Jan posted this nice and early Friday Five about Movies:
Whenever daughter MJ comes home on breaks from college, I get to go to movies, which has me thinking about motion pictures. Plus, it is fun to watch rented dvd's at home, which my husband prefers.

I love movies, but rarely see them. It seems like our life is so busy, or should I say disorganized, that we most often watch TV. We probably go to more plays, or the ballet than the movies. I'd like to change this so I intend to buy the discount tickets that my union offers as an incentive.
- drama- I guess my second favorite- I loved up in the Air.
- comedy- Ok, I like Comedies, Romantic Comedies, but why don't they make girl and girl?
- foreign- sometimes
- children's- When I was a kid, my mother would take me and this is a nice memory.
- Lesbian Gay theme- Once a year in June we have the New Festival a Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in New York and I buy a membership because I finally can see films that mirror my life! I love it.

I'd like more diversity in orientation with movies too--especially comedies. Really it helps everyone see the real side of people, or so we think. I loved French Twist and I can't remember if it was in French or English, but it was funny and there were real people in it, not just hollywood clones.
There was a wonderful one with Ellen in it some years ago about 3 couples at 3 different eras and the things they had to face about being together. I can't remember the name but the part with Ellen D. was hilarious.
I'm sorry you miss out on romances as you experience them. I had not thought of that (in my unawareness), as my daughter and her partner enjoy hetero-romantic comedy movies. I remember only getting to see Walt Disney and Jerry Lewis movies when I was growing up.
That going to movies with Mum comment brought back good memories for me of going with my Aunt - Wizard of Oz and Thomasina (the first movie I cried in!) And the report back I got the first time my littlest one went to a movie with a caregiver. She told the caregiver that her knee was alright to sit on but Mum's is warmer :-)
