Agreed, I did this via Netflix a few weekends back along with Bend it Like Beckham (I'm way behind in movie watching either in theatres or on DVD), enjoyed them both. Also loved the cooking lesson/recipe for Aloo Gobbi on the extras, something no cook should leave out of their repitoire (amaze your friends!). Sadly, I fall into the category of rolling chapatis that look more like a map of the US than a perfect circle.

Looking forward to September, October and November for at least one theatre visit each month. September is Return of Zorro, October is Wallace and Gromit and November, Harry Potter & the GoF.

Netflix is hopeless, I have 400 movies in my queue and so little time.

It's Maureen O'Hara day on TCM.. spanish main was AWESOME!!

This is B's new favorite movie. She listens to the soundtrack and starts dancing. :) :snap:

OOOOO, I love Errol Flynn. TCM had whole month dedicated to his movies a short time ago. I'm a big fan of Captn Blood, Robin Hood and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Or anything that he costared with Olivia DeHaviland too!

I'm currently looking for the Sherlock Holmes DVD series starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.

That Flynn box set is worth it. Dodge City is good too. His documentary in the set is excellent.

Have some old casual pics of Nigel Bruce, he was quite a party animal.

This week I'm into artie shaw...

I have Kung Fu Hustle and disc 2 of Dead Like Me. My request for Season 2 of Curb Your Enthusiasm has also arrived from the library. So much to watch!!

Finally saw "The Brothers Grimm." For the most part, it was the visual treat I was anticipating. However, there were a few parts where the CGI was so jarring as to jerk one out of the story. But then again, that's fairly typical these days.

Last night a tremendously wonderful documentary on the always swanky (even when she is suffering) Greta Garbo. Directed by my hero, Kevin Brownlow, it was well worth watching.

Their next opus for Turner Classic movies will be called I'm King Kong about the making of the 1933 film and of Merian C. Cooper who produced it with Willis O'Brien doing the superb (for 1933) minatures. Besides, Fay Wray had the best scream. It will be timely to the Peter Jackson remake, which should be awesome too!

I just got a German DVD box set of Alfred Hitchcock - The Early Years, and have been making my way through these fantastic early (pre-US) films. I admit that I've only seen these before in horrible public-domain quality prints, and these are a revelation - I think I need to revisit the rest of the Hitchcock collection...
