Might have to pluck it out and watch it again. And Princess Bride - that is a major classic - I don't know anyone who does not like it. For me I love classic b-grade horror or big animal (anaconda) movies... hehetfwalshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691705525751162161.post-92188517169805313232011-08-24T21:59:50.603-04:002011-08-24T21:59:50.603-04:00Julia -- I was just thinking today that I have fav...Julia -- I was just thinking today that I have favorite movies, but then I also have movies that I like to re-watch, and they aren't always the same. I hadn't thought about it before, but yes, Casablanca would be on both lists.<br /><br />Annabel -- Invictus was very good, if a bit rote. But I really enjoyed it. I also thought "Women on the Verge..." was great and wish I had time to watch more Almodovar movies. Woody Allen I'm kind of so-so on, although I enjoyed Mighty Aphrodite. <br /><br />Just love getting lost in a story. :)Eve McFaddenhttp://evemcfadden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691705525751162161.post-71992529434149579602011-08-24T20:06:50.255-04:002011-08-24T20:06:50.255-04:00Hi Eve, LOVE my movies but living in the outback m...Hi Eve, LOVE my movies but living in the outback means I now read more. However I buy dvd's off ebay and really enjoyed 'Invictus' and 'Skin', both set in South Africa, where I was born and gave me great insight into post-apartheid SA. <br />LOVE most Pedro Almadovar films but fave is "Women on the verge of a Nervous breakdown :http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095675/.<br />Old Woody Allen ie Manhattan but I recently saw a BEAUTIFUL film called The Diving Bell and the Butterfly :http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401383/annabelgoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570949170016764704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691705525751162161.post-9411041797415148952011-08-24T18:15:55.953-04:002011-08-24T18:15:55.953-04:00Great post!

We're in the middle of a desert.<br />Rick: I was misinformed.<br /><br />Louis: I'm shocked -- shocked! --<br />Waiter: Your winnings, sir.<br />Louis: Oh, thank you. I'm shocked to find gambling in this establishment!<br /><br /><i>Jaws</i> is just a great, taut movie, everything in place. But that is the most memorable line, I think.<br /><br />Monty Python is a perennial favorite, but there were just too many to choose from!<br /><br />Glad everyone enjoyed the post; I sure had fun writing it.Eve McFaddenhttp://evemcfadden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691705525751162161.post-28123260369232548452011-08-24T10:39:15.082-04:002011-08-24T10:39:15.082-04:00I am a movie quote junkie! If I'm quoting Casa...I am a movie quote junkie! If I'm quoting Casablanca, I prefer 'The Germans wore grey, you wore blue.' The Princess Bride? I use 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia.' an awful lot. Airplane, Caddyshack, Blues Brothers (Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips!), Better Off Dead, and anything Monty Python or Mel Brooks are all standards in my book.<br /><br />For the classics I rely on GWTW, Casablanca, The Quiet Man, The Philadelphia Story (Put me in your pocket, Mike.), The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and the like.<br /><br />I've also been known to mine some movie musicals. Gigi has the fabulous Hermoine Gingold and hysterical bits including: 'Liane D'Exelmans committed suicide! Again!' 'Say, how many times has she done it now?' 'How was the suicide?' 'Oh, the usual way. Insufficient poison.' <br /><br />Fabulous post!

I don't think I've ever watched Casablanca, except for clips and bits and pieces I've seen.<br />I love The Inn of the Sixth happiness with Ingrid Bergman though, a movie a bit later in her career.<br />The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is my all time fave. "There'll be no locks between us Mary Kate. Except those in your mercenary heart." <br />Field of Dreams, League of Their Own. I'm a feel good movie kind of girl.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320746523009904998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691705525751162161.post-75208236280276651152011-08-24T08:41:42.631-04:002011-08-24T08:41:42.631-04:00Haha...I LOVE Airplane!!
