Stick House


I watch It’s a Wonderful Life every December, and never seem to tire of it – though I often end up watching alone. Heather and I see Ground Hog’s Day every February second. At Easter it’s Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments. We often watch The Wizard of Oz the first week in September; that’s when CBS used to air it every year. Most of the movies we watch again and again are comedies: Galaxy Quest, Three Men and a Baby, Princess Bride, Miss Congeniality, Guardians of the Galaxy, While You Were Sleeping, Toy Story 3, The Three Amigos, Megamind and Meet the Robinsons. A couple of my favorite movies - After the Sunset and Age of Adaline - have amazing female roles. Salma Hayek’s Lola is retired, but she parasails, scuba dives, learns tennis, and even builds a deck. If I never aged like Adaline Bowman, I like to think I’d read braille, speak several languages, and be unbeatable at Trivial Pursuit. What movies will you never tire of watching?
