We have been really "burning the Netflix oil" lately...it's a great, easy, cheap sort of stay-in date night. Two of our recent pics have quickly flown to the top ten list:

Eagle vs. Shark~


Every review I read of this movie says it's like Napoleon Dynamite. I didn't think so. It's much more complicated, probably because it's dealing with grown-ups who are acting like high schoolers, instead of just dealing with high schoolers. The awkwardness and tenderness are thrown in much greater relief, and the affect is much more satisfying. I thought about this movie for several days after I saw it. Lovely.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind~


This is a Hayao Miyazaki film that was made in 1985, but it is still one of the most indelible of his films I've seen. An epic of the highest order, it doesn't drag the way some epics tend to...which made it a thoroughly enjoyable ride!
