I would like to give a shout out to our new found love...Netflix! Seriously, whoever thought up the whole idea is a genius! And a rich genius I'm sure. For only $9.99 a month, we get 2 DVDs a week, delivered right to our mailbox. It's so great, we've been doing it for about a month and a half now and we are sold! We have been able to queue up some old movies that we've always wanted to see, but never wanted to spend the $2 to rent them at a regular movie store. Last week we started it off with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I loved it! Paul Newman is a crack up! We decided the young Robert Redford resembled Brad Pitt quite a bit. Tres attractive.
The last movie we watched was Casablanca, also a classic that neither of us had seen. I thought it was a really good movie. I finally got to see where that famous line comes from, "Here's lookin at you kid." I highly recommend it.
Some others on our queue that I'm excited to get are: Cool Hand Luke, The Bucket List, Xanadu(both of us have never seen it, we hear it's crazy), The Kite Runner, Benny and Joon, Some Like It Hot, Say Anything, and of course, Ghost Dad. I say of course because I was OBSESSED with this movie when I was little. I would always beg my parents to rent it every weekend. I really can't remember much about it so I'm kind of excited to see it. It will probably be lame but I'm sure it will give me a good laugh.
So does anyone have any other recommendations for good movies to add to our queue???

Ya'll have some great ones comin up to watch! Love SOME LIKE IT HOT! Classic! Glad you guys are gettin into the classics..hit up some John Wayne's yo..honor that picture you guys have hangin up! Go to AFI's top 100 movies of all time and hit up those!!
I think you guys would really enjoy Dances With Wolves if you haven't seen it. Also, I like the Bucket List a lot! We saw it on the plane last month.
seen dances with wolves...love it.. tatonka!
I loved Xanadu, it is crazy, but I remember watching it all the time b/c we loved rollerskating so much! Since we're on the subject of rollerskating movies, have you seen Rollbounce? How about Raising Arizona? Ruben and Ed? Little Miss Sunshine? Quiz show? Stranger than Fiction, Best in show, Waiting for Guffman (all the Christopher Guest movies are funny), those are just a few we think you two would enjoy. If we think of any more we'll let you know!
He He I also have netflix and love it but the only bad thing after about 6 months you are scratching for something that you have not seen!! Anyway I love getting it in the mail the the unsure knowledge of what it is!! a older-new show that I saw recently and loved was lucky 7, yes it is a chick flick but I loved it and would highly recomend it.
