But as people are different we love films for different reasons. When I read your description of it I realize I haven't thought much of that aspect of the movie. Maybe it's time to watch it again?<br /><br />Now Voyager is music in my ears! I think it must be 25 years since I saw it and I can't say I remember much of the film itself apart from the music. I may have been too young to get it but I've had a record of the brilliant Max Steiner score ever since my early teens. It's a brilliant score but I know Bette didn't like it.<br /><br />A Patch Of Blue I haven't seen.Jonas Nordinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065342609209811314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-65569416725704487842010-02-22T00:47:42.346-05:002010-02-22T00:47:42.346-05:00I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, bu...I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, but have always wanted to. I really like your reason for watching this film because I have been feeling similarly, and now I have more of an incentive to go out and rent it.

Now Voyager is one of Bette's masterworks and her transformation and struggles are so beautifully written and played. a great film but the ONE thing that is very hard to handle for me is the whole cigarette thing. i just do NOT find that at all romantic, longingly staring into each others eyes through this wicked cloud of smoke. i try to put myself in the times it was made and it doesnt bug me as much. regardless i sure wouldnt laugh at it or mock it in a theater. <br />Patch of Blue is a wonderful ultimtately uplifting film. i defy anyone to start watching it and not be totally engrossed in those characters and that story. a brilliant piece of acting my Sydney Poitier. <br /><br />personally my "hope" film is Shawshank Redemption. i love that movie, seen it so many times i can play it in my head! but when the times are a weighing down on me, i use it as a little reminder not to give up!<br />i also love to watch (and read) the Fountainhead because it reminds me that i must be true to myself.<br /><br />Quelle i'm sorry you had a such a struggle to get where you are but remember all those obstacles that you overcame helped make you who you are today. so i guess if you like who you are then they are partially to thank for it. if you dont like who you are, then ummm, just tell me to shut the hell up ;)Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-59919545692578708852010-02-19T22:23:56.234-05:002010-02-19T22:23:56.234-05:00I'm a big fan of all three of these movies.

I've always loved that scene where Audrey Hepburn crawls in through the window to curl up next to George Peppard ...Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-29774563986875965552010-02-19T21:12:30.448-05:002010-02-19T21:12:30.448-05:00Boston is a weird place.

Now it's very liberal with vestiges of it's Puritanical past! <br /><br />Kate - Isn't the thought of starting a completely new life intoxicating? My only thing is I wouldn't want to give up the people in my life. Otherwise, a life makeover would be welcome.<br /><br /><br />Mercurie - The great thing about movies is that they feed various needs. I know sometimes I like to watch fluff to destress and sometimes my soul craves something meatier!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-72821478806291486552010-02-19T20:40:22.175-05:002010-02-19T20:40:22.175-05:00I love Now, Voyager, even if I am as far removed f...I love Now, Voyager, even if I am as far removed from Boston as one can get. I can't see how anyone with any taste or dignity could mock that film. And I do think all of us to one degree or another wish we could be like Holly Golightly and transform ourselves into a whole new person.<br /><br />I have to admit that I also use movies to work through issues, although being a guy it usually means burning up pent up aggression by watching action movies. Of course, being who I am, these are either classic action films (The Great Escape, The Seven Samurai) or overly intellectual ones (V for Vendetta or Fight Club)!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-5543784953229231462010-02-19T19:58:37.824-05:002010-02-19T19:58:37.824-05:00Fantastic post, Raquelle!

And I so envy Holly Golightly.. I'd love to take on a whole new persona and shed the 'old' me.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.com
