    I'm out and proud
    The Sound of Music is my #1, all-time, if-I-were-stranded-on-a-desert-island movie, and I'm not afraid to come out and say it! :-)

    I mean...Julie Andrews' singing, gorgeous Austrian scenery, puppets, dancing, and a yummy young Christopher Plummer -- what's not to love? And the DVD has 4 HOURS of documentaries, interviews, and extras -- I can spend a whole day wallowing in it!

    If you are looking for a
    If you are looking for a funny, here are my suggestions: Elf, When Harry Met Sally, MoonStruck, and the Sound of Music. I see Traci has already made that suggestion.

    If you are looking for a good read, I suggest "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's uplifting, witty, and inspirational!

    Good luck with your recovery, Meena!

    I love this idea!
    I just joined netflix and adding all the movies to my queue(sp?) takes me back. I love The Juror with Demi Moore and Consenting Adults with Kevin Spacey. I also love love love Pride and Prejudice. I'm with Traci...I too love The Sound of Music. I have visited that place where it was filmed in Salzburg, Austria. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Oh, Jane Russell and her "girls"! I'll be like that again someday! :) The Birds and Psycho by Hitchcock. So good!

    Well.............
    This is waaaaaaay before your time, but my all-time favorite movie is "Drums Along the Mohawk". Actually, it's before my time too...Henry Fonda starred and was a very young man in it....but I love the movie anyway!

    Oh Yes,
    I with you on Gone With The Wind!! Love it. I dragged Husb with me to tour Margaret Mitchell's plantation in Ga.She wrote GWTW there. Wanted to move in. It was smaller then I expected but still quite lovely.. Many years ago a dear elderly friend of mine who was a nurse had Clark Gable as a patient. She said he was even more sexier in person. Lucky lady..She had the pictures to prove it.. The stories she told were so interesting.

    Favorite Movies
    My all time can watch it over and over again is Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil. Filmed in my favorite place Savannah Ga.It has everything a good ghost story, romance, and a mystery. I also love Steel Magnolias. My best friend named her daughter Shelby( I of course suggested it) after one of the charactors in the movie. Also for a good laugh Fried Green Tomatoes, and Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. Oh yes, if your having a day where you just want to sing out loud Mama Mia is your pick that day. Love those Abba songs..You are now seeing were my real roots lie now.. Southern. But not living there now. Hope that gets you off too a good start also love the other ladies movie picks..

    To Kill a Mockingbird, It's
    To Kill a Mockingbird, It's a Wonderful Life, Princess Bride, all of the others that were mentioned, any musical, The Shining (the original), and so many, many more. I am a closet horror movie fan. That's because I have to watch them when no one else in the family is around. I love a good slice and dice. Creepy, Huh? You are probably picturing me watching first, Sound with Music and then following it up with Friday the 13th or Saw. Oh gosh, that is creepy. But I love movies.

    Gone with the Wind
    Gone with the Wind is my all time favorite (love the book too)! but when I need to laugh, nothing is better than Connie and Carla or What's up Doc!! Funny Girl is another one I can watch over and over and over again!

    The Big Lebowski
    Just cracks me up!! L.A. Story, but it works best if you've ever lived in L.A. And Love Actually is great at holiday time -- the part about the octopus costume.

    I'll think of more.
