Saturday Afternoon at the Movies

This idea came from a Facebook meme:
Over 10 days, post your 10 all time favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or even a screenshot on your timeline. No need to explain.

Only I had a hard time picking out just 10 movies so my favorites over the next few hundred Saturdays 😸 in semi-alphabetical order:me favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or even a screenshot on your timeline. No need to explain.

Only I had a hard time picking out just 10 movies so my favorites over the next few hundred Saturdays 😸 in semi-alphabetical order:


The Four Feathers (1939) John Clements, Ralph Richardson

or


The Four Feathers (2002), Heath Ledger, Wes Bentley

If you haven't seen this movie, the 1939 version is available on YouTube.

You won't believe this, but I have actually seen this film sometime in my distant past! Valerie

I don't think I ever saw the original, nor the remake. And I just noticed your teaching schedule on the left side of your blog. I used to do calligraphy for the fun of it a long time ago. And as you can probably tell from some of my blog artwork, I love all things medieval and illuminated manuscripts. :-)

I've seen the '39 version and didn't remember it being remade again that recently. I always meant to watch the other remakes but then I forgot lol The '39 version, though, is well worth watching. Great film :)

You'd probably enjoy it. A dash of romance with a dash or action.

CJ Kennedy said...

Me, too. Just something about the old films.

You just never spent your formative years in front of the electronic babysitter. That's not a bad thing.

CJ Kennedy said...

Indeed. When actors could act and writers told a good story.

I have never even heard about this one! I have to watch it! Thanks CJ!

CJ Kennedy said...

It's a good story.
