Becoming something of a classic film buff
Viewing one notable movie is never enough
Seeing Brando and an all-star cast is a dream
“The Godfather” brings intensity to the screen
Traveling back to witness world history, long past
“Schindler’s List” fills emotions that forever last
Walking with Bogart and Bergman once more
“Casablanca” presents a story that will soar
Rising again on an American southern plantation
“Gone with the Wind” makes Gable a sensation
Growing up along the magical yellow brick road
“The Wizard of Oz” sings with music, never old
Filling an appetite for storytelling that is the best
Watching skillful actors in plots fulfilling the test
Comparing life to a box of chocolates, he imparts
“Forrest Gump” offers a look at a life never tart
Listening to how music makes the hills come alive
“The Sound of Music” still stirs visions that thrive
Arriving on screen come Darth Vader and lots more
The original “Star Wars” brings new hope that soars
Making a classic musical with singing and dancing
“Singin’ in the Rain” presents Gene Kelly’s prancing
Feeling comfortable with a warm, real story to know
“It’s a Wonderful Life” sends an angel to save a soul
Finding time for viewing one more film tonight
Eager to build more movie memories this night
Do you have any favorite films that you would enjoy watching again? The above films are just a tiny taste of ones that I would enjoy watching again (hmm, I think that I already have).
Nicely put together. Brought some memories of films I use to enjoy. Among my favourites are “An affair to Remember”,
“Waterloo Bridge”, “The greatest show on earth”, “Madame X” and lots more.

Crissy, I am sorry for being late in noting your comment. I’ve been struggling a bit oin getting everything here at home back to “normal.” Thanks so much for sharing your favorite films. I have seen the “An Affair to Remember” and “Greatest Show on Earth” as well.

No need to apologise Richard. I know life gets busy. I’ve been away for a few days and I have a lot of catching up to do.
Have a blessed week.

I confess that I’m far from a film buff. In fact, I’m not sure when I last saw a movie in a theater; it might have been The King’s Speech. On the other hand, I loved David Lean films: Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago. Only later did I learn a word that helps to explain their appeal: cinematography!

Linda, I appreciate your feedback. It has been quite some time since I have seen film in a theater. Any more, my film viewing has been at home (especially on TCM).

I’ve watched “Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte” numerous times–not just for the scary parts, or because her cousin and the doctor get their just desserts…but because as I got older, I saw what a terribly sad and tragic story it was. Fabulous movie.

Zelda, thanks for sharing. I have never seen this film, but I have seen Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”

I prefer “Hush, Hush…” “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” is so hateful and violent, I can’t enjoy it.

I agree with your assessment of this other film. I watched it once, but probably never again.
