Baby Boom

I remember watching this movie years ago and then I watched it recently and enjoyed it just as much. A story about a high powered executive who ends up with a distant relative's child.

See how she adapts to this new life and the changes she makes and the lessons learned about herself and her life.

Funny and inspiring a movie worth watching !!

Mrs. Doubtfire
Another fantastic movie Robin Williams makes this a movie worth watching. Funny, crazy and with a note of desperation Daniel will stoop to any level to be able to see his children.

Watch as he jumps through hoops to fufill his childrens needs and keep a big secret from everyone.

Funny and endearing this is a movie worth seeing.

Dances With Wolves

I remember watching this movie and being amazed by how good it is. An epic story of a United States Army lieutenant whose life is changed when he travels to the American frontier in search of a military post and befriends a local Sioux tribe.

Watch as his life goes on a roller coaster ride of twist and turns as he discovers himself and finds out who he wants to be.

A truly great movie, I enjoyed this one very much !

Forest Gump

A true classic that I could watch again and again. It pulls you in and keep's you interested throughout as it tells the moving story of one man's life and his impact on others around him.

Watch Forest grow from a boy to a man. A simple man with an apparent lucky streak watch as he faces life with a humble and quiet attitude that gets him through lifes adversities.

Like I said a true classic !!

Nia Vardalos, My Big Fat Greek Wedding

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Secondhand Lions

I really loved this movie it made me laugh and cry a few times. The story of a boy "Walter" whose mother deserts him for the summer with two reclusive uncles whom he has never met.

His uncles Hub and Garth are great storytellers and all the relatives think they are crazy as they tell stories of great treasures they have recieved. Watch as Walter learns to adapt and finds love and acceptance as he pulls his uncles out of their reclusive lifestyles..

A hilarious yet sometimes serious movie.

National Treasure

This is my kind of movie great for history buffs and treasure seekers. Go on a colossal journey as they try to discover hidden treasure from a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

Nims Island

I really enjoyed this movie. The story is about a girl "Nim" who lives alone with her father on an Island in the South Pacific.
Thinking the character of her favorite book "an adventure series" is real. She enlists the author's help when her father goes missing.

Confusion, drama and hilarity ensue as they go on a journey that changes all of their lives.

P.S. I Love You

The death of a loved one is a devastating experience..

Through most of this movie I had a big lump in my throat. Oh yes I cried but I was also totally engrossed and captivated by the thought of how much her husband loved her. Watch her journey through grief with a little help from beyond the grave.
.
And I really liked the ending !
