We have a new independent theater in town that shows some great movies. Just saw "Best in Show" over the weekend and "Songcatcher" the weekend before. I recommend either one to your attention. "Best in Show" may be available on video or DVD now (spoof of prestigious kennel shows). "Songcatcher" is about early 20th century efforts to record Irish/Scottish/English ballads in the Appalachia area which retained a purity of form going back 200 years. Janet McTeer and Aidan Quinn star. Full of blue grass banjo and vocal ballads. Both movies have lesbian and/or gay couples so might not fall into your idea of a family movie but are worthwhile for adult viewing. I thought the lesbian couple in "Songcatcher" were portrayed in a sensitive manner that encourages empathy and might increase tolerance or acceptance in audience members.
(The appropriate drink for watching "Songcatcher" is probably moonshine. For "Best of Show" you could pop the cork on a bottle of Champagne when the top dog is announced.)
