Sara and I would probably choose "The Wizard of Oz" for a pick me up, "Titanic" (1997) for the going to be here for awhile category, "Shadow of a Doubt" for a rainy day movie, for a dose of humor, we'd choose "Some Like it Hot" and for a final pick...that's so hard, maybe either "Clueless" (1995) or a romantic old movie like "A Place in the Sun" or "It's a Wonderful Life."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123120862720008112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-21128238447207990642016-05-17T16:58:34.640-04:002016-05-17T16:58:34.640-04:00Connie, I enjoyed reading the criteria you used to...Connie, I enjoyed reading the criteria you used to make your selections! It was fun to see that both you and Diana selected "The Parent Trap" because it always delights me when I watch it (after I initially got over the fact that the parents separated their twin daughters and didn't even tell them about each other). Diana, "I Know Where I'm Going" when I get a hankering to see Wendy Hiller! This is such a precious film and reminds us that sometimes divine intervention really is for the best. Also, for several years our film of choice for New Year's Eve was "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." I adore Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, and little Natalie Wood. It is simply timeless! <br />toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-46491291160085725042016-05-16T20:27:41.772-04:002016-05-16T20:27:41.772-04:00What fun to see what each of you selected!

Ditto for THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR, which may be my favorite movie romance. Finally, I adore the selection of I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING with the incomparable Dame Wendy Hiller. Powell & Pressberger made some tremendous films. My Cafe collaborator, Toto, bumped A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH off her list only at the last minute.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-69691845750344774792016-05-16T20:09:49.748-04:002016-05-16T20:09:49.748-04:00Great lists both, but the movie I should've in...Great lists both, but the movie I should've included on my own list is "I Know Where I'm Going!", an all-time favorite and incredibly underrated Powell & Pressburger gem.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-84079573670349293632016-05-16T19:10:19.385-04:002016-05-16T19:10:19.385-04:00Hmmm...

I think there is some genetic thing going on there with The Parent Trap (one of my faves) - and I'm so glad you chose GWTW - it's not only endlessly fascinating - it's practically endless!
