my 2007 movie watching list

Yesterday I blogged about my 2007 reading list. Afterwards the thought occurred to me: I'll probably spend more time watching movies in 2007 than I do reading (sad, I know). My wife, Jenny, and I really enjoy watching movies together. That's how we relax and unwind together. We don't have any TV shows that we watch regularly (except American Idol now that the new season has started--but that's the ONLY one--seriously). So when we put the kids to bed, a couple nights per week we'll head to the basement and watch a flick together on the big screen. It's a lot of fun for us. But it got me to thinking...you know how we'll create reading lists (like I did for '07)...well nobody really does a "watching" list--like here are the movies I'm going to watch in 2007. I know, it seems silly to do so, but it's fun to think about: "These are the movies I want to make sure I watch in 2007." Nobody does that. But then I got to thinking...I guess I really DO do that. See, Jenny and I subscribe to Netflix...we get our movies through the mail. We love it, by the way. As many movies as we want (three at a time), and we can keep them as long as we want--all for like $17.99 a month. So with that in mind, here's a partial list of my 2007 "watching" list (movies in my Netflix queue as of right now):

• One Night With The King (I thought I'd start with the "spiritual" stuff)
• North Counrty (No, I haven't seen it yet)
• A Time To Kill (No, I haven't seen that one yet either...I hear it's good)
• The World's Fastest Indian (Hey, I'm a motorcycle guy, what can I say?)
• Tristan & Isolde (Yeah, I'm kinda a sucker for a good chick-flick)
• Saved! (I'm curious)
• Snakes On A Plane (I'm weird that way)
• The Illusionist
• Facing the Giants (because I get asked all the time if I've seen it yet)
• The Marine
• A Good Year
• Stranger Than Fiction
• The Prestige (I'm REALLY looking forward to this one)
• The Return
• Borat (I want to see what all the hype is about)
• Deja Vu (TOTALLY looks like my kinda flick--love Denzel--love thrillers)
• Dreamgirls
• Night At The Museum
• The Good Shepherd
• The Pursuit of Happyness (I've heard it's awesome).
• We Are Marshall (even though I'm so sick and tired of Matthew McConaughey)
  

At home right now, I have Lady in the Water. I'm looking forward to watching that (maybe tonight). I'm a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan (you know, Signs, Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense, The Village--I love that stuff). Recently Jenny and I watched Little Miss Sunshine. Decent. Not great but interesting...and laugh-out-loud funny at times (waaaay too many F-words, though).
Send me your movie recommendations. I'm always looking for stuff to add to my queue.
