'Sank you . The two leads really did work together & they're part of the reason why the film got four stars & swept all those major Oscar catergories. Luckily I saw IHON before Gone With The Wind, as I found Clark to be dreamy in that film too . I'll make him give a d@mn . But his performance was really good too. He's no Cary Grant though. He's the ultimate leading man & will always be.

Ooh which films do you have on your netflix? Maybe I haven't seen 'em & I'm looking for "new" classics to watch, as TCM's selection hasn't been great lately. But, I requested Country Girl from my local library & I'm looking forward to watch it, even though it's a drama.

And yeah, I ended up watching Charade haha. I needed something with Paris & Cary.

So, guess what we're watching next week? LOL. We're watching It Happened One Night. I've seen this movie twice already and love it as well. I can't wait to see it again. I might even move up to the front of the class to get a better view. Oh and I also agree 100% with PIP's review.

An American in Paris, Shall We Dance, Neptune's Daughter, Gigi, Funny Face, Roman Holiday, The Thin Man, After the Thin Man, The Gay Divorcee, High Society, Dangerous When Wet, The Country Girl, The Lady Eve, Sullivan's Travels, Top Hat, The Bride Came C.O.D., Rita, Gilda, The Lady from Shanghai, Your Were Never Lovelier, Follow the Fleet, So Proudly We Hail!, On the Town, The More the Merrier, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Gone With the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, Captain January, Little Miss Broadway, Come September, That Funny Feeling, If a Man Answers, Summer Stock, Charade.

I'll probably be adding more to the list soon too . 2 of the above are on the "watch instantly" thing, but I'm hoping more will be soon so that I can avoid the mailing hassle. I'm a huge fan of Cary Grant, Sandra Dee, Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Doris Day, etc. etc. etc..... I can't wait until we can get cable again so I can watch movies on AMC and TCM again .

I agree... Cary Grant is dreamy! Here are the classics on my Netflix list... there are a lot .

I bolded all the films I watched & my top three recommendations are:

1. Breakfast at Tiffany's
2. Roman Holiday
3. The Thin Man

Breakfast at Tiffany's is the ultimate classic girly film, with Audrey Hepburn at her best. Roman Holiday is another Audrey film & this one is a bittersweet dramedy. The shots of Rome are spectacular. And with The Thin Man, it's frigging hilarious . The banter between the two leads is great.

An American In Paris is good too. It's a musical with the ever so dreamy Gene Kelly . And Charade is fabulous too. It's the one I watched last night & the great thing about it is that it has Cary Grant. The shower scene is a riot .

I love Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday. Have you ever seen Sabrina? It also has Audrey Hepburn in it.

Yep. It's one of my favourites too. My only complain is that I felt Humphrey Bogart was miscast. I always admired him as an actor because of his abilites but I just thought that the role wasn't right for him. Seeing him as the male lead in a romantic comedy didn't seem right. He's better suited for those tough guy roles like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon etc. I personally think that Cary Grant would've done much better in the role of Linus, as I could actually believe him loving Sabrina. With Bogart, it seemed forced & I didn't feel any chemistry. Apparently he was ticked off because Audrey got the role instead of his wife, Lauren Bacall & IMO, Audrey was better suited for the role of Sabrina. Those are her kind of characters.

I watched It Happened One Night & I can't believe how long it's been. I love that film oh so much. And Mr.Gable, you can dunk me anytime you want . Well, maybe back than cause yeah. Anyway, I still tear up when Ellie confesses to Peter that she loves him. Part of me wishes he confessed his feelings but I was much more content with her running away at her own wedding & watching the walls of Jericho come down. The comedy aspect of the film was pretty good too. I always thought Clark was more of a comedian than a serious actor. I can totally understand how this film won all 5 leading Oscars. In fact, it was the first film to sweep all the major catergories. It's one of those marvelous films that you always have time for & at the end, you always manage to have smile on your face even though you know what happens everytime. And phew, the chemistry was fab. I saw the sparks from the get go. Oh, what a lovely, lovely film.

Tomorrow evening will probably be Libeled Lady or Charade, as I'll be busy the next few nights.

We watched "All Quiet On The Western Front" last night in my class. I remember watching it twice in High School, but couldn't remember how I felt about it or if I felt anything. But I think being sick has kinda fogged up my judgment, because all I wanted to do was get out of there. It's very hard to watch a movie when you feel that way.

For my class, this was supposed to be our introduction into two things: The Talkies (or just plain sound in film) and The Studio System. So, I tried to pay really close attention to the sound in this film and imagine what it would have been like to have watched it for the first time in 1930. It was really rich.

But alas I'm still mainly a visual person, so what really struck me was the last scene. I couldn't remember how it ended in the film, but I certainly remember how it ended in the book. I was curious throughout the whole movie, to see how it was dealt with. I really do like how they handled it. Oh, and this very very final image, just haunts me.



So, guess what we're watching next week? LOL. We're watching It Happened One Night. I've seen this movie twice already and love it as well. I can't wait to see it again. I might even move up to the front of the class to get a better view. Oh and I also agree 100% with PIP's review.

Went to the library today (the one across town) and took out quite a few DVD's College (1927), It (1927), Ninotchka (1939) and Dark Victory (1939). The first 2 are silents- one Buster Keaton and the other Clara Bow

I watched Finding Neverland tonight- hadn't seen it in awhile. I forgot just how excellent that movie is. I'm a mess the last 15 minutes or so though One of the movies that makes me cry quite a bit

Oh, and Bubble, I love your avatar !

At first I thought you were talking about Return to Neverland (the new Disney sequel to Peter Pan), and I thought, "whoa, Bubble must be PMSing pretty bad."

I just got The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe on DVD. I haven't seen it. Is it good?

I'm watching Becoming Jane . . .

I'm watching Becoming Jane . . .

I loved it. I saw it twice at the theaters when it came out and I own the special edition DVD That's one of my favorite books (well series) I'm really excited about the next one coming out soon. It looks great!

It is amazing. Unexpectedly riveting. Not just for kids, either. Peter is hot and bada**!

Wait . . . . Mr. Darcy turned out to be Mr. Wickham?

How is it? (Oh wait...)
What?!

Have you seen it Pax?

Nope. I've been holding off on watching it because I know it's going to be a Hollywood version of her real-life romance. But I hear good things, so I'm tempted to watch it. What did you think of it?

It's not too Hollywood. I liked it, especially the second half. That had a few surprises. Get the tissues ready for the end though.

I really liked it as well, but I have to look at it as fictional story. Judging by the biographies I've watched and read, the historical accuracy seems rather low. For what it was, though,I thought it was very well done.

I agree. I didn't put any stock in the accuracy, I was more interested in the idea of how these elements of her novels could have occurred to her in the normal course of her life and experience. I know those parts of the story were (I'm sure), entirely fictional, but it still made it possible to see how it could have happened. I liked that.

half nelson was good. I wish it went alittle longer and dealt more with the addiction and how it plays against all the students. Still really a great movie
