<p>The World’s Fastest Indian was a movie that took me by surprise. I loved it- it reminded me of my dad, a man who could make anything out of anything.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for the great suggestions. I now have a long list to email to them.</p>
<p>One NOT to get for the folks … Boogie Nights. Years ago, H & I rented it while visiting the in laws. We didn’t know what it was about. Let’s just say it’s not something you want to watch with mom & dad at any age! ;)</p>
<p>Kelsmom, can’t be worse than “Hot Tub Time Machine” - what a terrible movie - I don’t know how I got hooked into watching it.</p>
<p>Does Netflix do TV series? </p>
<p>Our family really enjoyed the 7 seasons of DVD for “West Wing”, purchased on ebay. (We learned a lot about government, etc. The we had a wedding trip to DC which was actually much more interesting because of what we had seen on the show.)</p>
<p>For historic documentaries about America, including great music, excellent incorporation of historic photographs, and film editing to keep a lively-but-not-insane pace:<br>
[Ken</a> Burns | PBS](<a href=“http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/]Ken”>http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/)</p>
<p>A sampling of topics over a 25-year career: “Baseball,” “The Civil War,”
“The Brooklyn Bridge,” “Huey Long,” “Jazz” and many more.</p>
<p>Yea, if Netflix does tv series, MASH is a perrenial favorite (we bought the set, didn’t like the movie as well). Seinfeld is also very popular. UP is a happy movie. Camelot with Vanessa Redgrave is one of my all time favorites. Seinfeld is also very popular and makes my mom laugh every time.</p>
<p>The Queen
About A Boy
Billy Elliot</p>
<p>FYI-
We just lowered our Cable bill (have three things on it… phone, cable TV and internet) by calling and complaining of escalating costs… Anyway, lowered it by $37 a month. Husband decided to upgrade our cable TV by $10 a month and we now get a package that includes many, many showtime channels. Lots more to watch. Goodbye Netflix…</p>
<p>In the Jane Austen mode: Persuasion with Ciran Hinds. Lovely.</p>
