D started our (okay, technically his) Netflix subscription this weekend and between the two of us, we compiled a list of 19 movies we would like to see in the next three months. I was thinking about how many hours this would add up to and then quickly decided not to think about it. I figure it's a cheap date, so cheap in fact, that we only need to pop the popcorn. That’s okay, it’s how we like it. D wanted my input because he wants to watch most of these movies with me, but can you guess the one or two he sneaked in before my I could catch them?? I have to say, though, that it's a good thing we have very similar tastes (for the most part) in movies. Below is our queue, additions and subtractions are welcome!

The Guardian is awesome! It's supposed to be the Top Gun of the Coast Guard. I think it's even better though. It won't disappoint you. Have you heard of Fly Boys? That looks interesting as well. About the very first military pilots. Enjoy your dates!

I loved Lady in the Water, but I'm automatically prejudiced to love anything by M. Night Shyamalan (Signs, 6th Sense, etc.). Some people found it confusing and slow, but I loved it. I think he is brilliant. OK, moving on...
Derailed was interesting--a bit more...um... graphic?... than I thought. I thought it was an interesting story--not what you expect just from reading the previews. Speaking of that type of movie, have you seen Inside Man? Great movie--keeps you guessing.
The Break-Up was TERRIBLE. It was more depressing than funny. And the ending was just dumb--the kind of ending where you go, "Wait, what? That's the end?" and then you get all mad, lol.
Haven't seen The Prestige, but heard it isn't as good as The Illusionist.
Can't think of any additions off the top of my head, but I'll let you know if I do! :)

The only thing I remember about Munich is how often they swore in the movie. We have TVG that takes out swear words so I vaguely remember the movie being largely silent! Facing the Giants is a Christian film that we watched last weekend and everyone thought it was good. Kristina is bringing it home so her family can watch it.

I've heard that both The Guardian and Facing the Giants are good movies, but I haven't seen either. One Night With The King is very good. Josh and I both love that one and recently bought it :)
