Ack, clearly I was in denial about my DVD buying habits :) Edited and corrected.

The Electric Horseman I think you would love, given we have similar tastes in comfort movies :) Charming film with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, about a washed up rodeo star who is reduced to advertising breakfast cereal. Fonda plays a journalist. I can't summarise the plot more than that without giving too much away but it's a GREAT film. Nothing complicated, pretty light, but well acted and fun :)
