Okay, so we all like each other. Well, mostly. S-o-o-o, it does stand to reason that each and every one of has an outstanding DVD to recommend for me ( & the rest of the forums gang) to rent for viewing over the holidays:
Two categories:
1.) Seasonal DVD that we must watch
2.) Non-seasonal any genre DVD that will make our holiday viewing.
Thanking you in advance.
Isn't Pride & Prejudice out on DVD? I just love Mr. Darcy.
I also vote for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I just love Johnny Depp. I better get that cuz I put it on my santa list on that "Tis the season thread. (I, of course, have all the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies. I just love the King of Rohan. He's very kingly.)
I can't watch another holiday movie to save my life because I have seen them all too many times. (Go see Charlotte's Web at the theater if you want a feel good movie.) But, if pressed, I guess I would vote for Rudolph as my sentimental favorite.
My favorite elf - Arwen Undomiel Elelome.
Hey, everyone watches Lord of the Rings. Didn't we all read that in our youth?
Do you speak elvish? To quote oh great Arwen, "Nin o Nin o Chithaeglir last beth daer; Rimmo nin Bruinen dan in ulaer!"
P.S. "Swimming Upstream" was a good movie.
Fave seasonal would be Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire.
LOVE IT.
Miracle on 34th Street with Natalie Wood comes in second.
I also enjoy The Women (the 1939 version) with Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer.
Hubby tolerated it once, but I think he secretly HATES it!
:rolleyes:
And for some adolescent, teeny bopper, girl-power, Blue Crush w/ a healthy sized, pre her anorexic phase, Kate Bosworth.
Non-seasonal video or DVD that the entire family can watch:
Fluke. It's a take on Lassie Come Home and I believe Samuel L. Jackson is one of the animal voices. It is not done "Hollywood" animation.

2) Stripes

Poolraat:
Aragorn should have ended up with the Eowyn, the niece of the King of Rohan. They were much better suited than Aragorn/Arwen. Arwen was all dreamy while the Eowyn was off riding horses, wielding swords and saving middle earth from Sarumon.
Home Alone 1 & 2 took place at the holidays.

I agree. But Liv Tyler was very elvish, don't you think?
Yesterday was a cold, windy day and when I got home from the HS b-ball games my son was watching The Two Towers. We spent the rest of the day watching that and "Return of the King".
I hadn't seen them before. The books are much better.

Liv was an OK elf. But there wasn't even a decent kiss in any of those movies! What about passion?! Plus, I just liked Eowyn better. I liked the second movie in the series best. There were too many endings in Return of the King. And I got really sick of the sappy hobbits.
I also have in my permanent DVD library: Gladiator, Braveheart (yes, I know Mel Gibson is a bit of an ass, but I love seeing him kick Edward I's butt) and, on a less gruesome note, Love Actually.
Anything with Katherine Hepburn! She's classic!
One that had me laughing: "Bringing up Baby"
Another whose title I can't remember but Kate played an athlete who at first disliked her agent/coach, then they fell in love. But the title escapes me just now.
