Doing research by watching movies

Since I've found a little time to watch movies -- I've decided to use this as a basis for research for my second Internet Hero book. I watched GATTACA last week -- it was hairy !!!!!!

Since my local family video is a bit light on intellectual sci-fi type movies, I joined Netflix -- which went really smooth -- I'll let you know if there are any issues with their service. Right now, I have a list of about 30 movies I'll be watching.

I found a top ten list of intellectual Sci-Fi movies here:

I started with this blogged list and then trolled through the comments for other suggestions. Netflix has a great linking system of similar movies too.

Vanilla Sky

I've found a couple hours each week to watch movies again, I love movies.

Well I never thought I'd intentionally watch a Tom Cruise movie again, but someone recommended it.

I was pleasantly surprised -- while it wasn't extremely deep and symbolic -- ala "The Matrix", it did have a clever plot, I especially enjoyed the reoccurring reference to the frozen dog.

It also reminded me of "Jacob's Ladder" -- which I also enjoyed but will have to watch again as it has been many many years since I watched.
