trav and i just got home yesterday from a lovely, much-needed vacation. his parents and some family friends had gone in together to rent a house in hot springs village, ar and we were able to stay with them a few days. when we arrived we were told we'd be staying in the library which wound up being a little study with a double bed and about 400 VHS tapes. yes, they were an outdated format, but that didn't keep us from noticing that the collection was probably one of the best we'd ever seen, including several movies either i, travis or both of us had never seen but have always wanted to see. so, i decided that i would make a list of some of those movies so as to [
hopefully] move a few steps toward actually seeing them.
so our movie mission is as follows [in no particular order]:
- The Pianist
- Life As A House
- Wit
- Hello Dolly!
- When Harry Met Sally
- Jurassic Park
- Back To The Future
- Amelie
- La Dolce Vita
- An American In Paris
- Godfather Trilogy
- Terminator movies
- The Bridge On The River Kwai
- All Quiet On The Western Front
- Zulu
- Butterfield 8
- Iris
- What Dreams May Come
- Some Like It Hot
- Dead Poets Society
- National Velvet
- A Room With A View
- Shawshank Redemption
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Dr. Zivago
So, if any of you friends happen to own a copy of one/some of these, holler at us and we'll do a movie night! (of course, now that we're back in nashville, only dvds will do)
