Okay, that’s not exactly true…I’ve seen some older movies on t.v, _Closer_, all three LOTR, and the first Harry Potter. BUT, I’ve just signed up for Netflix. What movies should I get?? (Our first request, _Children of Men_, will be here tomorrow.) Of particular interest, obviously, are movies that have been released in the past four years. I’ll watch pretty much anything, but I really like Clive Owen, independent films, British/Australian films, dramas and suspense. Light comedy is good, too. Horror is out…my husband is a scaredy cat. Pick my queue! ---

How about the new Bond movie, _Casino Royale_? ---

\*\*Batman Begins \*\* - excellent comic book/action movie. \*\*Inside Man \*\* - a decent heist movie with Clive Owen and Denzel Washington. \*\*The Proposition \*\* (an Australian ‘western’), with Guy Pearce. ---

Okay, for now I’ve added _Little Miss Sunshine_, \*The Proposition \* and \*Inside Man \* (so far). **Gangster Octopus** , I looooved Memento and, obviously, I’ve already seen it, so I’m going to wait to watch it again. Great suggestion, though. Keep the suggestions coming…I have a lot of watching to catch up on. ---

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Departed Garden State Sin City (violent, but definitely not a horror movie)
