I don't have any particular movie!!! Oh -- LOL Monsters Inc --- LOVE that movie!.... My daughter watched Grease until I knew every line of the movie, son watch "The Christmas Story" at least 100 times (one year 5 people gave him the video!!!) and DH LOVES Quigley Down Under (I like it, too). I can walk in the room, see the TV and know IMMEDIATELY what's happening if Quigley is on.....

Oh, I have several. But two of my favorites were not "BIG" movies. Same Time Next Year" with Alan ALda and Ellen Burstyn and Bicentenial Man with Robin Williams. If you have not seen the later rent or netflix it. I guarantee you will need a hankie by the end

Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Angela Lansbury is marvelous in this.
And speaking of movies, have you seen the one about a 1928 movie of Charlie Chaplain, where on a sidewalk right outside a movie premiere showed what looked like a woman or a man in drag, talking on a cell phone? I've watched it several times, and it left me confused. There are masses of stuff about it running all around the internet!!!

Are you a Coast 2 Coast listener? I am! That film clip was kinda spooky.[/quote]
-------------------------------------
I'm not familiar with Coast 2 Coast, sounds like it might be a talk show. This was and at this time still is on AOL sites. I've watched it many times and the old lady's actions are exactly like most of the people on our streets now. There's a good explanation somewhere, but I suspect it would take the joy out of knowing!!
I gave up Santa Claus reluctantly, love the Easter Bunny because I love animals, don't believe in witches, even though one of my aunts was one and did things I can't explain even now..but cell phones in 1928? Sure wish Isaac Asimov were alive now, he could write a real good book about it and make it very real.

My favorite of all time is "A Christmas Story" I have the DVD so I can watch it whenever I want. I did not grow up in the era the movie is set in, but so many things in it still remind me of my childhood. Like the black rubber boots with the metal buckles, my brothers wore those. Being layered with so many clothes, you can't put your arms down. And my all time favorite, when my brothers kept asking for a beebee gun - "You'll shoot your eye out!" Priceless!

Mine: "Sound of Music"--- probably have watched it more than 20X...plus, I have the dvd so I can watch it anytime I feel like it.
