Well, I've taken to the tradition of always watching It's A Wonderful Life for Christmas. Cliched, I now, but I still go with it.

Die Hard, It's a Wonderful Life, and all three Charlie Brown specials. There are some others that I might not fit in every year.

I usually work in Serenity for one of the challenges as well.

I don't watch any films once a year. I wait several years between viewings of favorites, the better to appreciate them all over again.

I won't get down to Texas, but some people in the area might want to know where they can see Lawrence in 70mm (and annually?).
