It does look suspicious however doesn't it? <br /><br />I love your additions to my list, and I want to see Morris:A life with Bells On too.

I loved Notting Hill and About a Boy! <br />Ones to add to your list? What about Shirley Valentine, Saving Grace, Pink Panther or Waking Ned Devine (although Ned is an Irish film)?Charleybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411948723536117366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-43574704726096232992011-06-30T19:50:40.523-04:002011-06-30T19:50:40.523-04:00@Melmel-I will have to check out Beautiful Creatur...@Melmel-I will have to check out Beautiful Creatures. I just checked it out on IMDb and Rachel Weisz is a platinum blonde in it! Sounds like a fun one. Love the other two!<br /><br />@Bigsister-I know that TMD is your fave of faves. I can't believe that it is not available in DVD either! Crazy!<br /><br />@ladytoesocks-so glad you are another fan of Death at a Funeral. I will never see the American version either (shudder). Really cute that Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes played spouses in this as they are married in real life. And you have always had good taste in film if you went to 4W&aF on your very first date. High five! I remember taking a guy to see Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie in the late 70s. He never asked me out again as I think it wasn't quite his taste.

I saw "Death At A Funeral" in the theater when it was released and loved it. When the American version came out, I immediately ordered the original in my own sort of protest. "Four Weddings and A Funeral" was the first movie I ever went to on my first date night ever. Yes, a lot of these movies hold specific memories, which make them even bigger favorites for me. Great list.Caffeinated Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937721186991825354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-65990983515914790542011-06-30T10:11:24.490-04:002011-06-30T10:11:24.490-04:00Dear Jenny:

Although I have missed seeing a couple of your choices (namely, Death at a Funeral and Kinky Boots) - must see them immediately. And I certainly second Mel Mel's choice of Truly Madly Deeply although I am completely confounded as to why it has never come out on DVD (insert gobsmacked face here!) - I just checked on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com and there are no Region 1 DVDs available, and even new Region 2 DVDs cost upwards of $130! As the kids would say, WTF! Time to slap in the old VHS copy for another viewing ...<br />I'll see if I can think of any more (but I'm at work now, and I need to look at my DVD collection to spark my memory).<br />Love,<br />Big SisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-43643846963058548122011-06-29T23:56:12.064-04:002011-06-29T23:56:12.064-04:00Most of these I've seen but a few I haven'...Most of these I've seen but a few I haven't! Adding them to Netflix immediately. A few on my list - Beautiful Creatures with Rachel Weisz and Susan Lynch. It's a dark comedy but I love it! The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain. And Truly Madly Deeply with the divine Alan Rickman...Mel Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000426700917741670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-8506503490893302272011-06-29T20:41:10.786-04:002011-06-29T20:41:10.786-04:00Hi Jj
