I've been wanting to try Netflix just so I don't give Blockbuster any
more money than is necessary <g>

Oh my goodness, general admission at most theaters here is about $8.50
or $9. A large popcorn will run another $5, a large drink another $5.
When you consider that when I go to the movies I generally have a kid or
two in tow...it gets kinda pricy.

Most definitely!!! I paid to see all three of them in theaters, the
last one multiple times, and they are so worth it. I bought each one as
they were released, including the extended director's cuts. Definitely
worth the money, IMNSHO.

I'll have to think a bit on any movies I'd recommend, as others have
already mentioned most of the ones I'd suggest.
