My Favorite Movies

This was a must see! Johnny Depp has an Oscar worthy performance here and Helena Bonham Carter is right up there too. I am a big fan of the original Broadway production with Angela Landsbury and think this is equally grand. Tim Burton and Depp are again a perfect match. Johnny Depp is someone that even myself overlook all too often, he so versatile and a true great actor....go see this movie!!!!

I love this movie. Ever since seeing it when it came out in 1983 it has been a favorite of mine. If you love musicals you will enjoy it. Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith, Angela Lansbury, & Kevin Kline are a great cast in this film. Linda Ronstadt and Rex Smith are at there peak. Check this gem out...though it is hard to find on tv.

This has to be one of my favorite foreign film's. Indochine has such beautiful locations in Asia along the actors like Catherine Deneuve. Catherine is radiant in this film as an older wealthy woman whom has an affair with a younger man...check it out!

This has to be one of my favorite screwball comedies. This grand film from MGM studios stars the best coupings of; Myrna Loy, Williams Powell. Spencer Tracy, & Jean Harlow.

I love this film and it is truly a flm on top of my MUST SEE list. No matter in this comedy whom you end up with you are a winer no matter what. Other than the hit Thin Man series this is the other best vehicle for Loy & Powell. And the powers of Harlow & Tracy make it a very special comedy with great costumes, funny story line and more. Check this comedy staple out!

Black Book is a great foreign film from Germany. This story is regarding a Jewish woman who goes undercover in Germany to not just save herself but countless others during WWII. This is a well done movie with good twists and turns alng the way that keeps your attention.

Matt Dillon and Annabella Sciorra are good in this romantic comedy. They are a couple that divorced that might find here paths back to one another...a very nice film to see...love both actors!!

Working Girl is one of my favorite comedies...love it! Melanie Griffith was never better and Sigourney Weaver with Harrison Ford were great too.

A receptionist whom is trying her darndest (Griffith) to make it in 80's NYC. She gets a new boss (Weaver) whom is sweet but might be ready to back stab. And then enters the guy to save the day (Ford) whom is there to help Griffith get her day in the spotlight....such a well done film...love Carly Simon's song; "Let the Rive Run" which is the theme song for this movie....everything is soo good!

Steel Magnolias is such a very good movie all about a very good ensemble cast. There is no leading ladies or men but just very good plots and characters. Leading the pact of actors are: Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Daryl Hannah, Shirley Maclaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, Sam Shepard, and Dylan McDermott.

I truly love this movie that has many heart felt moments all throughout. If you have not as of yet seen this gem from 1989..what are you freak'n waiting for??!!!!

Soapdish is one of my guilt pleasures...such a funny movie with such good actors such as: Sally Field, Whoopie Goldberg, Elizabeth Shue, Robert Downey Jr, Cathy Moriarty, Kevin Kline, and Teri Hatcher.

This movie directed by Michael Hoffman shows you what happens behind closed doors on a soap opera....apparently another drama ensues...too funny!

Body Heat from 1981 starring Kathleen Turner (her first starring role) and William Hurt.

This movie centers around a very wealthy and married woman (Turner) whom meets a very single and interestsed man (Hurt). A web of lies and games are in the midst for this ill fated couple. A big Kathleen Turner and William Hurt fan here...check this classic 80's film out!

Romancing the Stone from 1984 is a very good comedy starring Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas, and Danny Devito...these three are soo funny teamed together.

A romance novelist (Turner) whom is use to the live of NYC and a hopeless romantic is thrown on a crazy trip to South America to rescue her sister. On the way she gets assistance by a handsome and big opportunist (Douglas). Togeher they set trail on a very long trip with many twists and turns along the way....such a good movie!

The Philadelphia Story, is one of my favorite MGM comedies of the 40's. A dream cast consisting of Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey and more. Have to love the studio system back in the day where they could get the best of the best in every role be a star studded film.....gotta love a very smart, well acted, funny, and great actors to watch in there prime....comedy at it's finest!!!

Chocolat starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp, Lena Olin, and Judy Dench is a sinfully good movie. A mysterious lady and her daughter move into this small European village and brings everyone a live with some wonderful chocolate. Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp are great in this film.

Presumed Innocent starring Harrison Ford, Raul Julia, Bonnie Bedelia, Greta Scacchi, and Brian Dennehy is a very good crime drama. I have read the best selling novel from Scott Torrow over a decade ago and it quickly became one of my favorite reads...the film does it justice.

The film centers on a very good prosecutor finds that a one time affair with another up and coming prosecutor is found deas is caught up in a very lengthy scheme of whom killed her. There are many lies and twist and turns that will find you very interested in this film from start to finish...a very godo casting for the film as well....very well done...see it!!
