Many of us don’t live in the same cities or even the same states as the ones we love. Whether by chose or by career necessity, we have to move away from others and thus family and friend relationships can be strained. But we can still keep in touch with those we love via other technology means. Home library software, for example, can be a great tool for those families who enjoy movies, even if they can not watch these movies together. Here are some ideas to use home library software to help your current family situation.
Watching the Classics Together
It seems that every year some movie publication will produce a list of the best movies of all time. With home library software, you can recreate this list and then stage a sort of contest between you and other family members in order to see who can watch all of the classics first. This contest might take place over a long period of time, helping to not only expand the movie expertise of all of the participants, but it can also help scratch one more thing off life’s To Do list. In addition, families can then have movies which can be discussed amongst each other – as well as having some gentle ribbing amongst each other.
Debating Favorite Actors and Actresses
It might also be a good idea to fill up one’s home library software with movies which include certain actors and actresses. This way, you and the rest of your extended family can enjoy these movies and then discuss the performances in each of the movies. By watching an actor grow in their skills, a person can begin to see just how much the actor has progressed in their skills. Some families might also want to think of watching only movies from certain directors or writers to see similarities and differences between the movies they have made.
Creating Your Own Best Movies of all Time List
Of course, while there are experts who will tell you which movies are the best, you and your family can also use the home library software to begin to create your own list of the ‘best’ movies. Take some time to send your lists back and forth to each other, helping you to easily create more opportunities for future movie viewing and discussion. Perhaps you can both come up with a list of the 50 best movies, then discuss these lists over email and over the phone. This way, you always have something to talk about and you can stay connected no matter what might be happening in your own life.
For families who love movies, a home library software program might be the perfect fit to help everyone stay connected. By creating an instant topic of conversation, people can not only be active in their lives, but also encourage discussion and debate, no matter how many miles might stand between them and the ones they love. Entertainment brings people together – and a home library software program will help.
