Again? Do they play it on TV every year where you're at, or do you have it? I've never seen it but would love to.

i watched the whole thing. best scene: all the ghosts watching movies in the bedroom, lit by the glow of the TV.

it was a pretty good flick. i assume her husband came back in order to help her get over his death, and he did it in a very sweet way--reaffirming his love, but reaffirming his faults, too.

and you gotta like that floppy-haired magician character. what a sweetie.

thanks for the recommendation.

What I'll be watching tonight is one of my favorite movies - Waterloo Bridge. It stars Vivien Leigh & Robert Taylor...now I can hear you youngsters say Vivien who & Robert who. It came out shortly after Gone With the Wind and I've read it was Ms. Leigh's favorite role. Give it a view if possible and bring along pleanty of tissues.

Celia Johnson is also in "The Holly and the Ivy" which is a Christmas movie that I'm sure you would enjoy.

Yes. That is great too. I was fortunate to find Celia Johnson's biography a couple of years ago. It is also very interesting to read about the making of the film -- there is much to find on the internet regarding the trains, and the set, for example. In addition, I find the Rachmaninoff score used to best advantage -- don't you agree, Aesop?

Anyway, I watched Flint Street Nativity last night with my family. It is our new tradition, which began last year. It really is funny. Last month, I lent it to a friend (who should be arriving in Manchester any minute now, actually) who said she watched it about ten times and was crying after only the second viewing. She loved it.

we watched all the vicaar of dibley episdoes that were on the series 1DVD, and mailed it back to netflix. now i see that the Norwegian has quietly removed all the other vicar of dibley DVDs from our netflix queue.

Here is a link to the Wikpedia entry about the film if you want to look at it.

P.S. Yes, Veggie, glad to see you back here.

we watched the movie "the devil wears prada" the other night. i hated the book. hated it. hated it with a deep passion. but we rented the movie because we had read that meryl streep was particularly brilliant in it.

she was good. but the movie was way too much like the book, which, as i might have mentioned already, i truly hated.
