helena Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's summer and I'm ready to veg out. I remember seeing Fatal Attraction and Hellraiser together in the 80s and feeling a bit traumatized afterwards. :tongue_smilie: The kids and I just did Psycho and Jaws. Perfect combo! It seems like we do You've Got Mail and While You Were Sleeping a lot. What do you think pairs well together? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helena Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Helena, it is time to turn out the lights. Not for tonight! I mean... if I didn't have to get up early with the puppy I could. It's summer!! Tomorrow though?? :) We're broke and we have no AC. Somehow it's turning into an awesome summer anyways. Pool/movies/ice cream/pool/movies/popsicles... that's going to be my mantra. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade That would have to be a quadruple feature. I don't care what anyone says, I liked the last one! No 3... meh. But it's not like you can go 1, 2, 4. That's insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica_in_Switzerland Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 My kids haven't seen either of these movies! I'll suggest it. Men in Tights is one of my favorite oddball comedies. You will get a lot more of the jokes in it if you watch Prince of Thieves first! Another great movie is This is Spinal Tap. I was going to say to pair it with Princess Bride because they're both Reiner films, but maybe pairing it with a real documentary about your kids' favorite band would be funnier. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
