I don't really watch television.
I get my news as much of the world does: off the Internet.
In fact, the World Wide Web has become my constant information, constant conversation environment, but I do enjoy films.
This last time I did this, January 25, 2008, I had listed about 75 movies rented via Netflix:

I had forgotten about the DVD's in the library!

Annie Leibovitz
The Yacoubian Building
In addition to the Leibovitz documentary, I brought home the DVD from Hillwood, the former estate of Marjorie Merriweather Post in Washington, D.C., and which visit I may recommend to any who love either gardens or Russian art and iconography or both.

In the last month for home viewing:
Hotel Rwanda, In the Time of the Butterflies, The Jackal and The Painted Veil.
In the beloved movie category, "The Yacoubian Building". The book is also lovely.
