My body decided to stay home from work yesterday. After a nap to recover from driving Critter to camp, then watching daytime television for about 18 minutes, I decided to look for a movie on Netflix. The home page boasted a category created just for me: Understated Dramas Featuring a Strong Female Lead.
I burst out laughing.
When it's all over, I would love for my life story to have been interesting enough to hold a viewer's attention. It certainly had its tense moments, but the redemption in the second half and the happy ending made it the feel-good movie of the year. Not a big studio production, but one of those quiet indie cinema verité flicks, maybe shot with a hand-held camera. Understated.
I wonder how many other people's "just for you" categories so perfectly describe their innermost desires for their own lives.
And then this happened...

my top one is: "classic cerebral romantic movies" and then "talking animal children's movies."
