"The Turning Point", again about ballet. Good melodrama. Plus, catfight!
Also you can see my first girlfriend in that movie. She's in two scenes.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Running Scared!!
Been ages since I've seen that movie. Only thing I can remember about it is the local troublemakers labeling their undercover police car as such with spray paint.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I remember it as having a throwaway plot but lots of lovely little moments of relaxed charm and wit throughout.

Company is a good dance movie, too.

Thanks, guys! Frustratingly, netflix is disappointing me once again, by not having a copy of White Nights. I've seen all the others. Except for the Vera-Ellen stuff, which I'm going to go check out now, to see what's what.
I thought "Dear Frankie" was great, but I felt like it needed the final scene between the mom and son, where she explained things to him. I missed it, mostly because it felt like that was what the entire movie was building towards, and then it happened off camera. Gerard Butler was awesome, though. They were all awesome, actually.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't remember if Three Little Girls In Blue is the one with the dream sequence in Candy Land, but it's a good one anyway.

Darn it! That sounds cool, Jesse, but netflix hates me.
I loved Candy Land.

Allibelle, have you seen the movie Black Tights? That's an excellent, older dance film.

Compassionately intolerant
Alibelle, I can see the desire for that last missing scene...but then, it felt like a lot of stuff was left untidy: What was Marie's motivation? What, specifically, happened to Frankie and why doesn't he remember it? Just how long would the stranger be away...etc.
And I kind of liked it that way.
I really liked everyone's performances..."Gear-ulls love secrets, Frankie." That little girl (Jayd Johnson) won my heart.
And...well...Gerard. God help me, I love everything he's in. Even the 30 seconds in Mrs. Brown.
Apparently, the fella who played Ally...such a warm performance with no dialogue!...is in Batman Begins. Another reason to see it!
