She just about had a heart-attack when Dad bought her a toolbox full of basic tools and gift-wrapped each plier and screwdriver seperately. (He hid wrapped jewelry in the toolbox too... she nearly fainted.)
I don't think she can handle suspense. ;~D
Dave is a funny movie! Now on the considered list!
Well, you don't want to cause coronary arrest (do you?). So maybe suspenseful isn't a good idea...
Another one of my favorite old ones is "The Greatest Show on Earth" - 1952 Best Picture.
And since Christmas isn't that far away, you could to "It's a Wonderful Life" or "White Christmas."
