My husband and I subscribe to Netflix for most of our movie-watching. (However, the luxury of sitting down to a movie comes to a grinding halt when our dinner cruise

effort. So I went online and ordered four upbeat flicks. Here's our
list:
1) Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
PSST! I feature all sorts of tips like this on my friendly, monthly newsletter, the UpBeet Gardener.
