“Tremors”

It’s got Kevin Bacon, and Reba MacIntire…and giant, evil worm-things!

And it’s hilarious.

**But I’m a Cheerleader** is both very funny and rather sweet.

I liked **Pleasantville** a lot, but my Tobey Maguire tolerace is higher than some.

If you haven’t seen them in a long time, **The Dark Crystal** and **Labyrinth** are both "kids’"movies that stand up quite nicely to grown-up viewing.

Rent **Spirited Away** if you didn’t see it in theaters.

Fight Club and Minority Report are both good watches.

Shakespeare in Love is a good romantic comedy if that’s what you want.

Dirty Work is funny.

Anything with Steve Buscemi.

Hum the Steeler’s Wheel’s tune “Stuck in the Middle with you” while your rentals are collected.

You won’t have to pay - you’re just borrowing. 😉
