DVD 60: Sunshine
On repeat viewing it's still a solid, entertaining thriller. Caught some more of the visual foreshadowing this time around, but otherwise there's nothing new - just a fun ride to go on again.

DVD 61: Sleeping Beauty
For a movie made 50 years ago, the animation stands up to most of what has come out recently. I hadn't watched this since I was too young to notice that it was stylized after medieval tapestries, but seeing that style applied to classic Disney is a nice touch. I was also amused to see that in a movie with a heroic prince, it's the otherwise comic relief fairies who drive most of the action. Plus Aurora is one of the rare Disney characters with two living parents. On the DVD side, there's some interesting features, the best of which is an old feature demonstrating the differing styles of four of the films animators as they paint the same tree.
