i finally got to see "Inside Job"....i think it should be required watching for every single american adult. it's an unbelievable walk through the fraud that caused the economic crash in 2008...documentary style. i think artistically, it could have been more enjoyable. but info-wise it was super. everyone needs to take a minute and digest what is in this movie!

i just saw a movie i've never seen before...an oldie. i love oldies. this was "sunday in new york" with jane fonda. the jokes are soooo blue, which was fun. but it said alot about social mores between men and women in the middle of the century...and now. AND it was a cute love story. but i highly recommend it to see how far and how not so far we've come! ....thanks for those recommendations, elle! i haven't seen either one. will do!!!

Does the icon say "media"?  Thanks for the update! 

 

Another really good one with the two actors I mentioned is Since You Went Away, also starring a teen-aged Shirley Temple, Claudette Colbert, Hattie McDaniel and one of my all-time favorites, Robert Walker.  It's a long one (3 hours) about the struggles of those left behind during WWII and had me crying 5 minutes into it the other day (even though I've seen it several times before) when a few minutes before that I was unmoved by the end of Beaches.  (Just so you know I wasn't in a weepy mood to begin with.  <laughing>)

 

Love Letters is so good because besides being a sweet love story there's a mystery in there, too.  Such a good movie!!!

i never saw this, elle! great idea! the embed doesn't work on this particular movie, because there is no embedment code on it. that's REALLY odd...but in general grab the embed code. put it in the box. like before. but now yo uhave to hit the button on here that looks like a filmstrip. right third one in from "link"..see?

For Lisa (and you other "old movie buffs") - have you ever seen this one???  One of my favorites with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton.

 

I'm trying to figure out why "embed" doesn't work for me anymore.  : (

Oh, I caught part of the baby one.  Remember Joan Bennett (Liz's mom) from Dark Shadows??

I was stuck on old movies this weekend.  (Kind of laid up with a bad back.)  Watched Wings of Morning with Henry Fonda and a delightful French actress named Annabella, who I'd never heard of before.   Next was Sea of Grass with Kate and Spence (typing one handed - excuse the abbreviations).  Finished up with Raintree County with Liz Taylor.  They just don't make 'em like that any more!
