While I know that it has been said (by Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail") "It is the source of all knowledge, the E Ching, the Godfather has all you need to know what to pack the gun or the Cannoli - leave the gun, take the Cannoli." I still found it to be a little bit of story and a lot of violence.

Gone With the Wind has enough action to keep you watching in the first half while the second half becomes more of a soap opera - it does have Clark Gable and in a small role Superman himself (George Reeves) so it can't be all bad.

I tend to lean more towards a film that is a bit more to the middle - I'm surprised Mia didn't think of this one.

Casablanca!

Love ya,

Most certainly GWTW for me, Mia!

It has just the right amount of action, drama, love interest...etc...

I really don't like people getting shot between the eyes of having their hand stuck to a bar with a knife! YUCK!

And I use imdb all the time!

We'll be watching a DVD and say "Who is that?"

So I'll run into the bedroom and pull up imdb and see who is in the cast! Lots of great info!

HUGGS!

Mia, thanks for the link - I don't know whether to say, "Here's Looking at you.kid" or "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship." :lol:

Love ya,

GWTW!

What are you thinking! I LIVE that life here and now - fifth generation. HONEY, it was a beautifully crafted epic about howa we survived the War of Northern Aggression! We hearah in the South lost the world as it should have been.

Godfather? WAAAAAY down the line.

My next was Casablanca of course - and 'We will always have Paris!'

Maybe the Tom Hanks movies - Sleepless in Seatle at the top - I cry at the end when he takes her hand!

Fargo for the skewed humor and 'apathy in the snow presentation.' Isn't Fargo consistantly the coldest place in the lower 48 states?

Maybe Fantasia next - for the audacity of combining animation with beauty in music, resulting in a EARLY animated masterpiece

Alice in Wonderland (first movie I ever saw)

And the usual Juila Roberts - once Pretty Woman was my favotite but now I like Erica Braunovich (sp?)

And then anything sci-fi - even the cheezy stuff - but the horror story 'Alien!'

And Kevin Bacon stuff, and Johnny Depp, and Catherine Zetta Jones (I identify with her - Weslh roots) and Angeline Joule (audacity of that woman is amazing!) and my birthday mate - Judy Garland in - of course - Wizard of Oz.

Then maybe the violent stuff - especially the three Spegetti Weasterns of Clint Easterwood.

OH OH OH - Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come? is that right... oh my

Anyway - Godfather was great - just not me.

Frankly, my dear (Mia), I don't give a d*mn! :P

I love the first Godfather movie, the second not so much, the third...boorrring.

GWTW, its a great story, but a little overlong for me. Love the costumes, though!

Every time I see that scene where she makes a dress out of the drapes, I start

laughing thinking about Carol Burnett;s hilarious parody. If it's on Youtube,

I hope someone posts a link. Its a comedy classic.

Thanks for the post Mia!

The part with all the dancing hippos and ostriches scared me half to death as a child. I had nightmares for years afterwords.

And GWTW is the single greatest movie in cinematic history. Clark Gable- so awesome.

Never saw Godfather though.

Well, it turns out I am different once again. I picked Godfather. I liked the whole trilogy, and I never did like Gone With the Wind. Casablanca takes both of them easily tho. My favorite is Love Actually. Pretty Woman and The American President remain two of my very favorites, also Dave. Donna has ~700 published DVDs and countless movies burned off the satellite service. Out of all of them, I have perhaps 30 that I really like and will watch repeatedly in our theatre. My choices are almost all romantic comedies (e.g. Two Weeks Notice, and several other Hugh Grant vehicles, Cary Grant, Doris Day, Renee Zellwegger...) I just never did like GWTW.

The comment about Clark Gable? Never did it for me, but I tease Donna that Pierce Brosnan could turn me straight, and she doesn't comment, knowing it could be true!

Oh Mia,

I really do love girly movies but the Godfather really is a classic I

would bring with me to my" desert island". I really am an odd one

I suppose :rolleyes: , Luv, viv :)

Since it's one or the other, Gone With the Wind. The first Godfather was the best of that franchise, and probably the best gangster movie. GWTW has it's flaws, the happy dedicated blacks, the mostly upstanding plantation owners (and slave owners remember). And certainly Scarlet turned into a tough broad when the need arose, but frankly, my dear whomever, (could't resist, everyone else used it) not at all a likeable person. Rhett was about the only one I could like; ahh, Clark Gable, the oldies are the goodies. No one in the Godfather was worth a dang, and I cleaned that up for the filters. I need one or persons to care about, good story line or not.

      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
