Since it's February, I asked the shops to share their favorite love story movies.
"When Harry Met Sally - I adore this movie. From the witty dialog to the
obnoxious friends, it is one of those perfect movies. You want them to
work it out even though neither of them are perfect people, they are
perfect together. Not only is it one of the best one liner movies ever,
but I have never been able to look a man named Sheldon in the eyes
since I saw it. I just hear, "Do me Sheldon. Ride me Sheldon." It
really doesn't work. I can never see Pecan Pie on a menu or at a holiday
dinner without doing Billy Crystal's voice in the Met saying
"Peeeecaaan Piiiiiiiie". Humor and love, nothing better."

I
love this movie. Why, I'm not really sure. But then I watch it and it's
just so obvious that this is a great little movie. It's sweet, sad,
funny, a little heartbreaking in places but leaves you in a
feel good mood by the end. The characters are quirky, fun and likable.
Except for her husband Early who is just terrible but is played so well
by Jeremy Sisto. Another favorite here is Nathan Fillion as her doctor.
The
only side effect of this movie, I feel the need to bake pies! I love
how she creates the pies in her mind around what's happening in her
life. The colors in this movie are beautiful especially the pies. So
vivid and lively. If you haven't seen this yet go watch it now! You
won't be sorry.
Click here for some of the recipes for the pies made in the movie.

5.

6. Had a 20-day shoot.
Haven't seen this one :( added to the TBW list
ReplyDeleteI never even heard of this. Must at to the list
ReplyDeleteI liked the movie waitress. It was funny. As for when Harry met Sally... I never watched it. You always hear about the famous scene but I haven't watched it.
ReplyDeleteI watched bits and pieces of it but I wasn't thrilled with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the chandelier earrings! Yes, when Harry Met Sally is a classic! I never saw Waitress. Is that the girl from Felicity?
ReplyDeleteHow have I missed this movie? I will look for it...
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before. Looks hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about this film for the last two weeks(ish)!! I have been looking to buy it from anyone's '$5 movie bin'. Nathan Fillion is so funny in this film, and Keri Russell is brilliant. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get it online. I am especially awed at the 20-day shoot trivia! Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI adore WAITRESS.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant performance by Russell

I have seen this and I thought Keri Russell is very good, in a nice romantic movie.
