MOVIE NIGHT!
When you become a parent, movie night becomes both a regular thing and a fleeting thing. Yes, you are hermit-ted into your home by the inconvenience of having to transport your new bundle of joy and all of her accessories. But, No, of course you do not have the energy to stay up and watch a movie, and don't be ridiculous, the baby isn't going to remain calm and quiet for 2 consecutive hours. So, on the rare occasion, when the stars align, and you find yourself able to sit down and watch a movie as a parent, the stakes are higher. No time for cliches and duds. Parents need cinematic genius at their finger tips. So, I've complied a list for my own reference & to help spread great movies!Did we miss any?
