the most tender place in my heart is for strangers

The Shop Around the Corner. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. My professor is right; this one IS immeasurably better than its remake (You’ve Got Mail). Also James Stewart is in it. This automatically guarantees at least a few squees.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I think the author of our textbook is guilty of negligence when it comes to describing the end. Jeff Smith’s success does not, as he claims, depend upon Jim Taylor’s succumbing to his better nature. Honestly.

Also, I love this movie.

Stagecoach. Er, what?

Citizen Kane. Er, what? I didn’t think the plot was all that interesting, to be honest, but the cinematography was stunningly cool. Especially the part in the beginning where the camera’s looking at a window from the outside, and then suddenly the window’s the same but we’re looking out from inside.

A High Wind in Jamaica. This is, like, the most pointless pirate movie ever. How one manages to make a BORING movie about a bunch of kids let loose on a pirate ship I do not know. But it is apparently possible.

Am also watching Samurai Champloo. Jin is my favorite. (No, snowqueenofhoth, not that Jin. Sorry.)

Yes! I knew someone, someday, would agree with me! Kate and I have fought about this. Thank you very much :)

*g* I had a feeling I'd hear this.

it is true, Fiona. I don't like The Shop Around the Corner, which is very sad as I love Jimmy Stewart. I stick to my love of You've Got Mail. not that this precludes me from liking others - have you seen In the Good old Summertime? this is a 1949 remake that has Judy Garland and Van Johnson. I like it muchly. although when it comes down to it they are all adaptations of a play originally performed in German.
