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.

I've been looking at new cars and a couple models I'm interested in don't even have manual tranny as an option! What's the deal with American drivers? Do they need that second hand free so they can eat their trans fat laden meals on the go? :joker:
Not sure what you are looking at but you really have to go to a drivers car company to get some good transmission options these days...BMW being one of them. I believe that Audi has some good offerings as well with manual gearboxes. The new BMW 335i would be really fun car to own right now.
I happen to think that the American mentality of driving automatics stems from our roadways. We have no autobahn and the majority of US drivers spend their time in traffic where speeds change constantly. It is understandable that people would prefer automatics in these circumstances. In many parts or Europe there are still open stretches of road in which drivers can let their cars stretch their legs and drivers can really be "drivers". Many Europeans see cars as driving machines while most Americans see them as transportation to and from work. We live oceans apart but our lifestyles and driving habits are worlds apart.
