Ooooh, good choices Sue.
I think my childhood notions of a great party were formed by the ending of
Go, Dog, Go!
However, on the cinematic side I've always wanted to go to the party in
Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Also, the house party in
Almost Famous
where the rock stars show up, looked fun.
And the soiree with all the New Wave glasses in RHPS.
Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in
The Thin Man.
Nora: Is that my drink over there?
Nick: What are you drinking?
Nora: Rye.
Nick: (He picks up the glass and drains its contents.) Yes. That's yours.
Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in The Thin Man.
Oooh, excellent choice. I'm drawn to a lot of Fellini's movie parties even though they're usually satirical and mocking.
I just saw his amazing "Toby Dammit" segment from the horror anthology
Spirits of the Dead
and I desperately wanted to go to that Oscar Party From Hell.
Then again, I wanted to live in the
Bladerunner
dystopia too.
I can't recall if we actually see the parties in Auntie Mame or just their aftermath, but I'm sure they were fun.
Of the ones I actually remember, it's a toss-up between the costume ball inside the Christmas ornament in Labyrinth and the one in Back to School where the band is Oingo Boingo and they perform "Dead Man's Party."
I can't recall if we actually see the parties in Auntie Mame or just their aftermath, but I'm sure they were fun.
I can't recall either, but I'm pretty sure everything in
Auntie Mame
was fun.
It says a lot about what a partier I am not that I would be most comfortable at the dinner parties thrown in Sliding Doors or Notting Hill.
I just love those good friends and good food scenarios.
The dinner party at
Big Night!
Couldn't see if it was there, but 200 Cigarettes if only because Elvis shows up.
The dinner party at Big Night!
Oh, that's a good one.
The Party
springs to mind.
I can't recall if we actually see the parties in Auntie Mame or just their aftermath, but I'm sure they were fun.
I remember at least one, but I'm not sure whether Rosalind Russell or Lucille Ball was involved. And there's a very big difference.
As for me, depends on my mood. Overall, I think I'd prefer Dinner at Eight. But sometimes only The Party would do.
