Visual/Movie Recommendations:

Egg And I video cover The Egg and I
Format: VHS
This film also shares the first appearance of the loveable rural couple, Ma and Pa Kettle. If you've married and moved to the country to start up an egg farm, can you relate?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail video cover Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Format: VHS
A truly classic film! Who can forget the Knights Who Say Ni and the poor guy who clapped together halves of coconuts as he followed King Arthur all over the countryside! The big question though: Will King Arthur find the Holy Grail?

Monty Python's Meaning of Life video cover Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Format: VHS
The British comedy team struck again, this time using their comedic wit in another time period. Not as funny, in my opinion, as Monty Python and the Holy Grail but does have some classic Monty Python touches in it.

Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair video cover Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair
Format: VHS
Ma has her hands full! One of her children is in love and the state fair is around the corner. Will love prevail? Will Ma win the jam or quilting contest? And will she keep Pa 'motivated'? Can anyone keep Pa 'motivated'?

Ma and Pa Kettle in Wakiki video cover Ma and Pa Kettle at Waikiki
Format: VHS
Ma in a grass skirt? Pa playing the ukele? And will Waikiki ever be the same after being visited by the loveable country-bumpkin couple?

Groundhog's Day video cover Groundhog Day
Format: VHS
What would you do if you were given chances to relive a day and "get it right"? That is the premise of this movie; a conceited, self-centered reporter is assigned to cover Groundhog Day live in Pennsylvania - over and over and over...

My Big Fat Greek Wedding video cover My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Format: VHS
Ok, girl meets boy - that much is given away by the title, so not a suprise. But when boy proposes to girl ... well, that's a whole different thing! Can you relate?

Cover of Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House
Format: VHS
A man wants to buy and fix up a house to be a dream home for himself and his family. What can go wrong? Those who have tried home repair and remodeling projects, can you relate?

National Lampoon's Animal House video cover National Lampoon's Animal House
Format: VHS
A classic from the late 1970's as an underdog fraternity, with John Belushi playing one of the frat brothers, makes its presence known on a college campus. Can you say it a little bit louder now?

Harvey Harvey
Format: DVD or VHS
A Jimmy Stewart classic and he acted the part oh-so-well of being the only person who could see and talk to a 6 foot tall rabbit named Harvey! Supposedly, according to rumor, talked about being remade - with John Travolta trying to fill Jimmy Stewart's shoes.

Ma and Pa Kettle Video link Ma and Pa Kettle
Format: VHS
Their first appearance in The Egg And I had audiences wanting more of this casual-in-attitude but loving couple with the passle of children in tow ...

Ma and Pa Kettle On Vacation video link Ma and Pa Kettle on Vacation
Format: VHS
Will Paris be the same after this loveable country-bumpkin couple spends time in town? Well, you will have to watch the movie to find out the answer.

Arsenic & Old Lace Arsenic And Old Lace
Format: DVD or VHS
A man, on his wedding day, finds out a secret about his aunts. Add into the mix his two brothers (one who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt), a new policeman to the neighborhood, a taxi driver (who waits as told), and the new bride who wants to leave for their honeymoon.

The Long, Long Trailer video cover The Long, Long Trailer
Format: VHS
A Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz classic! A married couple decides to buy a trailer ... not just any trailer, but one that inspires the title of this movie!

Ghost and Mr. Chicken video cover The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Format: VHS
A film with Don Knotts, with all of his wonderful comedic facial expressions, casted as Mr. Chicken! The ghost doesn't stand a chance!

Ma and Pa Kettle at Home video cover Ma and Pa Kettle at Home
Format: VHS
Ma and Pa weren't the richest folks, monetarily wise that is. So what happens when Ma and Pa win a 'dream home'?
