Top 5

I need some inspiration!!
I have been staring at my DVD and video collection for the past 20 minutes and can't find anything I feel like watching. Disaster!

I'd love to know your top five DVD picks....

I'll even award a prize for the best suggestion!

I don't watch DVD's ( and before that, I didn't watch videos either ! ).

I'm not very good at sitting still and paying attention ....

BUT, I do so love the Royal Tenenbaums, and I stay up whenever Sid n Nancy is on the tele ( normally at 1am ;)

American Beauty I love too...

Fargo ...

Actually, I think all my movies are on my 'profile' page - i'm betting they haven't changed in my 2yrs of blogging ;)

Ok Jenny - knowing how you love a blast from the past - how about these oldies but goodies
1.St Elmos Fire (The Brat Pack- oh how i loved them -except Andrew McCartney - he had creepy eyes!) And this is when Demi Moore was a NATURAL beauty!)
2.The Breakfast Club - again more Brat packers!!! Great film...
3.Did you ever watch Thirtysomething? One of the best shows EVER - i have some still on video if you want to borrow it!!
4.What about Six Feet Under - another excellent program...i have that too if you want it
5.Just watch Grease again for the 6 billionth time - you cant beat that....

By the way - how on earth do you find time to watch dvds??? And run a business? And be a mummy? A wife? A friend? And sew gorgeous quilts? I barely have time to go to the toilet at the moment!!!

1. Grease-love the songs
2. Pulp fiction-a bit gory but JT's in that one too
3. Singles- great music
4. Nachos Libre- anything with Jack Black
and 5. High fidelity and Sixteen candles.I so wanted to be Molly Ringwald!!
Cheers and what a good idea.

My all-time favourite movie (which I have seen many multiple times) is Footloose!

Recently, I thought Babel was a great movie.

'footloose' at any time, day or night.

''notting hill' for the fun romantics in us.

'steel magnolias' if you need a little weep.


any john hughes/molly ringwald film for a little nostalgia


'good will hunting' for an ace all rounder

I'm horrible at dvds, but here are my suggestions:
1. Gilmore Girls 1st season
2. Lost 1st season
3. Mansfield Park
4. Gilmore Girls 2nd season
5. Goonies

I like tv more than I like film.

How did you love the last season of GG? Did you finish?

Oh, and Annie on Men in Trees is Francie from Chilton on GG. Did you know?
