Thursday Thirteen 12th edition

13 Good flicks to snuggle up with

1. Pride & Prejudice (tha A&E several disks version)

2. Anne of Green Gables

3. Bachelor Mother -black and white with Ginger Rogers, a comedy!! She is funny, and there are so many good quotes from this one...a new- years scene too, nice to watch at new years.

4. Philadelphia Story with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn-oh a classic, and funny

5. Emma

6. Sense & Sensibility

7. Arsenic and old lace- Cary Grant again, you'll laugh so hard

8. Shop around the corner-Jimmy Stewart, "you have mail" was a re-do of this, this one much better, tho the other was sweet too.

9. Ever After -just beautiful and sweet, Angelica Houston was hilarious.

10. Jeeves & Wooster -of course!! Hubby says should be at top of my list! -introduce yourself to the Hugh Laurie we all knew before he had a t.v. show here.

11. Mr. Blandings builds his dream house- another Cary Grant, several re-do's of this-"the money pit" is one I can think of..this is better.

12. The Thin man - Any of them, they are all good, black& white-Myrna Loy I think

13. Princess Bride - " As you wish.../ Never start a land war in Asia/and never mess with a Sicilian when death is on the line!!" The ultimate classic and the ultimate quoteable!

it's getting chilly here in So. Ca, I'm thinking of a good movie to cozy up with...

Merry Christmas

At 1:14 AM, Anonymous said...: Great list! The Princess Bride is one of my favourite movies! :) "Inconceivable!" :D Arsenic and Old Lace is also great - we put on the play when I was in high school, and it was fabulous. :)

Have a good day. :)

At 5:06 AM, Jane said...: Thanks for this list. I love Cary Grant movies and "Mr Blandings" is one of my faves. I will have to look for the Jimmy Stewart movie. I don't think I have seen it but want to now.
Thanks for visiting my T13. Have a gret day.
At 6:59 AM, Kelly said...: You have great taste in movies--I have seen and love almost all of these. My fav movie of all time is "The Princess Bride." Also, love, love Jane Austen.
At 7:15 AM, Anonymous said...: I must admit, I haven't seen most of these (only Princess Bride and Ever After)

I think I need to start watching more old movies!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Blessings,

At 7:29 AM, Southern Girl said...: Great choices! I've seen and love most of them. When I was in college, my roommate and I would watch "Arsenic and Old Lace" over and over and just CRY with laughter.

Happy TT!
At 7:52 AM, Unknown said...: Emma and The Princess Bride have to be my favorites!

All wonderful movies!

Have a great Thursday!
At 8:19 AM, Ingrid said...: Arsenic and old lace ! This title jumped in my eyes. I don't know how many times I watched this movie ! It is unic and very good when you feel a little depressed !
At 8:28 AM, Susanne said...: Ever After is a fave at my house! My girls and I have an Anne of Green Gables (with Megan Fallows) Marathon once a year, where just us girls sit up all night long and watch the whole thing with lots of popcorn, chips, cookies and apple cider.

I didn't know that Jimmy Stewart was the original of You've got mail. I've never seen it but will have to look for it now.
At 8:33 AM, Anonymous said...: Ahhh The Princess Bride. My hubby and his pal can just about quote that entire movie.

My 13 are up.
At 9:57 AM, Anonymous said...: I am a bit embarrased to say the only movie I saw was Pride & Prejudice - and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today :-)

At 2:54 PM, Anonymous said...: Oh man, I have completely lost track of the number of times I've seen The Princess Bride. SUCH a great movie!
At 7:18 PM, Anonymous said...: I love so many of these! But Wooster & Jeeves is such a treat-I keep promising myself I'll read the books, but I never get around to it...
At 11:02 PM, Anonymous said...: I just ordered A&E's Literary Classics: The Romance Collection megaset of DVDs which includes Pride and Prejudice. It's a family Christmas present. We might just have to torture my husband with some of these. http://tinyurl.com/v566o
At 12:01 PM, Anonymous said...: I love Mr. Blandings builds his dream house!

The whole bit about the well cracks me up. He has to pay per foot and expensively too to get the well where there doesn't appear to be water while just yards away there's some sort of flood problem and they can't just put the well where the water actually is...that would be too easy.

I have thought of that movie often in the last few weeks as I've bought and moved into my first home and discovered some interesting phenomenon -er- features.
At 1:54 PM, Anonymous said...: I love #2, I have started watching it again with my 5 yr old daughter.

Love #5, 6, 7 and believe it or not have seen parts of 13, but not all the way through.

Great list, happy TT!
At 8:00 AM, EHT said...: Hi Jennifer! Thanks for visiting History Is Elementary. I hope you come back often.

Though I'm a public ed teacher I admire homeschooling moms. I did it myself for a time.

I loved reading your list. I have seen many of your choices over and over. Some of my students have mentioned that they have seen the HOUSE tv show.....they were so surprised when I connected that mean doctor with the limp to Stuart Little's father. I just love Hugh Laurie!
At 9:35 AM, Qtpies7 said...: Much Ado About Nothing, Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington, its an all star cast, and it is funny! It is my all time favorite movie.
I love many of the movies on your list, too, so I will have to seek out the ones I haven't seen or heard, I bet I'll love them too.
