Okay, it's a bit crowded in the dkw living room, what with all manner of boxes, wires and extra furniture that didn't fit in my little rental house. But I finally had a day to unpack the non-essentials and I managed to move the stereo, DVD/VCR and digital projector into a usable position in the room.
First movie shown: Finding Nemo. In widescreen format, I was able to project it onto the wall at about 4 feet tall and 6+ feet wide. I think we can forego hanging up the screen since her the wall is fairly smooth and painted a matte white.
So...what shall we watch? Anyone for a LOTR extended edition marathon?

I would like to see a nice movie about nature with lots of mountains in it. And sunshine. I bring my own dealcoholized white wine. And peanuts.

Bob, Are you moved up to dkw's town now? Please update me, as I have been out of the news loop. As for movies, I have no suggestions, since my taste is odd. I would just suggest serving some good chocolate with the popcorn.

My niece loaned me the Firefly DVDs. I haven't watched them all yet because I can't find the remote to the DVD player. I can only watch the first item on the DVD and I want to watch them in order. So I've only seen the first (two-part) episode.

Oooh, ooh, oooh - I have a request! I just discovered this movie (shocking, I know, but that's what happens when you live a contemplative lifestyle)

And if there's time, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy? Yes please.

MMMMmmmmmmmmm.... Colin Firth... MMMMMMMMMM. And, while we're at it, it may as well become a Colin Firth fest, with Valmont being next on the list. Although, that ones kinda' racy. We might want to leave before it comes on . So, instead, we could watch Bridget Jones' Diary over and over. And over. Yeah. Drive all the boys away.

I was actually away doing church stuff when he set this up, so I got to see it working for the first time last night. We watched Indiana Jones. That movie is a lot stupider than I remember it being. But it was fun.
This is also the first time I’ve had media equipment in my house that requires wires to hook pieces to other pieces. Separate speakers! And amplifiers! And stuff.

Clue. It's perfect to watch while snuggling and falling asleep because it's just as good as a radio show.

Plenty of good suggestions, but I have to say that nothing compares to seeing Lawrence of Arabia on a big screen. The cinematography is truly awesome! Plus, it's number one of my ten favorite films of all time.

Oo, oo, The Great Escape (my favorite movie ever). I want to be Steve McQueen in the worst way. Except for the being dead part.
