And I love the Angelica Huston/Raul Julia versions so much.

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.

Astin and Jones were the more iconic Gomez and Morticia for me, but Christina Ricci owns Wednesday.

The scene in Addams Family Values where she's forced to smile would have done that all by itself, but there was so much more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'd love to see Bebe Neuwirth playing Morticia. Has that been on Broadway or was that just in my head?

That sounds so right and familiar that it might have been something someone said here, but it might have been Broadway too.

That's the Addams Family musical that opened in Chicago, and is going to be opening on Broadway sometime this spring. I really, really want to see it.

All the happy campers taking that involuntary step backwards in reaction is one of my all-time favorite film moments.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I confess I don't think I've ever laughed as much at the start of a movie as at "Darling, wonderful news! We're going to have a baby. ...Right now."
