Preparing for a May movie event

So...many years ago (in an employment far far away), I spend a few enjoyable years working for Hollywood Video.   As a nut about movies, there were few places where visual happiness could be found (now there is the Internet where Netflix and other such sites are available).  When working there, it would not have been unheard of me to watch 4-5 new movies in a single day.  Now a days, I'm lucky to watch 4-5 new movies in a month.  And those typically are children/family films.  I probably do watch more then that but it doesn't feel like it.

Anyway, as a challenge and a treat for me, I am going to attempt to watch a movie a day in the month of May (I know that rhymes, how annoying right).  I'm going to select a different movie from the 1st to the 31st.  Hopefully they will all be new movies I have not seen (I have several in my Netflix queue), but I know that there will be a few repeats in there (like "The Princess Bride" or "Deadpool" which I could watch over and over again).  On 3 days (our family movie nights as they are planned), I will be at the mercy of my wife and kids as they will get to pick what we watch.

Overall, I think this is a very doable challenge and I look forward to the task of picking the movies.  Any and all suggestions are welcomed (my friend Amy recommended ""This Is Where I Leave You") and I'll try to mix them in with a few I already have planned.

This is going to be fun!!
