Oh Yeah, The Long Long Trailer, I love that one! The first New Year's Eve, when I met my now husband 31 years ago, I was So sick with Influenza (really bad! ) and he stayed on the phone with me through the whole movie, with me in and out of feverish, delerious sleep, and my ear to the phone, ahhh! The Great Outdoors and Harry and the Hendersons! I took my kids camping one year, they were all under 9 years old, and we got rained out, so we went to town to the laundromat to dry out our sleeping bags, and do a load of muddy laundry and hit up the theater next door for a double feature of both movies, the 4 year old was scared to death at Harry and the Hendersons! Lol! Good times!
The Money Pit and the Great Outdoors are long time faves of ours, but since I am stuck on the chair for awhile I'll be watching TV,, hope to find some good ones!!
Hope and Glory! Always a good Movie watching on a rainy afternoon, with a Pot of Tea, and some good Chocolates! And alone, preferably! Lol!
To Sir with Love Love Story
Musicals are my thing, so: The King and I It Happened at the Worlds Fair (gotta represent Seattle, Lol!) My Fair Lady Hello Dolly GREASE! THE Sound of Music (of Course!) Funny Girl CLAM BAKE, with Elvis! Merry Poppins WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! My very first date! To the local cinema with the cutest boy in 6th grade! He bought the tickets, brought me Chocolate and held my hand, HEAVEN! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! A Star is Born
Wow, now I have a date with my Couch, my Blankie, my little Charlie-girl pooch and a cup of tea! Sending hubby out for the Chocolates!
My Welsh family relatives are leaving tomorrow, after nearly 3 weeks of go,go,go! I desperately need a couple of relaxing and recovery days, and our gloomy Seattle weather has returned, so a great time to kick back and watch some old favorites! Keep those ideas coming!
Being a huge movie geek, I am taking this assignment seriously. However - humor is tricky. I noticed my list doesn't have anything really current. I think that's because I'm not fond of a lot of current "funny" guys like Will Farrell, Ben Stiller and especially Adam Sandler. Also, some humor like the Monty Python movies are an acquired taste. I know I'll think of more - but for now - and in no particular order: Shaun of the Dead, 9 to 5, The Birdcage, A League of Their Own, Roman Holiday, Airplane, Dr. Strangelove, Young Frankenstein and Tootsie. Also, French Kiss - which isn't overly funny but is beautifully sweet.
Ground Hog Day (Bill Murray and Andie McDowell....so funny. Also, Private Benjamin *Goldie Hawn) Legally Blonde Being There I've watched them all many times and they still make me laugh.
