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.
Me, too. One of my all-time faves.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. 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.

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.

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.

There was one? For real? Did not know this.(maybe now that I do, I can train my brain to think it's not typo-riffic.) I did know that one of the signers from RI had a mild form of cerebral palsy, which I bet even my know-it-all Not-secret boyfriend KO doesn't know. But of course, he wouldn't think he found a brother if he found it.

Ok, I am full of shit.
The signer WAS spelled with two t's. [link]
Stupid Aaron Sorkin. Spelling it wrong.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Josiah Bartlett is one of the New England representatives in 1776, and I liked how Sorkin gave Jed that rather formidable ancestry.
Edited to add a "t" to be correct.

Well, I gotta stand by the Brainy Jewish Guy's misspelling at this point...maybe he'll let me have a Josh Lyman of my own, sometime. It'd be nice to have somebody to hang with when I'm feeling all hand-wringy.
