Wives and Daughters: This is technically a mini serise but I'm going to count it anyways. Wives and Daughters is based off a book by the same name by Elizabeth Gaskill. I think they were pretty true to the book, edits here and there but I love both the movie and the book. One really nice thing about the movie is that there's an ending, Elizabeth Gaskill sadly died before she wrote the ending of the book. I really think that they did a great job with this movie, in picking out the characters and telling the story and everything like that, this is a movie that I enjoy watching time after time.

Shop Around The Corner: I'd heard about this movie and I saw it at the library and so I thought I'd try it, I wasn't expecting much but I was quite pleasantly surprised. This movie includes a fun cast of characters and I think that's probably why I like it so much, I find movies can be much more entertaining if there's a great cast of supporting characters in addition to the main characters. The setting for this plot is a leather goods shop in Budapest during some kind of economic depression. According to the blurb on the back of the case You've Got Mail was a re-make of this movie. It's a sweet if perhaps sappy plot but Jimmy Stewart is always great.

Annie: This was a movie I loved when I was little and I thought I'd see if it was still as good as it was then; it was still pretty good but not as good as when I was little but so many things showed up this time that were over my head when I was little. Carol Burnett is really good in this movie, Bernadette Peters is a pretty typical casting, no real singing though. It's a look back at life in the 30s.

Sabrina: This isn't a repeat, it's the remake of the one with Audrey Hepburn, this one was made in the 90s. This version of Sabrina, for me at least, doesn't have the charm of the original, it feels a tad adulterated, however it is still a good movie and it's very funny with lots of memorable lines.

Wait Until Dark: Do not watch this movie home alone in the dark, you will regret it. This movie I suppose might be called more of a thriller but I find it terrifying. I think far more frightening that the disturbing things that people can think up, are the things that are actually really quite possible. Audrey Hepburn's character is recently blinded and adjusting to life when she unwittingly becomes involved with drug dealers and murderers.

Anastasia: This is not the more recent cartoon (though I love that). I've been interested in Anastasia since I read a book about her, with pictures from her life, anyway this movie was a version with Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner, the plot of the movie is similar to that of the cartoon, however the Rasputin aspect isn't there. It was a nice movie, I liked it.

The Paycheck: This is a pretty good action movie, not the best but pretty good. I hadn't noticed it when watching but in some of the extended stuff on the DVD they were talking about how they had been inspired by Hitchcock, especially North by Northwest and I saw what they meant, I just wouldn't have been able to put my finger on it otherwise. The plot of this movie is akin to that of Minority Report if you've seen that, I think I enjoyed this movie far more though. I liked the concept of the movie, it was unusual.

Spellbound: Alfred Hitchcock made simply amazing movies, he was a master of his art and I don't know that anyone, even today, does thriller movies like he did. In this movie Ingrid Bergman is a psychiatrist or psychoanalyst, I don't recall witch, she meets and falls in love with Gregory Peck's character only to find that he is not who he seemed to be and that he's accused of murder. Peck's character has amnesia and a guilt complex and Ingrid Bergman is determined to cure him and prove his innocence. It's a fascinating movie.
Murder on the Orient Express: I've never read the book by Agatha Christie but this movie is a wonderful whodunit, drama, comedy, emotion and intriguing. It's wonderful, simply wonderful and part of that is that there are so many wonderful actors in the movie; Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, and so many more.I highly recommend it.

Breakfast at Tiffany's: I hate the song but I love this movie. I'm a big fan of Audrey Hepburn and this movie is one of my favorites. Audrey Hepburn and George Pepard are wonderful in this movie.

Adam's Rib: This is a funny movie, but more than that it's a movie about laws and equality, specificly equality between women and men. Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy play a married couple of lawyers who find themselves testing their relationship when they go against each other in court. I think this must have been quite a monumental movie, such issues were not common place then as they are today. I still don't know how to take this movie, there are many blows forged for women's equality, but it almost feels bitter sweet, I could just not be seeing, but it feels like the dominant male sentiment of the day, has the last laugh in the end.

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not: This was a movie that I'd wanted to see at international cinema but missed, I wasn't quite sure what to expect but the preview I saw must have looked cool or something. This movie is French and half chick flick, half horror movie, I felt a lot safer in the world before watching this movie. The way the story is portrayed is not done in the traditional sense but from two different sides, first we see the story from the girl's point of view, then from the guys and the difference in their point of views is quite a shock. This isn't a movie that I ever want to see again, in fact I'm wishing that I hadn't seen it because it really creeped me out.

The Bourne Ultimatum: I am a fan of the whole trilogy and I think this might be the coolest of them all. These movies are flawless and each one ups the ante. In this movie Bourne finally makes it back to his beginning and seems to have gotten away from the CIA once and for all...unless there's another movie that I haven't heard about.
Sabrina: There are two versions of this movie, the original with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart and the newer one with Harrison Ford and Juila O.... I forget, at any rate, I am talking about the original. I love this movie, it's a charming Cinderella story with very witty humor. This is the movie where Hepburn and Givinchy got together. I like both versions of this movie but this version is my favorite, I find Bogie more believable as Linus Larabee, William Holden more charming and of course how could anyone out do Audrey Hepburn?

Indiscreet: I'm unsure about this movie, parts of it were really awesome, parts were blah and parts were not cool. Carey Grant and Ingrid Bergman are in love but lies are discovered and problems come up. One thing that comes from this movie is a message that you shouldn't lie about things, and I'm behind that 100% but there's a sort of battle of the sexes and the ending of the movie did not sit well with me. The movie was made in 1958 and that probably accounts for it's chuvanism but it doesn't make it any more plesant.

Australia: Wow, I've been wanting to watch this movie since I saw the previews about a year ago...obviously these things take me a while; it didn't disappoint though, it was a pretty awesome movie, even after they hype has faded down. I must say I was a bit disappointed that I could tell that computer animation was used in some parts but I suppose that can be dealt with. I wish that there weren't a few things in there that are, however I believe it's rated pg 13 and so I was warned. This movie was really awesome, really sad and the stars of the movie are both really pretty (Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman). The plot of this movie is very similar to that of Out of Africa but the issue of race and discrimination is dealt with much more. I am not very familiar with Australia at all but in Australia around the time of WWII the main ethnical groups in Australia were white and Aboriginies and as was usual for the time period, there was discrimination agains the Aboriginies but what really struck me was that below the Aboriginies on the social ladder were childeren who were half white and half Aboriginy, "creamies" was one of the derogatory terms. These poor childeren would be shipped off to an island, to an asylum away from their parents...or mothers really, since most of their fathers wouldn't claim them. It may have occured, but I'm not aware of anything like that happening with the racial discrimination between white and black people and this really struck me, that these poor children were just stuck between worlds, and not really able to join either. This movie really touched me and made me think.

Damn Yankees: This was an interesting movie, not the best plot, not the greatest music, but the dancing was great. This movie was choreographed by Bob Fossse and his wife, Gwen Verden was one of the stars, they even have a dance number together. This movie also made me think, the plot is that a man sells his soul to help his favorite team beat the Yankees, and so he makes a deal with the devil. The way the devil was portrayed in the movie made me wonder about how things would be if one made a deal witht the devil.
