Flicks

We like flicks.  We get 'em in the mail, we get 'em from Redbox, we stream 'em, we see 'em at the cinema.  We abhor commercials and advertising of any kind but especially the radio and TV kind.  Thus, we have satellite radio in our cars and watch maybe 8 hours of TV a year: academy and CMA awards and the Superbowl.

Recently, we've re watched some old favorites.  Relatively old.  We're talking Lee Marvin & Clint Eastwood-old, not Tom Mix and Hopalong Cassidy-old.  Westerns: Paint Your Wagon, Cat Ballou were recent oldy-goodies; Waterhole Number 3 coming soon.  Billy Bobs: Pushing Tin and Bandits; both of these are hoots and Trish hadn't seen them before.  Our last trek to the cinema was to see The Avengers, loved the droll humor and special effects.

Although TV is out, TV series are not; we get them via streaming or DVD.  The Closer and Mad Men are both high on our list and we were sad to see Doc Martin come to an end.  There have been numerous others that didn't make the cut.  I'd guess the go/no go ratio is about 1:5.  Currently, it's The Defenders, Burn Notice and Dollhouse - okay but not fantastic.

Okay, readers, your turn.  What great flicks might we be missing?  And what TV series that have run more than one season?  Broaden our horizons, if you please.  Don't bother with horror, supernatural, vampires and so on.  Never did get into that crap.

PS: After posting this and going back to do the spell check I forgot, I noticed the proximity of this post to the previous one about wabbits.  That brought to mind an excellent flick set in 1931 Australia, called Rabbit Proof Fence.  Seen it?
