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

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....

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head........

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!!

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).

MouseWife · 03-28-2005, 06:28 PM

So the other movies don't include his 'Hang 'Em High' character? I hated the way that movie ended!! Grrr! I was really into it and then 'Wha' happened Lucy?' Maybe I should look for his filmography and see in what order they went and see them that way?

Thanks for the heads up on 'The Beguiled'. I will look for that.

Claire~ How funny, in the chatty part of the movie {the extras?} they talked about the song and how some people thought it didn't fit the movie {in production} but that it was perfect. Ah, I am encouraged to hear the Hubster is

with some trivia.

Alias Smith & Jones just had {or is currently having} a run on the Encore Western chanel. Did or is, I taped a bunch of shows for my sister. Oh. Just checked my t.v., 'Is'. This current show has Pete Duel on in. *sigh*

It is nice to snuggle and watch movies with the Hubster.

Eliza Hodgkins1812~ wow. Is that Desi? *swooning* If it isn't, he sure looks like him...at what age???

OMG, totally! It so doesn't fit and that what makes it perfect....riding around on a dang bike....all carefree. Funny stuff.

I feel an Joseph Losey and/or Harold Pinter festival coming on. The Servent will be first because of the Matthew Bourne thing we're seeing, but there are so many other than I remember LOVING 20 years ago but don't remember much about them other than darkness. Everything looks different at 42 than it did at 22. How profound!
