My first blog on this subject was obliterated by a pop-up so I'll try again.
Last night, my husband and I watched a movie that we both enjoyed. It was "The Notebook" and it is a beautiful love story. Gina Rowland and James Garner play the couple in their old age when she has Alseimer's and doesn't know her husband and he lives at the nursing home just to take care of her. He reads her the story of how they met, fell in love, and got married, trying to jog her memory. This is a movie I will watch again.
As I was trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about movies I have seen that I didn't mind watching more than once. So many movies nowadays are so forgetable.
As a child, I liked Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and Trigger, of course. And who could forget Lassie. I used to feel sorry for Elizabeth Taylor - I thought she seemed sad.
When I was in high school, I worked at the local theater. It was a fun job and I got to see all the movies for free. My favorite from that era was "The Snows of Kilamanjara" with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner.
More recently, some of my favorites are: "E.T.", "Forrest Gump" "Big", "Cast Away" and "Babe".
A few years ago, there was a movie made about the Tucker car. My husband's family enjoyed that movie because Paul's father had the dealership for the Tucker. If you saw the movie, you know that 50 Tuckers were built as demonstrators. One of those cars was delivered to Cheyenne where Paul's Dad picked it up and drove it home. Paul and his Mom got to ride in the car. If you haven't seen the movie, you should try to rent it to see why that was special.
I would be interested in knowing what favorite movies others have seen. As you can see by my list, I like Tom Hanks. And I think "Babe" is such a good movie for children because of the lessons it taught.
