Happy viewing crystal!

In the past, I was not much of a movie man but I can still see that there are some movies in your list that I wouldn't mind seeing for a second time.

I can recall our daughter's while they were younger watching some movies over and over again but I just better leave it for now.

Hey the movie gods have been pretty good to us so they must really love us humans. Right? :)

I watched Prometheus again the other night on HBO. I liked it a lot better the second time around. Not sure why, maybe just able to filter the things that bugged me the first time :)

Hi Richard,

I rented it a while ago so I could see it twice too. Sometimes it seems easier to pay attention when I'm watching a video than when I'm at the theater. It didn't seem quite as bad to me either. There was so much hype when it first came out - maybe it raised my expectations too high.
