the official 611 baby movie list
December 3rd, 2009 nickThese movies have kept us well entertained during and after pregnancy. Not many surprises in here, but hopefully one or two that you haven’t heard of…
Kebab Connection — a cute German movie about an accidental pregnancy with subplot of Turkish-German relations. (Available on Netflix, in case you’re wondering)
Away we go — Dave Eggers is never as good as I think he should be, but this might be an exception. Not too hip, just funny enough, not too syrupy, this movie strikes a lot of the right notes.
Where the Wild Things Are – We laughed, we bawled. Beautiful puppets, if you can call them that (ok, so they’re computer enhanced), and beautiful scenery. The last three weeks have given a whole new meaning to the words “We’ll eat you up we love you so.”
Planet Earth — Amidst the breathtaking nature filming, there are lots of reminders of the parenting that goes on in every corner of this world every day. We’re still working our way through this series, but it has helped put our nesting instincts in perspective.
March of the Penguins — Ditto above, but even more so on how they make human parenting seem like a frickin’ walk in the park. We might lose a few hours of sleep here and there, but there’s none of this standing out in the cold for four months without food crap.
Babies — Okay, so we haven’t seen this one yet, but the trailer makes it look like a whole lot of fun. And it may or may not have reduced one of us to tears in our post-partum, sleep-deprived delirium.
No new Oscar pictures. Or rather, we just haven’t uploaded them yet. More are on the way, we promise.
