started tracking in May
- The Sentinel (2006) Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland, Secret Service agents protecting the President. (DVD) 2009-05-06

- Son in Law (1993) South Dakota farm girl goes off to California to college. And meets the strange guy in the dorm and brings him home for Thanksgiving. (Dish) 2009-05-09
- Ladies in Lavender (2004) Quirky tale of 2 sisters who discover and nurse back to health a nearly-drowned man washed up on their beach. He speaks no English and just happens to be an amazing violinist. The sisters are oddly suspicious of each other, of Andrea, and of course Olga - the young painter. These 2 interesting actresses, Judi Dench and Maggie Smith (remember Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter?), are the only reason to watch this otherwise slow movie (DVD) 2009-05-15
- Mona Lisa Smile (2003) Wellesley College in the 1950s, young and modern art professor (Julia Roberts) learns while teaching. The big question: How do we reach our potential? Insider view of a stuffy academic institution where administrators and alumni boards rule. (DVD) 2009-05-19
- Father of the Bride (1950) The original with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. Flashback starting the morning after the wedding, plenty of disasters and surprises. Not the classic I expected - but everyone stuck with it! (DVD) 2009-05-23
- The Nutty Professor (1963) The original, and the classic, Jerry Lewis. What an icon from a different era of movies. Good for the whole family. (DVD) 2009-05-29
