So over the past week and a half or so, With Liesl and the kids out of town I have gotten a chance to catch up on a lot of movies that Liesl would not really be interested in. And a few that have been on my list for a while and just not gotten the chance to view. While you may think it's rather sad that I've just been sitting around watching movies in my boxers, well, maybe it is... So here's what I've seen:Harry Potter 1-6
Breakfast At Tiffany's
Lost In Translation
Signs
Dazed and Confused
A River Runs Through It
Fight Club
Out of all those, besides "A River Runs Through It", which I have seen many times before, "Lost In Translation" was probably my favorite. I was really disappointed in "Fight Club" after many people told me how good it was. It just kinda left me feeling sick. It was just really messed up. I thought "Dazed and Confused" was very much like "American Graffiti", only set in the 70's instead of the 50's. "Signs" was really pretty good with a really good theme of losing faith and being redeemed in that loss. I thought "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was a little slow, but the end was really good. Just had to be patient with the story a little.
I've got a few more days before my family returns, I'm not sure if I will rent any more movies, But I've been wanting to watch (for like the 10th time) "The Last Samurai" again. I love that story.

I can't think of anything better to do with endless free time than to watch lots of movies. Good choice in activity - and in movies.
I haven't seen all of them, but Dazed & Confused and the Harry Potters are definitely the best ones you watched.
I've been meaning to watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and I'm interested in Lost in Translation.
Glad you had a good enough time while the family was gone. I know you'll be glad to see them return.
3:10 to Yuma.
