Try: Midnight in Paris My Life So Far The Princess Bride Amélie School of Rock Singin' in the Rain Shakespeare in Love Love Actually Design for Living My Man GodfreyThe King's Speech Miracle Stand By Me Great list. The first time I saw My Man Godfrey was probably an afternoon TV show in the 1950s where they ran old films they could get for cheap. I remember laughing until cried. I thought it was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. |

I miss movies. I looked into Netflix but found very little I'd want to watch. Maybe I'll have to cast a wider net.

I think I could still do that but we’re not currently set up for DVDs. Now I look at the offerings and find that the only things we watch are from Britbox and Acorn. I search for any movie we might like but come up empty. I may have to think about dumping Netflix. On edit: The Criterion Channel has movies we like, including many with artistic cinemagraphic merit. |

Are used to go to the free public library
I could find what I needed. It was the entire SF Bay Area. Sometimes it takes a week.
I had the DVD/Blu-ray
Unfortunately there isn’t English DVD movies In Puerto Vallarta
I still have Netflix. There’s a lot of websites/ applications
I’m just going to have a website - Netflix $14.99 monthly
I am also very tight with my money

If you want a laugh, watch "Cabin Boy" from 1994. It lost millions because it's awful, but it's also hilarious.

I am going to add "Love in the Afternoon" starring Audrey Hepburn to the list. I have loved that movie forever. It is because of that movie, that the first gift Lar ever gave me was an ankle bracelet. I had longed for one FOREVER, but felt it wasn't something I wanted to buy for myself. When Lar wanted to buy me my first gift, (it was my birthday) and asked me what I would like, I told him, 'An ankle bracelet" just like Audrey Hepburn wore in "Love in the Afternoon." |

For therapy and healing, avoid one called get out, which I caught last night--a psychological thriller/horror. Excellent, but scary. |

One on my list that I found particularly charming and have returned to a couple of times is My Life So Far. It's a kind of fictional autobiographical film told from the perspective of a 12-year-old boy whose family lives in a Scottish mansion, and whose eccentric inventor father is trying to develop a type of peat that can be used for bandaging wounds during WWI. His parents' (Colin Firth and Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio) relationship is put to the test for financial and other factors, and Malcolm MacDowell, as an equally eccentric uncle, drops by in his biplane with his girlfriend, adding to the family tempest. For the most part, the story is told with great humor and lightheartedness.
"I cried." —Judith Kael
