Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders or Paint Your Wagon, just to hear Lee Marvin sing Wandering Star at the end.

It is occasionally on Turner Classics, and another one of the old time TV channels. I forget which one. Usually around Halloween. I had not seen it for years, and then last year, it was on a lot.
I did break down and buy the DVD.
Oh, I forgot, another Christmas one which is very rarely on tv: A Pocketful of Miracles with Bette Davis, Glenn Ford and Hope Lange, and Peter Falk...
I love it. A real 'feel good' movie. Again, I had to search for it and bought the DVD. It was hard to find.
Forgot about The American President.. love it..
Paint your Wagon--another forgotten one.. again, hardly ever on TV....
I love the old movies... all real classics...
Netfix did have Bell, Book, and Candle. I put it at the top of my queue, so it should be here tomorrow. Will have to check on Zulu, too.

ahhh, E.T! that's a really good movie!
i liked the Star Wars movies, until they (along with The Lord of the Ring movies/trilogy) were being played pretty much night after night, on rotation -- in my 'living situation' at that time. so i just really cannot watch those movies any more. it's truly a shame, because they're very good movies.

oh my! a great list of very good movies!
i just watched Donovan's Reef again earlier this week! great movie! but then, i love all John Wayne movies.
i always watch White Christmas, several times or more, during the Christmas season. for me, i must watch Easter Parade with Fred Astaire and Judy Garland on Easter.

now i thought you might be talking about a different The Avengers, the tv series from the 1960's. i loved that tv series, still do!
i hadn't heard about The Avengers movies you mention. they sound interesting!
awww..........it's so cute when kittens react like that to things they see on a tv show or movie!

ahhhh, yes! i remember that, from some thread or another here at TCS from a ways back.Pretty much most of the 90s disaster flicksI could probably recite every line from "Independence Day". "Sorority Boys" and "While You Were Sleeping" are another two that I've watched over and over and over, every night sometimes!

ahhh......The American President! really good movie!
Bell, Book, and Candle -- excellent movie! The Ghost and Mrs. Muir -- truly a great movie! To Sir, With Love -- love that movie, but then i love all Sidney Poitier movies.
i also like The Goodbye Girl enough to watch it every so often.

yes, the Andy Hardy movies with Mickey Rooney!
Life with Father, Mr. Blanding Builds His Dreamhouse, The Lady Vanishes -- all truly great movies!
Arsenic and Old Lace......just an incredible movie! the comedy of it, the dark sides of the story, and i'm always sitting at the edge of my seat when watching it! and that brings to my mind another great Cary Grant movie, where he's so very funny -- Bringing Up Baby.

White Christmas -- a truly great movie, and one i watch at least several times every Christmas season!
I'm not a big movie person; but if I like one, I'll watch it a bunch of times.
Some favorites: White Christmas (I might just know this one by heart), Sweet Home Alabama, The Prince & Me, Little Women, Mona Lisa Smile, Ella Enchanted and National Treasure.
and Little Women, which is a very good movie!
oh, i love the National Treasure movies! have you seen any of The Librarian movies? they're really good too!

I just got it from Netflix and wasn't impressed. It was fun to look at the old clothes, makeup, and cars, though. I wonder now if there was a book of the same name that my friends got so interested in.all this talk of Bell, Book, and Candle has me thinking i'll watch it again very soon. really a great movie!

no book of the same name, that i found while searching online. but i did learn that Bell, Book, and Candle was based on the successful Broadway play by John Van Druten.
