A Dozen You Say?

This is a special post for my sister Cats & her Hubby to commemorate Monday, September 1st. What better way to celebrate than with a movie marathon? So, go grab a dozen donuts & a pair of six-packs and settle in.

Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) - Start with this family flick just in case you haven't yet pawned the kids off on Mom & Dad. Why yes, it sucked. But it fits the theme! Seriously, I would have snipped something off after the first 4 or 5. Oy!

The Dirty Dozen (1967) - Now we're talkin'. Remember this movie makes grown men cry.*

12 Angry Men (1957) - You've watched a bad family flick & a good old-fashioned war movie. Now it's time for serious. And who's more serious than Juror #8 (Henry Fonda?)

Ocean's Twelve (2004) - Maybe not as good as Ocean's 11, but who cares. It's got Brad Pitt & Catherine Zeta-Jones. Something for everyone!

Twelfth Night (1996) - Cross dressing & Shakespeare? Don't worry, it's a comedy. Someone's got to be alive at the end. ;-)

Twelve Monkeys (1995) - No, I'm not crazy! If you can survive 12 years of marriage and this movie marathon, clearly you can handle a mentally insane guy from the future. Granted you've only been eating donuts and drinking beer all day. Oh well...

* From Sleepless In Seattle:
Sam Baldwin: Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!
Greg: She's, as you just saw, very emotional.
Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."
Greg: Who didn't?
Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin
[Begins to cry]
Sam Baldwin: were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!
Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez...
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg: Stop.
Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.
