine offer and are:

Bridge To Terabithia - not bad. Emotionally tough (for the adults - I cried for about 15 minutes) and a good narrative that doesn't depend on CGI trickery (although there is a little).

Open Season - not great. Same old CGI cartoon type thing. Not enough story to spread over 90 minutes.

Evan Almighty - not as bad as I had feared. But not good.

Tremors 3 - Competent fast paced monster movie. As good as the previous two.

Indy 4 - Probably the worst movie they could have made. If it wasn't Indy and was just another action film then I might just think it was pretty poor.

Iron Man - It was alright, nothing special but certainly not bad.

Yesterday I watched the new Indiana Jones movie on DVD and after hearing lots of moans about how terrible it was I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like the old films to me. A very good Sunday afternoon romp. The kids loved it.

In and Out - with Kevin Kline as the teacher outed by a former pupil in his oscar winning acceptance speech. I'd seen it before but had remembered the ending as completely different. Very watchable. Very flimsy.

Elizabeth - Cate Blanchette. I really enjoyed this; lots of music and not very much dialogue yet the story fairly sped along. Ecclestone and Rush both impressive in it.

A lightweight selection, i'm afraid.

Quantum Of Solace - a lot better than I'd heard. Not sure I should have taken my six year old, though...

CSNY: Deja Vu - fine, moving stuff. God, Neil Young's good when he's angry.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers - the Don Siegel 1956 version. I promised my daughter we'd watch it. The 1978 version next.

Red Road- Heard good things about it and absolutely hated it.
The Bucket List- Heard bad things about it and really enjoyed it, mainly down to Nicholson and Freeman.
Cloverfield- was just bloody rubbish.

1) The Good The Bad and the Ugly - seen it a million times, it's a film I adore, but other half hadn't seen it at all so we watched it together. She liked it but thought it "meandered."

2) Hunger - Astonishing film about the 1981 IRA hunger strikers which may be film of the year as far as I'm concerned. Brutal, avoids Ken Loach style politicizing, doesn't romanticize Bobby Sands and doesn't make the prison warders look entirely like sadists. Audaciously structured as well. Can't praise it enough.

3) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - latest Lovefilm DVD. I was amazed how genuinely nasty it was considering how old it is. That is meant as a complement by the way.

An oddly rough selection there. I do like cartoons and old romantic comedies as well...

We haven't been to the cinema in an age, the last couple of things we wanted to see (burn after reading and W) weren't screened so we mostly stay at home and make our own entertainment (oh er missus etc). Therefore the last three flicks were all second, third or, in Evil Dead II's case gazillionth viewings. Agree with ganglesprocket on TCM, a very edgy and gritty horror indeed.

1) Fargo. I discovered that my two housemates hadn't seen it and rather than chucking them in the woodshredder, decided to stick this on.

2)Cloverfield. Re-watched after really enjoying it at the cinema but the transfer to the home-market is a little dissapointing to say the least.

3)Evil Dead II. Took preference over the first film due to the 'faster and better' rule. One friend exclaimed that it was like 'nothing I've ever seen before!' surely a good thing.

Indiana Jones. Just. Say. No. It's taken me months to get the taste out of my frontal lobe. Nuclear explosion. Fridge. CGI goper. I wanted to hang Lucas and Spielberg up by their ludicrous beards, pour diet fanta down their trousers and shove crispy M&Ms up their nostrils before getting the ushers to escort them from the premises for ruining my movie-going experience. Hacks.

...Quantum Of Solace; big Bond fan, but didn't like this very much. Main flaw was the editing, which was all a bit of a blur as far as I'm concerned. Story didn't do much for me either.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (or whatever it's called); big disappointment, yeah- got to a certain point where I was getting really bored and I thought, there can't be long left...turns out I'd only been watching it for 50 minutes. It got more and more preposterous as it went along.

We were also shown 'Carry On Up The Khyber' in a 'British Comedy' lecture in university, and it didn't get one laugh for the whole film. Even a 1930s obscurity 'The Lucky Number' we were shown the week before drew more laughs.

"Of Time and the City". Taken by the GLW to FACT in Liverpool for my birthday and loved it. Am not a fan of Terence Davis, but it really worked for me.
"Quantum of Solace" - all sound and fury signifying absolutely bugger all.
"Wanted" - Jolie phones it in and the CGI boffins go mental.

...Barbie Nutcracker
...Barbie Rapunzel
...Barbie Island Princess

Of these, I think Island Princess is the best, as it has some truly marvellous "It's only a kid's movie, don't worry about the lyrics" moments...viz.

"There's so much to be seen
from my new trampoline"

Last of Sheila.
Whodunnit that dates back to the 70's and looks like it. Odd film in that all the way through it I was thinking "This is crap" and when it was over I thought "Actually it wasn't that bad." Written by Anthony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim.

Charley Varrick
Starring the great Walter Matthau. Another 70's film that I remembered fondly from my early teenage years and hadn't seen since. Small time crim unwittingly steals from the mafia.

Much to my amazement one of the characters says about Walt, "We'll get medieval on his ass" which will be familiar to fans of Pulp Fiction. It's slow in parts but has a great plot that you could see being successfully re-made today.

Stardust.
The fairly recent Princess Bride rip-off with DeNiro as a pirate. It was spoiled for me by the complete miscasting of Claire Danes in the female lead. I hate to admit it but she's just not pretty enough.

Michelle Pfieffer was the evil witch and I kept expecting her to speak to a magic mirror and ask it "Who's the fairest of them all?" to which the mirror would reply "You are...definitely."

Run, Fat Boy, Run (at my new girlfriend's flat - it was on Sky Movies Channel 94...) - amiable enough film, some very funny moments - but a touch too sentimental.

Burn After Reading (CineWorld In Middlesbrough, with said girlfriend - given the paucity of choice at Vue in Hartlepool, a 25 min car journey is sadly needed) Again, a few very funny moments - but certainly not up there with the Coen Brothers best.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (On DVD - again at my new girlfriend's flat) I really enjoyed this, despite me not being one for musicals.

CloverField

Punch Drunk Love

High School Musical, and I loved it

My last three are:

Mission Impossible III on DVD. It had a bit of a kicking when it came out, which was unfair and largely seemed to focus on Mr Cruise's boisterousness at falling in love. And the problem is? Personally I liked it - plenty of drama, a couple of nice twists and Phillip Seymour Hoffman being especially unpleasant as a villain.

The Ladykillers on TV. ITV has suddenly started showing quality films on Saturday afternoons. Sweet Charity the week before and now this. Pure class.

Quantum of Solace at the cinema. I'm a massive Bond fan, and this ticked most of the right boxes for me. Yes, the wham-bam editing did render some scenes slightly difficult to follow, but Bond films, even the poorer ones (Live and Let Die, Licence to Kill) simply exude quality in every area.

Think my last three were:

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People (cinema)
Quantum Of Solace (cinema)
Live And Let Die (vhs)

Is anyone watching less films since they did The Wire? I only got into it this year, but watched them all in about 8 weeks. Since then, films don't seem as satisfying. They're just too fast! I'm disappointed if they aren't at least a couple of hours minimum.

and while the missus is more than happy to plod through hours on end of soapy nonsense, I only conciously watch about three/ four hours a week of 'telly' broadcast live. I'd much rather watch a film or re-visist something on boxset. Twin Peaks is the current favourite 'non-film' choice.

....I don´t get to the cinema very often so I have to rely on good ol cable TV and DVDs.
Here are my last three:

The Illusionist - rather underwhelming, but Paul Giamatti is , as ever, superb.

Shoot ´Em Up - Ludicrous, but rather fun. Again Paul Giamatti chewing up the scenery.

The Orphanage- Atmospheric Spanish chiller with a magnificent central performance by Belen Reuda. She is in practically every frame.

The Mist. Silly.

The Bank Job. Rather fun.

Gosford Park. Again.

At cinema was a truly excellent British slow burner called Unrelated, the debut by Joanna Hogg. Difficult to find a weblink that that isn't a spoiler-I found it superb.

On DVD was, for nth time Godard's Le Mepris. Would be worth it for the music, the composition, Michel Piccoli and the Med, even before Bardot and the story. Allows one to be an existential hero for a couple of hours.

Recorded off telly: am watching the Life and Death of Peter Sellers. As others have commented it's not really clear what the point of film is, but Geoffrey Rush is quite extraordinary as PS.

Quantum Of Solace, (I really like the way Bond is shaping up)

There Will Be Blood,Daniel Day Lewis is absolutley amazing, even when he's not speaking he wipes the floor with other actors.

The Assaination of Jesse James. Very slow paced but ulitmately rewarding.Very good turn by Casey Affleck, and NIck Cave is in it. Result.

Also struggled to remember the last 3 but here goes

The Da Vinci Code - TV - not sure I should count this, slow, tedious on TV and voted with the off switch one hour through

Moulin Rouge - DVD - Have watched this several times, First hour or so is still great, fell asleep before the end

Casino Royale - DVD - Liked it very much and was hoping for qood things of Quantum, looks like I'll be disappointed based on above

....so I spent a day on the sofa and had myself a marathon

Deathproof - I thought Kurt Russel was a blast and enjoyed all the trash-talking and car crashes, maybe it was the fever.

The Prestige - Recommended to me above and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale play duelling magicians and I found it to be meatier than The Illusionist

Bubba Ho-Tep - taped it from the box. Magnificent, aging Elvis and a black JFK battle an ancient Egyptian mummy in an Eastern Texas old folk´s home. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Actually managed to get to the cinema recently so my last three are:

Quantum of Solace - check brain in at the door and sit back and watch. Daniel Craig is gorgeous and I would probably watch him recite the phone book! I also think he makes an excellent Bond. Bond is what it is, conspiracy, plot yada, yada, ...

W - surprisingly good. Enjoyed the performances (apart from Thandie Newton who looked like someone had superglued her face).

Talk to her - first time I'd seen it since I saw it in the cinema. Loved it as much as ever. Incidentally I would recommend the double CD set of music from Almodovar's films to any fans. Bought it in Spain so don't know if it's available here.

not something I'd thought of before but now you mention it ...

But the last three were...Trainspotting, Made in England & Groundhog Day. All brilliant I have to say.

I forgot about No Country For Old Men, now that WAS bloody brilliant. Cross off Groundhog Day.

Of Time and the City - I wanted to like it, but couldn't warm to Terence Davis's narration - really lost me with his sneered "yeah..yeah...... yeeeah" as he came to the bit about The Beatles.
Man on Wire - Despite chronic vertigo, I thought this was a really entertaining, inspiring, poetic masterpiece.
This is England - Ken Loach Lite.

Iron Man - it was on in our hotel last weekend. Gave up after less than an hour despite having paid for it. Utter pants.

Tell No One - on DVD. I'd read the book a few years ago and enjoyed it but found this French version more than a little hard to follow. All the beautiful willowy French actresses looked alike to me and I'm not sure the director knew what he was doing at all.

CSNY Deja Vu - on tv. Overlong but surprisingly rivetting.

Courtesy of Channel 5 I just watched Men In Black with my son. What a cool film! Sadly my wife put her foot down when I settled down to watch Bad Boys II straight after MiB...
