    Default Don't-miss movies

    Most of us have them, those movies we'll always watch, no matter how many times we've already seen them.

    We love a good disaster. Even a bad disaster. So our must-see movies include:

    Dante's Peak
    Twister
    Volcano
    2012
    Independence Day

    Broken Arrow is also a must-see movie for us.

    A new favorite is Unstoppable.

    What's on your must-see movie list?

    I love disaster movies, too. The good, the bad and the ugly. Whenever I see one on Netflix that I haven't seen yet, I have to watch!

    i'm on a jane austen kick

    both versions of persuasion.
    all 4 versions of sense and sensibility. i prefer emma thompson and the most recent BBC andrew davies 4 hour version that was quite true to the book.
    colin firth's version of pride and prejudice. throw the kiera nightly version in the trash can.

    paltrow's emma
    miss austen regrets
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    "i create prosperity, abundance, and savings for me and my household"

    ~I'm a classic movie girl, preferably adventure/swashbucklers and musicals. The charm and magic of the old stuff is rarely found in our times. Just some of my favorites off the top of my head:
    *The Quiet Man
    *Arsenic and Old Lace
    *Gone with the Wind
    *Singing in the Rain
    *Swing Time
    *African Queen
    *The Great Escape
    *Stalag 17
    *How to Steal a Million
    *Sabrina
    *It's a Wonderful Life
    *20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
    *The Crimson Pirate
    *The Sound of Music
    ~West Side Story
    ~Vertigo
    ~Help(the Beatles)

    And some modern stuff I feel has classic qualities:
    ~Lord of the Rings
    ~The Princess Bride
    ~Fried Green Tomatoes
    ~Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    ~Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl
    ~A&E's Pride and Prejudice

    I am so not a disaster movie person. I have watched about 10 of them but only ever get so far as the first wave of panic before I can't take any more. When the water starts rising or the building is in flames I will not watch anymore.
    I made it through the plane crash disaster in "Cast Away" only because it was in the first 20 minutes of the movie and I knew going into it that he would be alright or there would be no movie after the crash.
    I want my movies to make me happy and laugh, not make me anxious. ~
