There are so many really really good movies, movies that a person can watch 2 or 3 times a year and not get tired of watching them. Forrest Gump, Rainman, Fried Green Tomatoes, On Golden Pond, Cast Away, Goonies, Thelma and Louise, Out Break, Big Fish, Finding Nemo, could go on and on.

Deb and I have a very large, and still growing, collection of DVDs....213 at last count...and that's not counting my collection of WW2/Aviation documentary DVDs. Nearly every month, we buy between 1 and 3 DVDs, usually from the $5 bin at Walmart. Somethings when we have an extra 20 to 25 dollars to spare, we hit one of the local movie rental places and hit the 4 for $20 or 4 for $25 selection and bag four or 5 previously viewed (used) DVDs....I like doing that because the one place guarantees their used DVDs for LIFE...if I step on a DVD I bought there and break it...they will give me a replacement no questions asked...don't get that kind of coverage buying new DVDs.

Our DVD collection is very eclectic...much like our decorating style. We have romance, comedy, horror, action, suspense, lots of the really great classic films, lots of animated features (Toy Story, Cars, Shrek, Finding Nemo) and some of the really good puppetry/claymation stuff (Dark Crystal, Never Ending Story).

When we have movie nights, we load up the 5 DVD player, crank up the surround sound, make up a movie mix (popcorn, cheese doodles, pretzel sticks, BBQ corn chips, M&Ms), pour ourselves nice big glasses of ice pop and settle in for 10 hours of movie magic.

The Usual Suspects ....for THAT twist in the end

Terminator 2: "I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle"
Murder in the First: I was just blown away at Kevin Bacon's acting in this movie....outstanding.
