yesterday i was randomly flipping channels and i saw that TCM is showing all oscar winning movies from now until the academy awards ceremony in march! oh joy!!! it was showing one of my all-time favorite movies "sunset boulevard". i tried to tear myself away since i had seen it enough, but how often are REALLY good movies on tv anymore? i am so jealous of those of you that have netflix. i yearn and burn for the ability to rent movies that i actually want to watch. i never even go to blockbuster anymore; all they have is straight to video crap anyway. perhaps i will ask for a netflix plan for my birthday..........
here is my list of what i would rent:
sunset boulevard-creepy, engrossing, depressing, beautiful and tragic all at the same time.
mask-cher doing what she does best, being a trashy biker mom. she just happens to have a horribly disfigured son too. excellent movie.
the elephant man-speaking of disfigurement, this movie makes me weep. so good, makes me want to treat people better.
strictly ballroom-stock up on your sequins and hairspray first. awesome soundtrack too.
shadowlands-don't even bother with make-up the day you watch this. it will just be a waste. leaves you emotionally raw.
sargeant york-i am proud to be a religious person and an american. makes you grateful for simple things.
on golden pond-ignore hanoi jane, this movie will make you excited for the rest of your life with your spouse.
sliding doors-what have you done in your life that completely changed the path that you are on?

see what i put up with!
I don't get it - YOU get to pick what Netflix sends you. It's not like they arbitrarily send you some random movie. PLUS, at $5.99 a month, it's WAY cheaper than renting two DVDs from Blockbuster. And if you time it right, you could have a new movie in your mailbox every weekend. What a deal!
Plus, you CAN watch "The Office" through Netflix. You can catch up on all your favorite episodes from the first two seasons! And any other tv shows you have a hankering to watch.
Sliding Doors is absolutely one of my favorites! It was at Walmart for $5.50 and I wish I had gotten it!
