Much as I'm loathe to admit it, I love going to the movies. When it's pouring and freezing outside, one of my favorite things to do is drive on up to Lynnwood, pick a film to watch, and settle into some mindless entertainment for a couple of hours (unless you're seeing Syriana or Munich, which you should-- those ones are thinkers). I like the Lynnwood theater best because there is always ample parking, it's enormous and thus has tons of films to choose from, and their food selection (when I'm feeling like dropping $15 on a small snack) is pretty good, for a theater (they have Starbucks). Plus, there's an architecturally lovely mall right next door if you're jonesing for a Cinnabon or a new pair of shoes afterwards.
