Movies on DVD thread 2

I watched a gripping drama last night titled As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me - a German film that is subtitled but don't let that put you off, when you get absorbed the subtitles don't seem to matter or bother. Based on a true story of a German soldier at the end of WWII held captive in a wa-aay far east Siberian labor camp at Yakutsk, his escape and subsequent travels over about 8000 miles (on foot) back to his home and family in Germany.  It took about 7 years from 1945 'til about 1952.  I was beat by the end of the movie. 

As far as my feet.....sounds interesting. At my last Army post in Germany...we rented a small apartment from an old lady with a similar story.  She didn't walk as far but no idea exactly where she started. But she walked, she said, just one step ahead of the advancing Soviet army as the German retreated.  

I watched it ..  .. and it was fun, especially if you believe in fairies.  I tried football but couldn't get into the Oklahoma State vs Louisiana Lafayette game or the Rutgers game so what's a feller to do?

HeeHee...that was my thought exactly...that's what grandfolks are for...

So...we...a jury of your peers....find you guilty....of being a loving and concerned grandpa. 

Not a movie for adventure, action, chases, or education but a fun watch - Serendipity.  A kind of romantic unlikely tale with John Kusak and Kate Bekensale and entertaining for about an hour an a half.

We enjoyed that movie very much.  It was quit a surprise.

Documentary - Thomas Jefferson - 3 hour CD that will surprise and maybe delight you in part, maybe destroy some of your illusions about the man in part.  I have only watched the first half so far but it is really interesting, at least to me.  Sometimes I hesitate to put documentaries in my queue because action, adventure, and dramas are usually so entertaining but I'm usually always glad when I get and watch them.  Betcha you'll like it.

Two I've never heard of. But will check into.

The first "Home Alone" was magical.
