Me and my dad saw <I>4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days</I> together a few months ago.<BR/><BR/>We have family traditions too. Like, every year we went to see the LOTR films together (happiest movie experiences of my life) and we still all make the trek out to see the new Harry Potter films, even though both my sister and I have grown out of them. It's still nice to make an occasion out of it, though, even if it's just to slag Daniel Radcliffe's acting all the way home together.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258493877737555910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-80448865762105791212008-05-17T13:22:00.000-04:002008-05-17T13:22:00.000-04:00With Mom, I guess Cars?

Since the 1997 Special Edition, it was our little tradition that I went to each successive <I>Star Wars</I> movie with my Mom (quality be damned! ;) ), and for the last episode Dad, who hates sci-fi, unexpectedly expressed the will to join us. We've all quite liked it, and had an ice-cream together after the film, and it was an awesome afternoon. :)<BR/><BR/>These days, convincing them to go see a film after I've already seen and liked it, is as close as it gets to going together. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
