The STING

For these next five Friday Night movies, I will be posting all of Dan's favorites.

Big H and Uncle Dan

I am lucky to have a husband who loves the classic movies as much as I do. It did take some time to convert him though. So to all of you out there (or your not so excited husbands slash skeptical wives) who are having a hard time seeing the awesomeness in old movies, try these next five recommendations on for size. Believe me, you will LOVE them. Dan sure did, hehe.

First up, and possibly one of our all time favs . . .

Thanks Emily and Tim for watching this with us last weekend, wasn't it great?

Starring the very handsome

Robert Redford and the great Paul Newman

this 1973 film won 7 acadamy awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Costume Design and Best Musical Score.

The Plot: In 1930s Chicago, a young con man (Redford) seeking revenge for his murdered partner teams up with a master of the big con (Newman) to win a fortune from a criminal banker.

This movie is SO GOOD. The music and the acting? In the words of my Mother, "wowie zowie." Please rent it this weekend. I promise EVERYONE will love it.

For your information however: there is a bit of language and violence in this one, and one questionable dancer who could be covered a little better but that's it, really not bad. If you need to know the details click here for a full content rundown.

Happy weekend everybody.
