It is absolutely the most perfect afternoon to grab some Pizza Hut and throw on Jerry Maguire.

No matter how many times I’ve seen it, I will always come back to this movie at least once a year. It has EVERYTHING I look for in a film: comedy, a wicked/believable romance, a middle-aged guy trying to come to terms with his place in the world, and Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’.” 

Other movies to consider watching on an autumn afternoon when school and other responsibilities can be put off for a day:

• The Life Aquatic
• Pulp Fiction
• Magnolia
• There Will Be Blood
• Annie Hall
• American Beauty

Any other recommendations? 

EDIT: …$17 for a medium stuffed-crust pizza. really pizza hut?
