"These mashed potatoes are so creamy."
"My mother hadn't had a hot meal in years..."
"Why you stuck up, scruffylooking, nerfherder!.... Who's scruffy lookin'?"
"We're all fine here... how are you?"
Anyway, I find that sometimes you really just need to sit down and enjoy a good flick. My girls and I will do movie days, every so often. We start at the early show, schedule the remainder of the day at the theater, and then go home after the last show. We go in comfy clothes, take our mugs, wear our baseball hats and eat gross theater food all day. If you can't make the entire day, we schedule you in for what you can make. Cheaper and better than a therapist, so I hear.
So since I've talked about my some of my favorite tunes, here's some of my favorite shows of all time. The shows you can watch and quote and still find funny or tender; the shows that make your day better when nothing else can.
The Man From Snowy River (number 1 of all time)
Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea (when she comes home from school and runs to Marilla? gets me every time. and matthew dying? 0hhh- weep.)
Under the Tuscan Sun (mostly just because of the cinematography and the idea of moving to Italy and having a great adventure- story line is alright)
The Holiday (iris simpkins- love her)
White Christmas (i've already watched this like 4 times in the past two weeks)
Pillow Talk (talkin' to you is like being next to a potbelly stove on a cold mornin'.... Why Rex!)
The Slipper and the Rose (tragically found out that I DON'T have it on dvd AFTER i gave my vhs copy to the DI. i haven't recovered yet.)
The Notebook (wow- makes me a weeper, that one)
Hatari (when I can get through it. its not a sad movie at all, just the last movie i watched with pop and uncle bill :D )
Those are some of my favorites, just to name a few. I've got to figure out how to get them onto my ipod! And yours would be?

I would send you my copy of SATR vhs HOWEVER...I can't afford the DVD copy that has the whole show and not the abbreviated version. It's oop and about $75. You can get the TV edited version for $10 but it's not the full show like our VHS.
I feel so good - I know some of these! lovemom
I don't know that I could watch The Notebook again. I sobbed and sobbed near the end of that movie!
