The Harry Potter movies are very good, and I was very surprised when my wife dragged me kicking and screaming to the couch to watch the first one. I've seen them all, and they do get better as the kids get older. However, I outright refuse to touch any of the Twilight movies.
@Buster - Are you talking about these?
And while soccer isn't my favorite thing to watch, it has its excitement, and I like the fact that it's over and done with at around 2 hours. But to each their own.
