The perfect movie any time, but ESPECIALLY between Christmas and New Years.
Can’t stand Jack Lemon.

Thelma and Louise is a personal fave of mine.
I will also repeat anything I’ve seen before that I liked that comes on TV. I love watching movies I already know I like.
My favorite genre, however, is documentary. There just aren’t enough of them though.
I went to a theatre to see Field of Dreams when it first came out. My dad had died the year before. So, of course, toward the end of the movie I’m sitting there in the theatre crying and I see a little girl sitting nearby turn to her mother and whisper, “Mommy? What’s wrong with that man?”
That’s ok. I don’t think he was one of your fans either. 
Snarkiness begets snarkiness.
I did that at The Parent Trap because the kids in the film were the same age as my oldest who was really ill that year. Now that was weird.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I lost my mom just after last Christmas, and I find this year as the holidays approach that the oddest things remind me of her, and of my dad (whose only been gone a couple of years).
Sometimes when that happens I find that I have cried without even being aware of it.

I like crying. It’s good for people. Cry on, bro.
What, no mentions of “The Princess Bride”? Inconceivable!
Dreadful film IMO. Quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen.

a good one, although I dont think I couold get into it once every year…
& this is the one where they have an old plastic shower curtain hanging up in back of the spaceship’s cockpit??
i haven’t seen king of hearts since my college days.
how come no one mentioned rocky horror picture show?
Because all of us past the age of reason got it out of our systems in college. No more need for a yearly rerun.
Really? That’s astounding …

Then you obviously have never seen “The Bermuda Depths” (with Burl Ives and Connie Seleca) in which a demonic giant turtle figured heavily.
Really.
Demonic giant turtles have a poor survival record in these parts.

It fared rather well in the movie. I also ate Burl Ives.
