I am sitting beside a window covered in a drenching bout of raindrops. The wind is blowing, and it is cold for April. Tomorrow is forecast to be mainly in the mid-40s. Our local weather forecaster reported eleven days out of the past fourteen have been overcast or rainy. Bah! It is a good weekend to watch a few movies.
Two oldies are musicals. There is something about the musical genre that always can cheer me up. The first is, of course, Singin' in the Rain. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds, who I loved in everything she starred in.
The second musical is also a favorite: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I can sing most of the songs from both musicals. Although I don't know all of the words, I'm a ringer on the first verses and choruses.
Third, I've chosen Green Card. There are so many reasons to watch this movie: the lovely and talented Andie MacDowall, the surprisingly endearing Gerard Depardieu, the breathtaking setting of an indoor apartment garden and rooftop, and a good story with a surprise ending. This movie is one of my favorites from the late 80's/90's era of sweet romantic comedies.
Enjoy this trio of oldies.
Amo esa película. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias por el comentario. Estas tres películas son las favoritas de mucha gente. Mi esposo y yo volvimos a ver Green Card anoche. Es buenísima, y me encanta el invernadero del jardín del apartamento de la protagonista. (Thanks for the comment. These three are favorites of quite a few people. My husband and I watched Green Card again just last night. It is so good, and I just adore the garden conservatory in the apartment of the heroine.)
DeleteI donno Green Card but I know the actors you mentioned in it. The other 2 I know. My step-grandfather used to watch them both a lot! :-D
ReplyDeleteThe first two are definitely oldies. I've watched them all my life. Seven brides for Seven brothers has always been one I will watch when I need cheering up. I love the songs in both musicals. Green Card is great. If you have a chance watch it.
DeleteThose musicals always hit the spot, and "Singin' in the Rain" is such a classic—it’s impossible not to smile. "Green Card" is a nice twist too, with that charming romance and stunning setting. Definitely a solid mix for a cozy weekend indoors.
ReplyDeleteI love oldies, and wish today's movies and television shows were a little more careful of their words and scenes.
DeleteI love cinematic classics!
