[QUOTE="michaelB, post: 2774355, member: 216373"] the "Rings" trilogy is WAY to complex and involved to get someone disinterested in these films interested. I don't know your age group, but my suggestion is you have to "wean" people into enjoying these films without overburdening them. That said, I say try something considerably lighter and more fun: "Cocoon" and "Ghost" or possibly "I Am Number Four" or "Battleship" might do the trick. They're much lighter materially than expecting someone with little or no interest to plunge right into the "Rings" trilogy. Jeez, I've been a fantasy and sci-fi freak all my life (I'm 62 next week now) and even I had to watch that trilogy more than once to "get" it! "Cocoon" and "Ghost" have pretty much everything, plus some element of lightness to them (Whoopi Goldberg's character takes care of that in "Ghost"), so you wouldn't be throwing the person into the snake pit, so to speak, and tell them to live through it! 'good luck with this. My real feeling is, either someone's interested practically from birth or never will be, but you can try. [/QUOTE]
