Re: Wacky Wednesday Poll
2) Worst movie you've seen recently Daybreakers. My friend promised we'd enjoy it, but it was awful.
3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie You've Got Mail, Beauty and the Beast. Both are my had-a-bad-day movies.
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime I'm not sure. I'm not a movie buff. There are tons of movies I haven't seen that everyone has and loves. I pretty much watch to be entertained. Lots of Disney and romantic comedies. I guess I'd say everyone should have a favorite Disney movie.
Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Confession: Yes. It's coming down this weekend! It's fake and I love the twinkle lights to be on at night while I read or watch TV.
2) Worst movie you've seen recently See above
3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie-Practical Magic, Hope Floats, Step-Brothers,
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime -Hmmm, this is hard. Maybe 'Everything is Illuminated'. For some reason that movie really touched a nerve with me.
Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Nope. I took it down before New Years.

3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie: Enchanted
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime: Shawshank Redemption is the first to come to mind.
Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? We took our tree down but we are still eating off our Christmas dishes.
3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie You've Got Mail or Father of the Bride. I've seen them so many times at this point, it's rediculous
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime Schnidler's List
Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Yes, but it's naked and I don't turn the lights on it. It's just a matter of not being lazy and taking it down now (it's fake)
2) Worst movie you've seen recently ? Can't think of anything. I haven't seen much lately.
3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie Ever After
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime Avatar
Probably The Hobbit back in December

4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime
When Harry Met Sally... It's just so good.
Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Nope. came down on NY Day.
2) Worst movie you've seen recently See above

Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Yes, but I'm determined to get it down this weekend. Or maybe next weekend...

Wes: 10/8/2012
2) Worst movie you've seen recently ??? I have no idea. Maybe Breaking Dawn part 2 although I didn't watch the entire thing.
3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie So many. Sixteen Candles; Office Space; Anything Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; The Magnificent Seven; The King and I; The Lost Boys; Duel in the Sun; Mean Girls; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; 300; An Affair to Remember
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime An Affair to Remember
Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? I still have one up in the gazebo. I turned the timer off so it doesn't light up, but I haven't taken the tree down because I don't want to have to drag everything the 500 feet through the mounds of snow in order to get to the tree and then drag everything back through the snow to the house. It is easier to wait for the thaw and take it down then.
2) Worst movie you've seen recently Sharknado. DH talked me into watching it on Netflix last week. He thought it was terribly bad in a funny way. I thought it was just awful.
3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie: Happy Gilmore (or sometimes Billy Madison or perhaps Tommy Boy. One of those types).
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime Fried Green Tomatoes. I totally agree with pp on this. I've probably seen this movie 100 times.
ETA: Bonus. I finally got mine down 4 days ago and it was driving me nuts! It's so time consuming to put up and take down and dh refuses to help me. We put it in the upstairs living room that we rarely use and I'm thinking next year I just might not bother with it.

3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie - I don't feel guilty about any of the movies I watch, but I do have a soft spot for cheesy 80's dance movies. One in particular is Fast Forward about a dance group from Ohio that goes to NYC for a competition and shenanigans ensue.
4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime - Inception.

3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie Indian Summer, Housesitter (Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn)
