I hope "Christmas Vacation" is on again soon, I love that movie and I haven't seen it for a long time.

I was channel-surfing and stumbled into about the last 45 minutes of "The Wedding Singer". Another one of my -- many -- favorite movies.

We've just had a Harry Potter marathon this last week. We watched all five. I haven't read a single book, but probably will start (and more than likely, finish) all the books before the next film is released.

Good! I think it's a sin to not have read them all at least once in your life time. (Then again I have the chapter stars from the top of the pages tattooed on my wrist so I may be a bit biased.)

I watched I've Loved You So Long last night while finishing up my Christmas present (I knit a rainbow dalek for my cousin) and I loved it. It was in French with subtitles.

Today I watched some classic Doctor Who. This morning I watched Snakedance, a three part story with the fifth Doctor, Nyssa, and Tegan. It was very 80s but slightly less boring than usual classic Who. Then when we went over to my grandparents' house, my cousin had gotten a second Doctor story on DVD, so we started that. It was called The War Games, and I got 4 episodes in but I kind of fell asleep during a bit of it. It was interesting once I got into it but I really think they could set it up in 10 minutes instead of an episode and a half. I would love it if someone went and edited down the classic Who series so they were shorter, honestly I think you could easily cut the time in half and it'd still make as much sense as it did to begin with.

Christmas Vacation? For some reason I laugh hysterically when cat chews through the cord to the tree.....

I know.........

---------------

I rented Terminator, it was pretty good.

Star Trek was enjoyable. I am not a Trekkie, but I loved the 'young' characters.

G.I. Joe was o.k. too....

--------------

Breaking Away starts in 5 minutes......

THAT is one great movie.

I hated Italian cycling teams for years afterwards.

Calamity Jane - 1953, with Doris Day and Howard Keel.

Night at the Museum - the first one. This movie is sooo funny.

Force 10 From Navarone - 1978, with a very young Harrison Ford, Robert Shaw, Carl Weathers. I never tire of seeing that dam go, and the bridge come tumbling down.
