I do have to admit to really liking While You Were Sleeping.

The family dinner takes the cake, and is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes!

And, if you're in the mood for schmaltz, you can throw in The Family Man (Nicolas Cage) for good measure. Not nearly as good as While You Were Sleeping, but still worth watching. Extra points are awarded for his choice of car and choice of wife!

Die Hard is showing on 12/14 at the Alamo Westlakes in San Antonio Texas.

There is very little of interest to me this holiday season...

but I'd happily pay full price to see Die Hard on the big screen if it was showing near me.

Me too! I would love to see that movie with digital sound. When it first came out we were still 'mono'...are there any Dolby prints around?

I saw It's a Wonderful Life last night at the Continental in Denver on their giant 35' tall screen.

There were probably 150-200 people there. I doubt there were 150 people in all 9 other auditoriums showing current releases.

It was my first time seeing IaWL. My wife and I both liked it a lot.

The print was in great shape, the presentation was terrific, and the audience was awesome. The tension and anticipation in the room was palpable when George starts to "lose it" toward the end.
