Family Movie Nights are an ongoing event in our family, and one we all enjoy greatly. We’ve really been having fun with the movies, too. Here are two of the most recent ones:

Heart and Souls
Hollow-hearted yuppie Robert Downey Jr. gets hot-wired to the ghosts of four people who died as he was being born. Their time in limbo is drawing to a close, just when his girlfriend (Elisabeth Shue) grows tired of his commitment phobia. To fend off being dumped, Downey must help the phantasmic four (Tom Sizemore, Kyra Sedgwick, Alfre Woodard and Charles Grodin) fulfill their final wishes.

Bandits
Bank robbers Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton battle over the affections of a woman (Cate Blanchett) they kidnap before one of their big heists. Adding insult to injury, they then force a TV show host to cover their 15 minutes of fame while they go on a bank-robbing spree -- Blanchett in tow -- and gain notoriety as "The Sleepover Bandits."

In light of these movie picks, I am actually thinking of changing my pick to a different movie. I had thought to show this movie:

The 11th Hour
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary on the global environmental crisis paints a portrait of a planet at risk while also offering some exciting and radical solutions for making life on earth sustainable. Tapping the brains of leading scientists and thinkers -- including Stephen Hawking and Mikhail Gorbachev -- the film ultimately delivers a hopeful message: Our planet may be in crisis, but that doesn't mean it's too late change.

But am now thinking we would enjoy either of these two instead:

Practical Magic
Sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman) Owens are modern-day witches whose love lives are complicated by an unusual curse: Men who fall in love with them meet untimely ends. Against the advice of their eccentric aunts, Frances (Stockard Channing) and Jet (Dianne Wiest), and even in the face of a murder investigation, the sisters continue to try their hands at romance in this romantic comedy.

The Core
The Earth's inner core has stopped spinning, and scientist Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart) must discover the cause before the world literally falls apart. He and a group of brilliant researchers burrow deep into the Earth's center in a subterranean vessel piloted by Maj. Beck Childs (Hilary Swank) and Col. Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood). There, they'll detonate a device that they hope will get the world to turn again ... before it's too late.

So many choices!
