Does anyone own a season of Fresh Prince??

Life Lesson #42: Themed Movie Marathons = Awesome.

It started back in October. Obviously, we were only watching Halloween movies the whole month. This includes children's seasonal movies, horrors, suspense, thrillers, Hitchcocks, MST3k, Vampire flicks, Slasher flicks, or anything involving Stephen King. In connection with this, we started the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Now it is November, and we continue to watch Buffy. I decided that this series falls in a broader category of film: 90's Movies. November is now 90's Movie Month. We can watched such favorites as Ernest Goes to Jail, The Mummy, Galaxy Quest, Independence Day, Wayne's World, and Adam Sandler.

Inspired by my ingenious plan, my friends are now planning the next few months based on the kind of audio-video entertainment we will indulge in. December is obviously for Christmas movies, January will probably be Sci-Fi month. In February I suggest we do half a month of Musicals and half a month of Kung-fu.

To help us prepare for the year ahead of us, what are some genres of film we should watch in the future? And, to help with this month, what is your favorite film from the 90's?

  2. You should add the coolest movie of the 90’s, Jurassic Park. Some of your line-up could include historical dramas, warfare movies, 80’s popularity pusher movies, man vs. nature month or survival month, time travel movies, fantasy month (because everyone KNOWS you don’t mix fantasy with sci-fi unless you are the writers of Lost), and possibly foreign movie or subtitle month.
