FOR THE KID AT HEART!
1)Home Alone
Classic Christmas favorite!
2)Shrek
Wildly entertaining with a lovely moral to boot!
3)Harry Potter: The Sorcerer's Stone
The first Harry Potter movie is filled with so much magic and possibility you can't help but be happy just to watch it!
4)Spiderman
Another fantastic adventure!
5)Tomb Raider
The search for truth leads a beefed up Angelina Jolie across more than 3 continents in this action packed thrill ride.
6)Amelie
Possibly one of the best "feel good" movies to come out of France in years!
GENTLEMEN, START YOUR VCR!
1)Caddyshack
One of the comedy films of the century. Bill Murray and Chevy Chase head this all-star cast as they fumble and stumble their way through the famed Bushwood Country Club.
2)Big Daddy
Great comedy from Adam Sandler and a great soundtrack too! If you thought being a dad was hard, try being this Big Daddy!
3)Dogma
Never ceases to split the old sides in laughter! Director Kevin Smith strikes again with this "angelic" comedy staring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and the prophetic Chris Rock, complete with a little tale about life after death.
4)Something About Mary
Poor Ted's adventures are hilarious, at the very least! The Farrelly brothers put this comedy masterpiece out years ago and nothing has compared to it since. That, and, Cameron Diaz is in it. What more needs to be said!
5)Rushhour
Action, jokes, great marshal arts! Jackie Chan picks up a new partner for this knock-em down adventure in the far east!
6)Primal Fear
Scary, suspenseful, thought provoking, brilliant. Totally lose yourself in this Edward Norton thriller!
SPEND A MOVIE NIGHT TOGETHER:
1)Good Will Hunting
Everyone must discover their own gifts, eventually. The circumstances for finding and using those gifts are different for everyone, even for a down and out kid from Southie.
2)25th Hour
A remorseful Monty Brogan re-evaluates his two best friends, his father and his girlfriend, his life and what he's done with all of them.
3)Saving Private Ryan
There is a good deal of violence in this movie. The relationships between men and the processes through which they go, however, are second to none.
4)The Shawshank Redemption
This story's potential for teaching is realized as a stunning cast makes its way through years of imprisonment to find salvation in hope.
5)The Green Mile
Tom Hanks finds that there is so much more to life than he initially expected.
6)My Life
A struggling Michael Keaton comes to terms with life, children and what comes after.
