Grapes of Wrath is on Fox Movie Channel right now. Timely and ironic.

Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed it - haven't read the book.

Tower Heist was entertaining but the story was a stretch and the acting was a little forced- I'd give it a 3/5

I saw Freedom Writers with Hilary Swank on cable recently for the first time, it was better then I thought it would be.

E.T. Probably haven't seen it for nearly 20 years. Still a great movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The flying bikes didn't hold up well at all, and the full-on astronauts crashing into the house seems pretty laughable now. But that scene where Michael finds E.T. in the ditch is still terrifying to me. And it still produces a lot of laughs and emotion.

Was interested because I recently bumped into this (note the 'et2' in the address there):
