movies

Ah movies, some great pastimes with some great memories. There are a few movies that I really enjoy from comedy, classics, romance (to a point), horror, thriller (even though these are the same to me), mystery, and action. Some to name off cause there are so many but I will share the ones that I enjoy watching more. I love Oliver the 1968 film. My mom has it or had it Im not sure which right now. I tried to watch the newer version of it but there was no...enjoyment in it. I enjoy the singing, the dancing, and everything else about the 1968 version. I also enjoy watching dirty dancing, The Crow (the first one with Brandon Lee), Robin Hood:King of thieves, Robin Hood:Men in Tights, Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleat Street, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, and more. I enjoy variety in movies and in life.

I just wish that I was able to find the movie Oliver online to watch it becuase it is so great, same with Robin Hood: King of Thieves. Everything else I can find and watch but I guess there are a few that are just harder to find and watch. I wasnt even able to find the movie Oliver in stores I dont know if I can only order the movie on Amazon.com or what. Well I hope you all enjoy cause I sure do. Usually I just sit and watch a movie when I do my cross stitches which is probably one of the reasons why it takes me so long to do them. :P

I love those movies! I haven't watched Phantom of the Opera for a while and need a phantom fix. I can't remember if we still have Oliver, I'll have to look.

Hi Elizabeth,

Oh, I love Oliver too! I was around 10 or so when it came out and developed a major crush on Jack Wild, who played the Artful Dodger. I have this one on DVD and watched it again not too long ago. Ron Moody made a wonderful Fagan, and Oliver Reed was a suitably scary Bill Sykes. I was much saddened a few years ago when I heard that Jack Wild had died from cancer.

Actually I'm very much a musical nut and have lots of favourites. I got Phantom recently but have yet to watch it. My own favourites are The King and I, The Music Man, and Fiddler on the Roof.

We (DH and I) have the Calvin and Hobbs comic books too and enjoy them. My own favourite is Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse. I have all her books, and am rereading them constantly.

Your kitty is adorable. They're a lot of fun, aren't they? My Phoebe is my baby and loves nothing more then to be snuggled in my arms. Rupert is also a sucky boy, but he's also a rogue and a devil. We love them both.

Cheers!

I forgot all about The King and I. I enjoy that movie as well. Im hoping to get all of the Calvin and Hobbes books becuase I really enjoy reading them and right now I only have one. Im just happy that the last few nights my cat has been letting me sleep. Usually once I turn off the lights she wants to play.

I had to smile Elizabeth as the original Phantom of the Opera (black and white and before anyone had heard of Andrew Lloyd-Webber) was one of my favourite films. For this reason I went to see the ALW show in London and I loved it, but I have never seen the new film.

Dirty Dancing and RH King of Thieves were two of my daughters favourite films and when she lived at home I saw them so many times I think I knew them word for word.
