Jamie Oliver: Happy Days Live
The curry song along makes this worth the rental. Plus, recipe cards are included on the DVD, so you do not have to write down the recipe as he goes along.
The Thomas Crown Affair
Maybe the original was better, but this version made me regret that I chose this as a reward for having a good workout.

Other comments?
I ended up seeing the screening with the on screen captions. The audience had a lot of hearing impaired people who did not scream or jump as much as me. I appreciated that I did not have to worry about ruining the experience for other audience members by my antics. Although, at one point, my friend turned to me and said, "Stop it! You are freaking me out!"
