Elephant Walk (1954) - Liz Taylor gets to choose between two gorgeous men, tea plantation-owner Peter Finch, and the foreman, Dana Andrews, while somehow keeping her beautiful Helen Rose wardrobe crisp and fresh, even in the middle of the jungle. How lucky can a girl get?

For A Few Dollars More (1965) - Mean and moody Clint, one of my favourite actors in Lee Van Cleef, world class direction from Sergio Leone and sublime music from Ennio Morricone. I can't think of many films that feature four giants of the silver screen, but this is certainly one of them.

MG!! Great seeing you! I hope all is well.
Boy, those "spaghetti westerns" are hard to beat. Lots of imitators, but no one could match Sergio Leone.

"Grease" - I wore my poodle skirt to watch it on the big-screen at our downtown theater last night, part of a retro-theme event encouraging folks to cruise Main Street in their classic cars. And they did - everything from show cars to rusty fixer-uppers. Really fun. And getting to see "Grease" on the big screen again, and sing along, was a blast.
A 12-year-old approached shyly and told me my poodle skirt was "lovely". I felt so honored!

Oh-my-gosh, Siren! How much fun was that?! It sounds very cool to me....and I bet you looked simply lovely in your lovely poodle skirt. We had a cruise down our main drag a few weeks ago too. "The Festival of Cars" is part of Harbor Fest, and cars from all eras show up every year for just a three block cruise (our downtown is not very big). Remember cruising back in the day? Dang, we had a blast in high-school just cruising Van D-yke (audio edit makes the dash necessary). The street runs all the way from rural towns, through the burbs, into Detroit...and encompasses god-knows-how-many school districts. If you had a car or knew someone with a car, Van D-yke was the place to be seen on Friday and Saturday nights. Another road to cruise in the suburban Detroit area was/is Woodward Avenue. We might have hit Woodward a few times, but it was a bit out of the way for us. It's heyday for cruising was in the 50s and 60s......and the present. "The Woodward Dream Cruise" is the world's largest one-day car event and is Michigan's highest grossing event economically. Here's a bit of history about Woodward Ave cruising in the early days, and how the organized Woodward Cruise got started. www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/About/History.aspxOh...I almost forgot I'm supposed to name a play or movie.

G- Ghost One of the most romantic movies

Just makes me sad, watching "Ghost", seeing poor Patrick Swayze. He was so, so handsome in that. Now that he's gone, watching that final scene, where he's saying goodbye, is just too sad.
I certainly do remember cruising, Gams. Such a good time, piling into a car with one's friends, and looking out for cars full of other friends. Our cruise was on Main Street, and it was packed every weekend. Sad that kids don't do that anymore. Do kids do anything together socially anymore, or is it all by text?
The Festival of Cars sounds awesome. I have always loved beautiful cars. And the Woodward Dream Cruise sounds like a bucket list event.

High Sierra - Bogart w/ Ida Lupino was quite a combination

Watched Ghost just the other day, one of those movies that you watch whenever it's on for some reason, just something about it that appeals ..... Demi Moore maybe? Nah, it's just a good film. Invasion of the Body Snatchers ......... several versions.

The kids here "cruise" downtown, not in cars though (as I mentioned it's a very small downtown). They walk the main drag, scoping out the tourists their age, then head down to the beach (to scope out the teenage tourists).
And in a related ridiculous bit of local news, a tourist visiting a beach town not too far from here, had to be rescued from the waters of Lake Michigan.....she walked off the lighthouse pier because she was too busy texting to pay attention to where she was walking!
Good thing it was the lake and not the ocean...because there are deadly things lurking beneath those ocean waves....

What an embarrassing accident to have! Poor woman. But I hope she learned a lesson. Something tells me, though, she was probably tweeting about her accident as soon as she found a dry cell phone.
Nice to hear that kids "cruise" on foot, Gams. Would be very enjoyable, even now, to take a walk with your friends, and chat.
I heard just a bit of the main theme from "Jaws" this morning. Yes, I actually tensed up a bit. Isn't it funny, the reaction that music evokes?

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Oh-my-god, that makes me laugh...because my co-worker, the movie buff (I always think you two should get together and talk old movies), had a lunch box last year - one of those "retro" things - with scenes from "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" on it.

Good one, Kat. Beautiful cinematography.
"Lady Sings The Blues" is one of the most impressive screen debuts I can think of. Diana Ross was fantastic. Good movie, but sad.
