I find movies not only entertaining but also like self help material. I watch characters, see how they act, react and watch and see how life scenarios are played out and the things about people I like or don't, and use them as a learning experience as well as an entertaining one.
I have hundreds of DVD's like these. I will be listing more as my time permits. Thanks, Harry
