The Sound of Music
It's a classic

You guys have reminded of so many great movies!
My all time favorite has to be "The Remains of the Day" with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Among those mentioned, I adore "The Sound of Music" (Traci, YES to a young Chrisotpher Plummer), "Silence of the Lambs" (still love the way Jodie Foster would say "Dr. Lecter!"); "All About Eve" (amazing performances all around); "Rear Window" (made me a life-long Grace Kelly fan); "Rope" (another Alfred Hitchcock film). I also recently saw "All Quiet on the Western Front," which I thought was an amazing portrait of war.

Currently, I am watching the 1945 French movie, "Children of Paradise." Love this thread!

Oh Mimi, I just love "The Remains of the Day". Danny scowls and growls and works on his rc airplanes when it comes on. Oh and "Howard's End" and "A Room with a View" are terrific too. "Gaslight" is on tonight on TCM--isn't that a doozy?! Danny always accuses me of gaslighting him when I accuse him of being forgetful ;-).

If you love "The Remains of the Day", you would also love the recent PBS series, "Downton Abbey". It was a sort of Upstairs/Downstirs soap-opera saga--just delicious! I can't wait until Season 2.

Mimi and Cynthia,
Those are
Mimi and Cynthia,
Those are all such good movies. And Gaslight, I totally forgot to mention. I love that movie. I used that expression with a friend about being gaslighted and she had no idea what I meant so I told her to rent that movie. She called and loved it and then used that expression whenever she would forget anything. thanks for mentioning them. I am going to buy Gaslight the next time I am out.

The Color Purple
Even though parts of it are difficult to watch, I love the ending and the theme of redemption. I cry like a baby every time.

I also love Gone With The Wind. I loved the book and Clark Gable was my first movie star crush.

Love the Color Purple too
Love the Color Purple too Cindy, and, I also cry when I watch it.
