Snuggled in and flickin'
Flickin'--as in watching movies. That should be a slang term, I do say. Maybe it will catch on.
Anyway, taking our own sccworlds.com advice from yesterday, movies were borrowed from the library in anticipation for today's snow day! We aren't quite snowed in, but we can pretend.
There is a fire going and blankets on the couch. Toasty.
Here's what we borrowed from the library: The Irish R.M., All Creatures Great and Small, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Father Goose.
The Irish R.M. is a mini-series from the 80's about an English Resident Magistrate who goes to Ireland to become a judge, set at the turn of the century. It's funny and the scenery and costumes are gorgeous.
All Creatures Great and Small is another series based on the James Herriot books about a veterinary practice. It's comical and just plain relaxing to watch. One of the stars, Peter Davison, was also Doctor Who from 1981 to 1984--I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
I got Breakfast at Tiffany's just because Audrey Hepburn is so timeless and elegant. Just love her in any movie. I've already seen this, but it's worth watching over and over.
Father Goose is a romantic comedy starring a "seasoned" Cary Grant at about 60 years old. It's set during WWII when Grant runs across a frenchwoman and seven schoolgirls stranded on an island. I don't remember this movie to be all that spectacular, but hey, Cary Grant. I thought I would watch it again. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention the first time.
I hope you were able to stock up on good movies for some good flickin'!
