"Rent some of the better films"? I'd like to hear suggestions.
I've begun to watch a lot of the older movies from the `30s, `40s, & `50s, & `60s that are offered on Turner Classic Movies on cable - they're worth the price. The old ones w/Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, etc. Even though many are in black and white, it's refreshing to watch great acting and pretty good plots all without explicit sex/nudism and profanity. Most/many of these I had not seen being born in 1945. There are also very good (current) British mystery programs on the Biograpy channel on the weekends - Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Midsomer Murders, etc. All "G/PG" type programs. I also watch/record (to rewatch later) a lot of programs on the History Channel of WWII. It's interesting to learn what a struggle we and the allied nations had defeating Nazism and the Japanese in the Pacific. It's doubtful our society could be as successful today as our parents' generation was during the early 1940s.
I will be posting a thread with Colson's list of 50 films shortly.
Last year? "The Passion" and "The Incredibles" were both A+ movies. I recently rented "Cheaper by the Dozen," with Steve Martin, which was also enjoyable.
