With several friends requesting blankets for baby showers, I'm now on a first-name basis with the employees at the local fabric store and have finally trained my dogs to not bug mommy while she is sewing.  I like to have something on in the background to keep me entertained while I make my blankets.  Here are some of my favorites (and why):
- "Grey's Anatomy" reruns.  My mom finally got her DVDs back (after holding my dogs hostage).
 
-  27 Dresses - James Marsden's dimples, the horrendous dresses, Judy Greer as the funny sidekick.
 
- The Italian Job - Seth Green's funny one-liners, Mark Wahlberg, and Charlize Theron as a kick-butt heroine. 
 
- The American President - Classic.  No further explanation. 
 
- Failure to Launch - Bradley Cooper & Justin Bartha.  And Zooey Deschanel's snarky war against the mockingbird.
 
-  Confessions of a Shopaholic - My boyfriend rented this movie for me after a bad day at work.  I thought it was going to be lame until I found myself racing for the Resolve to clean up the wine that I spit up laughing.  Isla Fisher is hi-lar-i-ous and the soundtrack is so dance-able.
 
I'll update later with more ... what about you?  What are your favorite movies to have on in the background when you're doing something?
