Pidge, we saw the original some years ago, and enjoyed it. I see the film called Mostly Martha but I thought the title was Bella Marta when it was released in the US. Or maybe that was the European title. At any rate, I recommend the original.

Playing with my camera one night, I took a picture of Uncle Charlie giving niece Charlie the ring in Shadow of a Doubt. I can't bring myself to delete this picture! diane_nj mentioned Key Largo. Some other great Edward G. Robinson movies: Double Indemnity (seductive Barbara Stanwyck practically sets the screen on fire), Scarlet Street, The Stranger. Paul Muni is excellent in Scarface & I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang. I can see why he was so respected in his day.

I'm going to throw out one because I love Scotland. It's an oldie called, "I Know Where I'm Going" which is a precursor to another great one, "Local Hero." Another Scottish one, "Dear Frankie." Some others--Outsourced, Hector's Search for Happiness, The Whole Wide World, French Kiss, and of course, Dirty Dancing. I also liked the Addams Family Values movie, which has a fantastic summer camp parody. Since summer means road trips to me, some others are "The Electric Horseman" and "Smoke Signals" and "Harry and Tonto." And the all time "fun day" movie is "Roman Holiday." Maybe "Starman" for another road trip kind of movie. or how about "If It's Tuesday it Must Be Belgium" which is an oldie but a classic. I love old movies so YMMV. I suppose maybe "A River Runs Through It" but that one is sad. "The River Why" is a good scenery movie if you like fishing, but my SO thought it was boring. Apparently James Duncan, the author of the novel, didn't like it either and sued to have his name disassociated with it. The book is great if you like water and fish. Speaking of so so movies with good scenery, my dad loves "The Proposal." I think he has a mild crush on Sandra Bullock. Don't we all!

I do love A Christmas Story, and will find time to watch it once, all the way through, a few days before Christmas. I don't want to get tired of it! I just wish that my mother, an elementary school teacher who loved children, could see it with me. But my all-time favorite movie for this time of year is Falling In Love, with Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro. I'm sure that it was a minor movie for both of them, and yes, it's improbable and way sentimental, but it reminds me somehow of DH and me. And both of them are gorgeous!
