My football team is losing, so I was clicking through the channels and came upon the movie, Pretty Woman. Are there any Pretty Woman fans out there like me? It doesn't matter where it is in the movie I always stop and watch it to the end. It is one of the most romantic movies I have ever seen ... I know, I know ... Julia
Roberts plays a hooker, but it is soooo good.

bjnicholson 09-11-2010 07:23 PM

I love Pretty Woman. And Notting Hill, too.

NancyG 09-11-2010 07:25 PM

That's funny! My hubbie was tired of football and switched the channel to Pretty Woman. Now I got sucked in. Love it too. What a nice love story♥

EdieClay 09-11-2010 07:25 PM

I agree ... loved that movie too ... it could be that Julia Roberts is just so engaging in these kind of movies.

quiltnmom 09-11-2010 07:34 PM

I like any thing with Julia Roberts in it.

tolepainter54 09-11-2010 07:35 PM

I also will stop surfing if I come to the channel with it on. I have seen it so many times, but I just love it. Yes it is a fun romantic movie.

b.zang 09-11-2010 07:35 PM

Great music, too.

lisainmo 09-11-2010 07:39 PM

I watched Pretty Woman today also...I just love Julia Roberts in that movie..and Richard Gere is always good to look at. Its a wonderful movie!

Dragonfly Nana 09-11-2010 07:41 PM

I love them together.....remember Runaway Bride...too funny

littlelizzy 09-11-2010 07:43 PM

her in a bridal gown on a horse,omgosh.

Dragonfly Nana 09-11-2010 07:46 PM

too may funny parts....but the most romantic was her going to his apartment

SharonAnne 09-11-2010 07:54 PM

Great movie, and may I also suggest - "I Love Trouble" with Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte. That's a good one, too. I LMBO when I watch it, which has been several times for both these movies.

Quiltforme 09-11-2010 08:05 PM

Me right here my favorite I just love Julia Roberts.

paintstoregirl 09-11-2010 08:12 PM

If I see it on TV I always watch too. It's one of my favorite movies.

Ditter43 09-11-2010 08:13 PM

Yes, I always loved that movie! :thumbup:

MzMcKee 09-11-2010 08:25 PM

It must have been a Julia Roberts day today. There was Pretty Woman, Run Away Bride and American Sweethearts..

SaraSewing 09-11-2010 08:28 PM

I watched it tonight too! While I was sewing, of course. It is on my top 5 movies list and wouldn't even guess how many times I've seen it.

C.Cal Quilt Girl 09-11-2010 11:54 PM

Not sure I've seen anything bad Julia Roberts has done.

This is one of those movies that a person can't resist!! I also love all the old Reba shows, have them all on DVD.

ptquilts 09-12-2010 04:07 AM

sorry, Julia is not my favorite actress.
Not a realistic movie either. If you want to see what real hookers look like, catch an episode of Cops.

My vote for romantic move - Frankie and Johnny with Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. Realistic and romantic.

PBS is running its pledge drive so no "Larkrise to Candleford" and "As Time Goes By". I did some channel surfing and came across "What a Girl Wants" - one of those teenage girl type of movies. But it had Colin Firth in it. I'd watch the test pattern if it had Colin Firth on it!!

ptquilts 09-12-2010 05:25 AM

I like "As time goes by" but our VT PBS just started running it AGAIN for about the 6th time.
The NH PBS has been running Keeping Up Appearances for the last TWENTY YEARS, swear to god.

mic-pa 09-12-2010 06:18 AM

yep! I have Pretty Woman on DVD and watch it often. Love that movie.

CarrieAnne 09-12-2010 06:21 AM

I love her movies!

Two of my favorite movies. Couldn't begin to count how many times I've seen both!

DebsShelties 09-12-2010 07:06 AM

Runaway Bride is one of my favorite movies by Julia Roberts.

Barbm 09-12-2010 07:17 AM

Love Julia Roberts, LOVE Richard Gere! So what if it's not realistic? It's the story of a girl who can make something of herself.

Isn't that what sappy movies are about- what you don't see in real life? Give me my rose colored glasses. :)

That’s the way I am about Dirty Dancing....love to watch them dance and the music is so great. I can watch Pretty Women all day over and over again but that means I would have to give up some of my time I spend with all you. That might be hard to do…. If only I could get myself cloned then I could do more. Or better yet get more accomplished

farmerswife 09-12-2010 12:47 PM

One of my all time favorite movies.. the ending is awesome.

Pam B 09-12-2010 01:47 PM

It is one of my favorite movies! I wish I had caught it today. DH was watching football and I came into my sewing room and did some organizing and a little sewing. Did not even turn the TV on. Sometimes I just like peace and quiet.

sasseyib 09-12-2010 02:15 PM

I love that movie also. I also liked A Officer and a Gentleman.

prairiequeen 09-12-2010 02:28 PM

Watched it with hubby last night.

littlehud 09-12-2010 03:21 PM

My DD love that movie.

Chasing Hawk 09-12-2010 04:10 PM

I like Julia Roberts, she is fantastic.

I liked her in Something to talk about. At the Ladies meeting, what a riot. She was excellent in Erin Brocivch and I loved her in Steel Magnolias.

976-BABE was one of the funniest lines in the movie. (Pretty Woman)

EdieClay 09-12-2010 04:14 PM

Thanks for all your comments. I wondered if I was the only one who loved Pretty Woman and I find I am just one of many.

blahel 09-12-2010 05:19 PM

i too love Julia Roberts..anyone seen her movie Eat, Pray, Love yet?
Its not out here yet but sounds like a good chick flick.
