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.

    I think I saw this on TCM several years ago, but I'm not sure. It doesn't really look familiar to me.

    I was lucky enough to see Yul Brynner in a revival of The King and I on Broadway when I lived up north! He didn't disappoint! :D

    I loved the King and I both versions and I think this is one I may have seen as a play in Chicago when I was growing up-my Mom loved the theater

    I loved this film back in the day. I saw it on TV in the late 60s. It was a huge success and won multiple awards. It's still banned in Thailand. I haven't seen it in ages and wonder if the whitewashing issue explains why I never see it offered on tv now.

    Good film. When I was in high school we took a trip to Boston to see this story as a play starring Yul Brynner in his original role. It was pretty cool. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. These nights are a bit cool but they sure makes sleeping good. Hugs-Erika

      Seeing Brynner on stage must have been so exciting
