Now I have something to add to my Pride and Prejudice collection :). I do have BBC's 1995 version with Colin Firth, as well as the most recent theater version. LOL about your son.<br /><br />I'll watch anything with Colin. I loved him in Love Actually too. And Keanu is a cutie ;)<br /><br />Yes, comfort and destressing. Gives new meaning to getting some R&R. Read-repeat or rewind-repeat LOL.Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349124532504569358.post-89593069336640141412012-01-25T09:02:23.664-05:002012-01-25T09:02:23.664-05:00Hi Rula--My daughter watched the 1980 BBC Pride an...Hi Rula--My daughter watched the 1980 BBC Pride and Prejudice so many times during college that I had to buy her a new disk for Christmas her senior year. She'd worn the old one out. My son, who lived with her, probably knows more about Pride and Prejudice than the average male. I'm proud to say she got the rewatch tendency from me. Once when I was a wee bit stressed out I watched The Replacements three times in five days. It made me feel good watching Keanu and the boys do the Electric Slide.Jeannie Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293697477001315357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349124532504569358.post-74459208453649917252012-01-24T19:26:07.780-05:002012-01-24T19:26:07.780-05:00Hey Kathy!

I do leave some time in between to 'forget', but how long just depends on the movie/book and my mood. I think I did watch Ever After (the cinderella story with Drew Barrymore) back to back once. I just loved the 'how it really happened' twist, and the more kick-ass cinderella :) The prince kept me coming back too ;)Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349124532504569358.post-65800687341492000322012-01-24T18:19:46.629-05:002012-01-24T18:19:46.629-05:00Rula, that is so funny about your son falling asle...Rula, that is so funny about your son falling asleep with his arms in the air! SO great that your boys inherited your love of reading. I can't imagine life without books. There are some movies I'll watch and re-watch, but there has to be some time in between, so there are a *few* surprises (unless we're talking Pride and Prejudice). :-) Same with books--I rarely re-read, but when I do it's classics like Rebecca or Emma. I don't know, I guess I just don't like knowing what's going to happen. :-) Hope you're staying warm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349124532504569358.post-90174162437526274192012-01-24T10:29:40.317-05:002012-01-24T10:29:40.317-05:00Hey Maria - Yes, part of the comfort is it doesn&#...Hey Maria - Yes, part of the comfort is it doesn't require as much concentration the second time around ;) You can veg out a bit. And I love those movies too. I'll watch any romance with Meg Ryan.<br /><br />Hi Stina - Finally I'm not alone! LOL.

When my son listed a book he'd read earlier in the year on his free reading list, his teacher questioned it. When I told her that he really did re-read it cover to cover...and that I too re-read books...she was shocked lol. She'd never re-read a book before and didn't think anyone did.<br /><br />I also keep books whether I re-read them or not. Yes, bookshelves become an issue lol.Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349124532504569358.post-84989035195583254122012-01-23T17:58:03.753-05:002012-01-23T17:58:03.753-05:00Mostly I'm not a rereader.
