I think it only fitting and appropriate that Matt & Mark be allowed to pick the first movie for you & your bride to officially view  jh

So...what movie shall Fill watch first?
Well, we all know how hard it is to get him to turn the channel from Lifetime, so it must be a good one.
Here's a short list well known to be some of his favorites:
1. The Birdcage
2. Harry Potter
3. Must Love Dogs
4. Sleepless in Seattle
5. Pretty Woman
6. Bridget Jones Diary
7. Anything starring Brad Pitt...he's just sooo hot!
8. The Princess Diaries
9. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
10. Gone With the Wind

How you get to be so funny, you round eye devil? Thankfully, I've been forced to see only a couple of your 'pick list'. Janet knows better than forcing this tripe on me. She goes to those with girlfriends!! I was looking over the latest releases and there isn't even one I want to see..... I think I am going to re-rent '300'

We haven't uncased all the DVDs yet. We were out last night so I didn't get a chance to get to them. I also have 'Long Way Round' so we are going to view both of those this weekend!! Supposed to be rainy later in the days over the weekend so what better way to spend time!

Yeah... also an oldie "Top Gun" is good in surround sound. I love the F-15s taking off from the carrier and when Cruise opens up his Kaw (?) sport bike. Down side... you have to sift through the soap opera stuff between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis. Does this mean we are going to have a Florida Rally at Fill's house and watch movies after the ride to Key West via Alligator Alley.
