Favorite Movies & Favorite Series
#21
Fiddler on the Roof is my favorite all time movie.
I watch mostly old movies on Turner Classic because they have no commercial interruptions... heavenly. Also love the old black and white Gunsmoke episodes on the Western channel. Waiting not so patiently for the next season of Better Call Saul....

Love Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Christmas vacation, Rudolf, and It's a Wonderful Life are my favorite Christmas movies. Trading Places, Funny Farm, and The Great Outdoors are all awesome.
Mac, I am very eclectic when it comes to music. I don't care for rap. Like almost everything else. Love Motown.

Gosh, I feel almost outta place... I can't sit and watch mindless comedy...Adam Sandler (all others of his "type") makes my skin crawl. A thoughtful comedy is different when you have to pay attention to catch the wit and humor.
I have to have a mystery or who done it ... someone usually dies and figure out the who, what, when and where. Sports bore me to tears ... overpaid ninnies chasing balls, hitting balls, dunking balls or dodging walls (racing) .
Enjoy most music ... most .... no shrieking electric guitars or a drummer stuck on the high hats. Don't ask me the words though because I make them up as I go ... much to the dismay of my family.

I have Dr Thorne added to my watch list, but haven't watched it yet. I'm watching the Lark Rise to Candle Ford series,I'm on season 2 now and almost finished with it. I also watched Home Fires, but they haven't added to the series and left a cliff hanger ending, hate it when they do that.What did I do before Amazon Prime? Favorite movies "Dances With Wolves,Steel Magnolias, Dirty Dancing and the list goes on and on.

At this moment, Brain Dead is my favorite series on TV. We laugh out heads off at the very clever opening where a singer give you the highlights of previous episodes.

In an earlier post I mentioned that West Side Story had Yule Brynner in it. That was actually West World I was thinking of. Steven Spielberg is supposed to be re-making West Side Story. I like Natalie Wood movies. This House is Condemned with Robert Redford and Splendor in the Grass with Warren Beatty are two of her movies that I liked a lot. Westworld has been re-made into a series. It is set to be released in October on HBO. Anthony Hopkins is in it.
Sleepy Hollow, I've always been a fan of the Twilight zone. I love animation too! I have all of the Toy Story movies.
Some of the greatest movies ever made were The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Avatar. James Cameron is making four more Avatar sequels. They are being released at Christmas 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023.
Betty, I really liked Dances WithWolves too. Kevin Costner was smoking hot!

My all time favorite movie is Driving Miss Daisy. I loved Jessica Tandy. Also liked Out of Africa with Meryl Streep.
My favorite book is the Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear. The whole series is fabulous. I also love anything by Sandra Dallas and Jane Kirkpatrick.
As to television I loved Downton Abbey. Now watching Father Brown and Midwives. British television seems to be more interesting to me, even though I sometimes have trouble understanding the dialogue. I used to enjoy NCIS, but when Ziva left I lost interest. Many of the others are too lightweight or too dark for me.
