pass the popcorn, please

Walmart is a dangerous place. They have a $5 DVD bin in the main aisle that beckons to me when the girls and I make our weekly shopping excursion after work on Tuesdays. I am not the only one getting caught in this trap. The three of us (and this week we allowed a male fourth party to join us) surround the 5X5 foot cage of cinematic treasures and dig to find anything actually worth $5. Joe Dirt is a terribly unpopular movie. I've never seen it, but can only guess that there is good reason for this. In fact, most of the movies in the bin are atrocious. Or unheard of. However, there is an occasional rare find. And this is why we can be found relentlessly pawing through the pile for a good 5 minutes.

Last week it was the Coen brothers classic Fargo.



And one of my favorite comedies Airplane!



This week it was The Family Stone, which is a semi-chick flick movie I enjoy for unknown reasons. SJP is not aesthetically pleasing, so don't ask me.




Fiddler on the Roof, which I feel needs no explanation.



And 13 Going On 30, which is just fun to watch and reminds me of Emily a little bit.



In addition to the ingenious $5 bin, there was a new selection of DVD's on sale for $7.50. This is even more dangerous. If you're already purchasing movies for $5 who's stopping you from spending a few bucks more in order to get better movies. No one stopped me, that's for certain.

I added Last of the Mohicans to my cart. I own it on VHS, but sadly had to leave it in Michigan. This is one of my favorite books and movies. The ending makes me cry.



And lastly, Wedding Crashers. It's just plain hilarious. And I used to have it at my disposal whenever I pleased, but then I broke up with whats-his-face. Not that there's any regrets there.



Somebody stop me please! These are all movies I desire to have in my cinematic arsenal, but there needs to be an end to the madness!
