Several of these are on my Wish List! My wife and I loved Win Win. I love Swingers, partly for the fact it includes a Deep Space Nine reference. And I simply have to have those “Ernest” movies! Ernest Scared Stupid freaked me out; Eartha Kitt was creepy in that. Ernest Saves Christmas remains one of my favorite Christmas movies. In fact, I’m currently lobbying a local theater to make that this year’s Christmas week midnight movie!
