Movies I always watch

I've considered blogging about this from time to time.

There are movies that I enjoy so much, that no matter how many times I see them, I can always see them again.

The Shawshank Redemption is one such film. It was on HDNET last week.

It's a great story, quite true to Stephen King's novella. Morgan Freeman's narrative throughout is brilliant. The ensemble cast and crew are brilliant. Thomas Newman gave it one of his best soundtracks. I could go on and on.

That's one of mine too. It is such a great movie.

I can also watch Out of Africa over and over again. There a handful of these movies for me, ranging from the serious, like Shawshank, to the off-beat, like Grosse Point Blank.

This has made me want to watch a movie right now!

Now that I work at home, I watch movies all the time. We splurged on a nice TV, and I'm seeing to it that we get our money's worth.

I don't think I've seen that one. Of course I'd have to ask Fran, I rarely remember what I've seen.

My watch agains are: Sweet Home Alabama, Coyote Ugly, The Devil Wears Prada, and Save the Last Dance. Yesterday I bought Mama Mia, and I suspect that'll be a watch again, too.

Yeah, I can watch Sweet Home Alabama any time it's on.

I caught Shawshank again yesterday. It's not one of my favorite films, but I do tend to watch it frequently enough ...

So, too, I find myself having the damned TV on all the time, between the HDTV and the sound system. Alas.
