Saturday - Movie Night!

A friend on FACEBOOK threw out a request for

followers to name their favorite movies this morning.

I've been mulling it over a good part of the day.

I'd have to say my all time favorite movie is

OUT OF AFRICA.

The sweeping landscapes of Africa,

the music, the costumes,

all make this movie

an epic.

Can't you just hear Meryl Streep's opening line

"...I had a farm in Africa..."

This is an oldie I've heard about all my life,

but only saw it for the first time about

six months ago.

What a movie!

Some interesting moral questions and

"doing the right thing."

Add a young Gregory Peck...

to die for...

Another BIG movie.

I literally fell in love with

F. Murray Abraham

in this movie.

He also won an Oscar for it.

Ahhh, Woody Allen, before all the

yuckiness.

Love him and Diane Keaton together.

I also love the clothes in this movie.

Messy relationships, but the

characters are so REAL

and it's SO New York.

The next few are classic chick flicks,

but SO good....

I think this is the first time I saw

Julia Roberts. Love her.

Add Richard Gere and how can you loose?

Maybe the only thing better than

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is

Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Love him.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this one.

Meryl Streep can do anything!

The clothes alone make it fun to watch.

Met another of my "dream men,"

Simon Baker, in this movie.

God, he's beautiful.

THE HOLIDAY is a fun little movie where

Jack Black shows he can really act!

The "feel good" ending is great.


The litmus test for a favorite movie for me is

if I catch it when I'm channel flipping,

and I stay and watch it again...it's a keeper.

I would watch this movie, anytime, anywhere.

(This does not hold true of the second one.)





I've enjoyed all the Jane Austin movies,

but SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

is my favorite.

"The Colonel"...need I say more?



LITTLE WOMEN with Wynona Ryder

is a great one to watch at holiday time.

Again, that ending alone makes it re-watchable.

Heath Ledger will break your heart in this one.



And finally, a newer one, BURLESQUE.

I didn't want this one to end.

Christina Aguilera's voice will take your breath away.

Are you up for a movie tonight?

What's your pick?
