Picking the Best Movies to Watch in the Wake of the Terror Attacks"Movie rentals are up in the days since the terrorist attacks," says Kevin Eikenberry, author of the forthcoming Magical Movies: Enriching Your Life Through the Most Inspiring Movies of All Time. "One reason for the increase is that people got tired of watching the news. That was a short term phenomenon, but more importantly, now they are looking for ways to be more connected with the people in their life. Movies can help us find or build that connection, especially if we select our movies wisely," says Eikenberry. He goes on to say that the process of watching a movie can help build connections and provide group comfort, but the discussion of the movie, its themes and story lines can make movies even more powerful. |
