A birthday movie tradition

February can be a tough month to make it out to the theater. After all, it snows constantly, and snuggling up in front of the fireplace is usually more appealing than trekking out in your waterproof boots. Also, the movies that are out in February fall into two categories for the most part, in our opinion: Oscar nominees, and terrible, terrible romantic comedies. We should know. Our birthday is in February, and we go to the movies every year on our birthday; we’ve caught a healthy mix of the good and the bad. Since our birthday just passed last Friday, we thought it would be fun to recall all of the birthday movies we’ve seen (and remember) from over the years. Chances are if you’re reading this post, you’ve been with us in the theater at least once or twice. So how ’bout it…you up for a birthday movie tradition yourself? (We’ve stayed true to our tradition for at least the past nine years; click on the links below for proof.)

    Funny. I’m almost certain I went to my Father, The Hero on my birthday too! I’m a February baby too :)
