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.

Il Postino (The Postman): This is an Italian movie that I love, my second favorite Italian movie after Life is Beautiful (Vita e Bella). This movie is about an island postman who becomes friends with the famous poet Pablo Neruda and from him learns about poetry, love and the beauty that surrounds him in his island home. I highly recomend it, it's very heart warming.

The Magnificent Seven: This movie was inspired by the Japanese movie The Seven Samurai, which I haven't seen but hope to see. I may have said this before but I'm not a huge fan of westerns, this however felt more like an action movie and I know that westerns technically fall into that category, I mean an action movie today. The movie has a star studded cast Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, other famous people who's names I don't remember but who's faces you'd recognize... America is a funny place and kind of awesome too, in America a Mongolian can be a cowboy and a German can be a Mexican.

Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb: Yes that really is the whole title of the movie. This is a black satire about the cold war. Peter Sellers stars in not one but three roles, it was originally going to be four but I think that'd probably be too much for anyone. An unauthorized air strike against the Russians has been set into action and seems impossible to stop, worse than that the Russians have a doomsday machine that will destroy everything on the earth if the Russians attack. A darkly comedic look at a infamous era in history with such memorable lines as "Gentlemen please, no fighting in the war room!" and a creepy German, Dr. Strangelove himself.

Into The Woods: Technically this is a play, however I've only ever seen this version which they recorded for video. Bernadette Peters is in this cast and Chip Zeins (that could be wrong). I quite enjoy this play, it's a bit of a satire on a bunch of fairy tales: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, etc. This show is incredibly funny, fairly sad, and makes you stop and think about moral issues. It's quite a show.

Up: I loved this movie, it was the best Pixar movie that I've seen to date, it's sweet and laugh out loud funny. If you haven't seen it, you totally should!
