Because it's 500° across the country and I'm trying to see how many consecutive hours my air conditioner can run before shutting down like the NBA, I have been embracing some lovely indoor activities.
Last weekend I used Redbox for the first time and yesterday I signed up for Netflix (free trial, woo).
I'm clearly behind the times when it comes to my movie-viewing methods, and unfortunately I'm not much better when it comes to what I've seen. Here are a few items from my queue, AKA things I'm ashamed to admit I've never seen:
Harry Potter... all of 'em. I've never read or seen the stories, but the recent hype has me... hyped.
Pretty Little Liars... will I love this as much as I think I will?
Lost... I watched one episode in college, but my viewing pleasure ended there.
The Wire... a little old school, but I hear it's fabulous.
The Big Bang Theory... I fell in love with it last season and I'm dying to see the first few!
And last, but certainly not least, my favorite movie of all time:
I feel pretty strongly that this should be in the Netflix instant queue because hello, Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly fall in love online, so clearly we should be able to watch it online. More to the point, how do I not own this movie?
What do you recommend I watch ASAP?






I'm not a fanatic, but I do love the HP books and movies. We just saw the last one this week! We love the Big Bang Theory and we did watch LOST. We hated it the entire time but we couldn't stop watching! The newest thing in our queue is Friday Night Lights. We'll be starting that soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree. You've Got Mail should be on Instantly!!
BIG BANG. it's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen or read any of the HP's either, so we can be social misfits together - don't leave me behind! lol, And I think you will love LOST! I got into it one summer and watched like 4 seasons in a row, it was addicting!
ReplyDeleteAnd you know I love a good bang....episode. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! xx
I'm so jealous of your selection on Netflix in the States!!
ReplyDeleteI love Weeds - you should watch that!
I <3 you got mail!!! If it makes you feel any better, I 've only read and watched the first Harry Potter movie. I do love the big bang theory, but I haven't seen the others! Netflix is completely addicting!
ReplyDeletecan't believe i'm more "with it" than you. they're all pretty rubbish to be honest...the first two seasons of lost were good though.
ReplyDeleteI've seen all but The Wire so I'll help you out a bit.
ReplyDeleteHP - You must see these movies. MUST.
Pretty Little Liars - I am ADDICTED to this show. The fashion, the story, the mystery. It's so good.
Lost - Is good. Till the finale. Which made me SO ANGRY.
Big Bang Theory - Is hysterical.
You've Got Mail - Super cute movie, I adore Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
The Wire is the best television series I have EVER SEEN. Make sure you don't give up after the first few episodes because it's a little confusing to catch on to all the characters, but once you do it's amazing!!! Steve and I were absolutely addicted and will probably watch it all over again one day when we have time. The writers also put out a new series called "Treme" that is about New Orleans after the Hurricane. Also good stuff with great music.
ReplyDeleteDo get into HP! I'm a late bloomer there too! I watched all the movies and I'm on the 4th book - it's so fun!
ReplyDeleteLOST- great show, but don't expect answers. If you're okay with that, then go for it.
I loved the Big Love series on HBO. Project Runway starts next week too!
The only thing I've seen (and also love) on your list is of course is "You've Got Mail". Love love love them together!
ReplyDeleteI will suggest my most recent favorite movie- The Adjustment Bureau. It's a little drama, a little suspense, and totally romantic! How could you go wrong with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt?!?! Also two of my fav's!
Also, your most recent post about your Pop Pop made my heart melt! Thinking of you and your family...
You should watch Bones! It's my favorite TV show :).
