Last night we watched Look Who's Coming to Dinner. It's one of my favorites, but Kelly thought it was the first time he'd seen it from beginning to end in one shot.

We just watched Charlie the Lonesome Cougar for the first time in probably 30 years. It was always one of my favorites on the Wonderful World of Disney and it didn't disappoint. Charlie as a kitten is so cute (and looks like Scoundrel and sounds like Lyra).

I wish the drawings from the into/credits were available. I'd use them somewhere as an avatar/sig/profile pic. Such fun nostolga for us tonight!

Next up is The Cat from Outer Space which I don't remember at all.

Now I am dying to see all of the True Life Adventures and Chris is remembering something about a little Mexican boy who travels through the desert and drinks sour milk. I just love the things we remember! ;)

We watched two movies this week. The first was Napoleon Dynamite. Not to re-open the debate but we all absolutely hated it and two of the 3 of us were unable to finish it. I don't think any of us laughed once.

We also watched an older film from '71 called "Harold and Maude" and that was wonderful. Ruth Gorden was priceless. Great movie!

I recently picked up this DVD - would see it all the time in the revival theaters, definately a wonderful pic.

The Cat from Outer Space was fun! Interesting to see people from M*A*S*H* in a film like that. But, the worst part was that cat - it was so darned expressive! Of course it was an Abyssinian - which I just adore. One of the two pure-bread cats I would own. He looked like this:


Anyways, fun nigight of old Disney enjoyment.


Oh, and MBC, I am with Chris on Harold and Maude. Great film that I've seen many times.

Last week we watched Annie Hall (my husband thought it was a knock-off of When Harry Met Sally :evil: bwahahaha) and the third season of Strangers With Candy. Last night I watched Ever After which I always looooove.

Other than that, we haven't watched a lot of movies lately! Been reading and watching basketball......

Vanity Fair. And it SUCKED. Not swanky at all. Way to ruin a perfectly devious, wonderful "heroine", writers. Way to go! I also think that Witherspoon could have pulled of Becky Shark as Makepeace (love that middle name) wrote her. Ah, well.

Okay, forewarned, I am no 'Barbara Walters'. That said...

We had an old movie weekend, too. Last weekend. We picked up 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. Mostly for the 'fellas' but dang, Redford and Newman are handsome men. It was interesting to listen to them talk about the movie, later, much later. I can't believe the movie came out so long ago.

Anywho, I didn't realize, according to the Hubster, this was what 'Alias Smith & Jones' was modeld after. Funny because in one part one asks the other 'You wanna be Smith or Jones?'

We also have had a Clint Eastwood 'thang going on. The last one being 'Hang 'Em High'. Gawd, I hope that is the one. I know there are sooo many in that string of movies. If ANYONE can help me with this...which was the first one? I know there is also 'High Plains Drifter' and I think they go in some sort of order like 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly'.

This weekend we saw 'Bridget Jones' part 2. It was good but what I really have to say I loved was when she ate the omelette. And that's all I am going to say about that.

Have 'Finding Neverland' in line for tonight. Saw part of it over the weekend but I fell asleep. I enjoyed what I saw, though. Love the 'Darling' connection...if I am right with that....

The Eastwood/Leone "Man With No Name" trilogy was Fistful of Dollars (1964)/For a Few Dollars More (1965)/The Good The Bad and The Ugly (1966).

From '68 (Hang 'Em High) on, he played various characters in a bunch of different westerns, as well as tons of contemporary flicks. For a cool underrated Eastwood film, I'd recommend 'The Beguiled' from 1971. Very creepy Civil War-era movie, directed by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry, Escape From Alcatraz).

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head........:snap:

We (my husband and I) LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie like crazy!!! It's one of our mutual favorites and I agree with your husband on the Alias Smith and Jones reference.....I remember my dad telling me that when I was little. Alias S&J was one of our favorite shows--I watched it with my dad!!
