I must say my all time favorite is It's a Wonderful Life. The story has so much meaning to me. Whenever I think at the end all the community coming to help George out with all the money to make up the difference in his Uncle's bookkeeping mistake. (Darned ol' Mr. Potter!) I can't help but always remember when I was a young teen and my Dad getting layed off from his job. He was a maintenance worker at a local hospital. He was given the boot just a few weeks before Christmas. With 4 kids and a mortgage was so much to bear before Christmas. The hard thing too is that he had already been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease (he was in his mid to late 30's). Well, he was loved by all the employees there. He was President of the Employee's Association and set up many wonderful outings to plays, comedy, etc.. So, when news got out one of his co-workers came over just about a week or two into December. He presented my Dad with a small gold papered box. Inside was $1800 CHC (cold hard cash)! He was moved to tears! All the employees pitched in money to help us out! WE were all excited and even fanned the money out on the ground and took a picture of it! So, whenever I see that movie, it brings me to tears of the goodness of people's souls coming to help a friend in need. The saying, "What goes around, comes around." always rings true with me! Love, Jules

My favorites not in order...The color purple, Fried green tomatoes, Ordinary people, Terms of endearment, Chicago , most Jason Statham movies, most Bruce Willis movies. I also really like movies with Kathy Bateman, Tommy Lee Jones, and Melissa McCathy. Love quirky comedies like The invention of lying. There are more but that's off the top of my head. Thought of more. ..When Harry meet Sally, Catty shack, Something about Mary. Oh you have to have A Few Good Men on your list!!! Jack Nicholson is one of the stars. Favorite quote..."You can't Handle the Truth"!

Oh, this movie is such a tear jerker. The book is even better: James Dean in East of Eden, final scene with Raymond Massey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKYWpp-qKuQ On the lighter side, Barbara Billingsley in Airplane: "Oh Stewardess, I speak jive!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0j2dVuhr6s

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!
