“Second Hand Lions”
“Savannah Smiles”
“Mouse Hunt”
“Spy” with Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham. It’s in the top 5 funniest movie list for me and hubby. We laugh every time I see it. It never gets stale.
Office Space is my favorite movie.

I have read all of her popular press books
Fascinating womsn
A few very enjoyable movies that are suitable for all ages:
Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid — a ‘Phillip Marlowe” type of B&W film set in the 40’s with the help of 20 cameos from old movies. Edith Heads last film, and very funny. Rachael Ward, Steve Martin and Carl Reiner
All of Me — a Steve Martin, Lilly Tomlin movie where Lilly Tomlin’s ‘spirit’ enters Steve Martin’s body by accident and he masters having two personalities in his body.
Zelig — A B & W film set before and during the WWII era where Leonard Zelman, or Zelig, grows up on NY as a jewish boy...he just wants to fit in and eventually becomes a human chameleon... and saves the world.A Woody Allen movie and fun for all ages.
Bullets Over Broadway — set in the roaring 20’s and prohibition. John Cusack is a budding writer and is trying to get his play produced...he needs to compromise along the way as the funder is ‘Mr. Big’ in the crime world....Dianne Weiss earned a best supporting actress for her over the top performance, again a Woody Allen movie. A very surprising and funny ending. No nudity but some sexual innuendo...Highly underrated.
Death At A Funeral (THE UK VERSION! not the remake!) — A very funny story that unwinds over the course of an afternoon while two songs are attempting to have services for their just passed father. Peter Dinklage is wonderful (and in both versions of the movie). Some necessary sexual discussion for the plot.
Lastly:
Tucker and Dale VS Evil — a very funny satire on ‘slasher type’ movies set in the WV hill country (I think)...Two honest an decent ‘hillbilly’ types go to their newly acquired ‘weekend retreat’ cabin to fix it up...some ‘college kids’ arrive to camp on the lake where the cabin. sits...there is blood and violence as it is a ‘slasher type’ of film it NEEDS it. Great love story as well. Not suitable for young-uns.
HAVE FUN!

Just saw Song Sung Blue at the theater twice, and will watch it more in the future.
Just watched it, again, yesterday.
Sam Neill is also in a very good movie: Dean Spanley...Peter O’ Toole has lost a son in the Boer War and then his dog...and has become a rather old and grumpy codger...Sam Neill’s character, while under the spell of a special vintage, becomes the key to Peter O”Toole’s redemption...
NO animals hurt during the production of this film!
A wonderful watch.
I downloaded thinking in pictures...wow.
I don’t generally watch things over and over. But for some reason I can watch ‘The Dish’ repeatedly and never tire of it. It just seems very gentle and full of the wonder we felt at the time.
I will check out ‘Dean Spanley’.
For a light-hearted movie for pet lovers, Homeward Bound and Homeward Bound II is good. I love anything with pets in it that is non animated.
Also, Dog with Channing Tatum was pretty good.
A couple of Woody Allen movies like Bananas and Annie Hall.
9 to 5 with Lily Tomlin
Perverse humor, but I admit that I enjoyed most of the Scary Movie series.
Where do you download from?
i bought that off kindle on Amazon.
I’m watching it right now, corny but amusing, with pretty girls and great humor about feminism.
The Replacements. Gene Hackman and Keneau Reeves.
Anything by Monty Python.
Slap Shot.
Major League.
Ever since the NFL ‘kneeling’ episodes began, my husband and I have watched ‘The Replacements’ instead of the Super Bowl.
It’s a great movie.
Overboard (Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell)
