Movie Madness...

After the success of the Missus not buying clothes in 2012 she has adopted a no-TV-watching policy for 2013. She can, however, watch movies and boxsets so we're currently stocking up boxsets we haven't seen and are also making lists of movies we haven't seen and were refining the rules of the movie list.

'I obviously don't mean I want to watch every movie I've never seen. For example I've not seen Cocoon III...' states the Missus.

'I didn't know there was one,' I reply, stunned that the idea could be stretched out to two movies let alone three.

'We should only include important or classic films and one of us can't have seen them,' she continues.

'There are loads of classic films I've never seen all the way through. I've never sat down and fully watched Casablanca or Citizen Kane...'

'We'll include those on the list.'

'I've also never seen Ran all the way through, which is ridiculous because I love Kurosawa. And I've never seen Debbie Does Dallas.'

It is at this point the Missus stops and stares.

'That's a porn film, isn't it?'

'Yes but it I'd quite like to see it.'

'Why?'

'Well, for a start, it's a classic 1970s film and as such I think it's quite an important cultural artefact. It also has significant cache because it's one of those films that was released around the time when it almost became acceptable for adults to go to the cinema and watch porn just like any other film. I've read lots about the film and that period so I think I'd like to see it...'

The Missus sighs and goes into the kitchen. I take this as a good sign because while it means it's not on the list it also means it's not definitely off it. 

Who knows? I may be able to get Deep Throat included, too. I won't tell her that I've actually seen that in its entirety...
