Bond, maybe you could watch LIVE AND LET DIE; that has some dressup in it.

How could you forget Sleepy Hollow?
That reminds me: A View to a Kill; Christopher Walken as a Nazi racehorse breeder.

I enjoyed that. Good pick. Had some Walken action in it, too.

Bond, I have a feeling you watch 007 films to get in the mood for Christmas, Hanukkah, and you just finished watching Moonraker for Ramadan.

Nah, I never watch Moonraker; bad juju.
Although, for Kwanzaa, it's always fun to rip into Live and Let Die. Nothing gets you into the spirit of a black holiday more than a racist Bond film.

I haven't been able to bring my full DVD collection to the dorm (because that would just be silly), but I grabbed these to watch throughout the month last time I went home:
Army of Darkness (and downloaded Evil Dead 1 and 2)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Corpse Bride
Beetlejuice (I loves me some Beetlejuice - ever since I was a little kid. He is, without a doubt, the Ghost With the Most. )
I also have Shaun of the Dead (which is good for any time, because it's just that awesome), and Secret Window, but that was mainly because I haven't watched it in a while. I normally fit a Freddy Krueger movie in there, but I'm not really in the mood for that these days. They've definitely fallen into the "more in love with the concept than the actual films" category with me.
(Dammit, why didn't I grab my copy of Sleepy Hollow?!)
