Do Over

Do you remember being five or so and calling ‘do overs’? I think of ‘do overs’ at this time of year when the television starts promoting It’s A Wonderful Life. I know it is not exactly a do over movie, in the strictest sense, but still…

At any rate, I will confess here, that I hate that movie.

I’m not really sure why I hate the movie. I like the cast. I’ve read it got terrible reviews when it came out, and that alone usually makes me like something for its underdog qualities, but there is just something about THAT particular film I just can’t warm up to.

There are however, other 'do over' movies I find charming in their own ways. So, as the days grow colder, and you’d like to curl up under a blanket with a good movie, here are some other ‘do over’ movies I would highly recommend.

50 First Dates

What would you do if the girl you were in love with couldn't remember you?

The Lake House

Since I'm confessing things, it's true, anything that stars Keanu and I'm there... but this love story out of time, is very touching.
