Curled up on the couch reading . . .<br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - I had trouble picking any at first, but once I did, it was hard to stop at five. <br /><br /><b>Alice</b> - That would be such a treat. I'd love to visit with so many of the characters from all the films.<br /><br /><b>Suey</b> - Haha! I bet we would have a very similar talk with her indeed.<br /><br /><b>Lulu</b> - Me too!

It just has to have me in it. :-) <br /><br /><b>Eagle Dawg</b> - I may have to come up for a visit just to take a tour so I can see the house. <br /><br />I'd love to have you join me in the Beauty and the Beast library, Nicole. You can read me the titles from up high. ;-)<br /><br /><b>Koolaidmom</b> - Haha! Yes, I'd definitely need a better metabolism to keep up with those hobbits. <br /><br />The time period that Jane Austen lived in and wrote about certainly has its drawbacks. I have to say though, I sure loved their dresses.<br /><br /><b>Nat</b> - Goonies is a good one. :-) I liked that one too when I was younger. <br /><br />The Ocean's Eleven film and the follow-ups were fun movies. I wouldn't mind hanging with those guys either. :-)<br /><br /><b>Yvonne</b> - I can watch that movie over and over again, never getting tired of it. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-82389420040530879662009-06-22T23:01:39.674-07:002009-06-22T23:01:39.674-07:00Violet - Of course! :-) The more recent version ...<b>Violet</b> - Of course! :-) The more recent version of Pride and Prejudice does have some beautiful scenery though; I have to give it credit for that.<br /><br /><b>Stacy</b> - I enjoyed the Keira Knightley version too. It works well for those P&P cravings when time is short. :-)<br /><br /><b>Clea</b> - Yes, it was time for them to go, but, oh so sad. They're such an interesting race. I would love to have been able to immerse myself in the elven culture. Of course, I still can, can't I? Considering their fictional and there are plenty of books in which I can do that. :-) How easy it is to think of them being real though!<br /><br /><b>Kristie</b> - Wouldn't it be fun? And there were some good things about the '50's.<br /><br /><b>Florinda</b> - Mama Mia would be good too. Living on an island would be perfect.<br /><br />New Zealand is so beautiful, isn't it? A coworker of mine just moved there to be with her long-time boyfriend. I'm a bit envious, I admit. <br /><br />I was telling my husband that too about the TV shows when I was thinking up movies. I could easily name TV shows. You know, I've never really watched Gilmore Girls. I've seen maybe two episodes.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-20231867418330394652009-06-22T21:41:26.567-07:002009-06-22T21:41:26.567-07:00Love the Hobbits too!
