You write something profound or moving or witty and it disappears into cyberspace! <br /><br />I just borrowed movies from the library and didn't think of 'John Adams'. I'll look for it next time I go in there. I know it won a bunch of awards and accolades.

I love old movies, or great new ones, too!<br /><br />One I just watched over the weekend, actually a mini series, was John Adams. I cried at the end, I cried an hour later, and I cried the next day!

We don't own it and it's probably good that we don't or I would never get anything done. Patrick Swayze is so incredibly drool-worthy in that movie. I don't find him that attractive in any of his other films for some reason though. The play version has been here in Boston for a few months - it may have ended by now. Lots of girls nights out to see it - though I couldn't figure out why - for me if Patrick isn't performing it what's the point?<br /><br />And as Sandy will tell you TKAM is my favorite book ever - and along with 12 Angry Men is probably one of my favorite classic films too. I am glad to know she is finally getting around to it!<br /><br />I wish I had known about your blog last summer when a friend gave my husband a chicken for a birthday present. You would have been very helpful I am sure. Reminds me that I will need to do a post about that story some day - it would be a funny one.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587634783902486718.post-17469163945660094072009-06-01T14:40:01.374-04:002009-06-01T14:40:01.374-04:00OH YES I do.

I too love Dirty Dancing. The "Guilty Pleasure" category could have been filled by about a dozen movies for me. When Harry Met Sally, Dirty Dancing, Baby Boom, etc. You know, To Kill a Mockingbird is my mom's favorite book and movie. I've not seen either.
