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 saw Joe Black on TV and enjoyed it, but you can't beat Frederic March. I'd gladly watch either of them again.

      Old movies when directors could tell a story and actors could actually act. But both these movies are enjoyable.

      Since Death Takes a Holiday is a really old film, I bet a lot of people have never seen it or made the connection to Meet Joe Black

    Joe Black - one of my favorite movies, too:) Also love the soundtrack. Thanks to you, we'll watch it again soon.
    Did not know the connection with Death Takes a Holiday. Will take a closer look!

      Joe Black is a loosely based modern adaptation.

      No, as a kid, you just didn't spend hours with the electronic babysitter.

    I liked the 1934 version better, but both are good.
