We are a movie household. I have tried to go the no screen thing route...and we have got as far as virtually no commerical tv for the kiddoes. J and I still watch too much crap. Confession time...I LOVE ANTM and I really like Project Runway and Top Chef...and I actually was sad when my Baby E stopped waking at 3:30am 6 months back cos I never found out who won My Restaurant Rules...but then I gave myself a quick slap and snapped out of it.
Anyway...since we have been trying to cut down on the TV our DVD collection has expanded exponentially...and I justify the epense because renting them costs almost as much as buying them (okay occasionally) and this way I can lend them to trusted people and have a range handy for those times when I have torn/stained my Supermummy costume and need a wee break.
I have chilled out since I wrote this post...a smidgeon...so here goes...my fav movies...WIP...
