Surgery is next Tuesday. So considering I'll be banished to the sofa for the better part of next week, I'm looking for recommendations of movies to rent to stay entertained.
We've got a good collection of ski and bike movies but not much else.
Give me some ideas - old, new, whatever...
I'd opt for maybe a season or two of a good tv show - a full season will keep you occupied for at least 3 or 4 days. Sopranos? Curb your enthusiasm? I'm not huge on Six Feet Under, but it gets the thumbs up from lots of folks.

The Royal Tenenbaums
All the Indiana Jones movies

I swear every time I've been awake at some ungodly hour flipping through channels this movie is on cable. Definitely cheesy, but for some reason I've seen it like 3 times now...Quote:

We've rented them as they came out on video, but now that I think about it the early episodes were so good that's not a bad idea...Quote:

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
Unfortunately I've been back at work for over a week now... :(
Still have a nice supply of Lortab though. Mostly to get me through weekends of hearing how great the skiing was. ;)
