Dinner at Eight (just for the final exchange between Marie Dressler and Jean Harlow alone)
That one doesn't even need to be mentioned -- it should just be assumed. (Though that's just the peak of two brilliant performances.)
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Thrive to spite them
I love It Happened One Night I haven't seen Dinner at Eight I'll have to put that on my list.
Another movie I love is The Thin Man I watch it every time it comes on TCM even though I've seen it dozens of times. This Christmas I finally broke down and asked for the Thin Man box set.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Both Dressler and Harlow completely rock that film, and not just that final scene. They're such polar opposites, but really the characters I can relate the most to (except for poor Wallace Beery, having to deal with Harlow at her ditsy best).

askye, do. Because it isn't just Dressler and Harlow. Billie Burke is also great in a role that could have been a disaster. Plus both Barrymore brothers (who aren't as memorable, but they are Barrymores).

Me, too. One of my all-time faves.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Oh The Thin Man! Love it!

Because books.
I like Shawshank very much, and I still love GWTW. I grew up loving it, and I still watch it once a year or so. (The book is not only much more racially biased, but a lot more complicated. Scarlett actually had three children!)
A *classic* I don't particularly like: Apocalypse Now, although I will admit I never got through the whole thing. Never wanted to. But there is my freakish loathing of Martin Sheen to consider.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Always Anti-fascist!
Didn't like AN either. But Bartlet rules. Though I still think it should be two t's like the pear.

Then they couldn't have used the connection to the real Bartlet guy that signed the Declaration of Independence. Sillyhead.
