a favorite movie.

my apologies for the heavy weekend posts. who does that on the weekend?? beaktweets does, i guess. for today we have a much lighter, more trivial post :) enjoy.

The other night when Chris was out, I gave myself a pedicure and watched The American President. Even though I own it, when I saw it on Netflix Watch Instantly, I got all giddy. I have literally seen this movie more times than I can count. I'm not even sure why I love it so much, but I really, really do. It's my favorite movie, I think.

Except wait,
I think I like You've Got Mail even better. I've seen that one probably a hundred times. It's my favorite movie to put on in the background, which I did a lot in college. Kathleen Kelly is the sweetest character. I want to be her when I grow up- living in NYC, owning a children's bookshop and being the Storybook Lady. Oh, it would be nice.

How about you? What's your favorite move?

I have a small obsession with "You've Got Mail". Anytime I see it is on television, I plop down and watch it. I also despise long movies but I can watch "The Sound of Music" in it's entirety over and over again.

You've Got Mail is still one of my top favorites. This is such a classic. Rarely do I want to repeat movies, but this one is an exception! I will never forget the first time we saw it at the theaters for your birthday near North Point Mall.

I JUST watched The American President on netflix instant play last week, that's so funny! Also love You've Got Mail. Other favorites include Thomas Crown Affair (the Pierce Brosnan/Rene Russo version) and Someone Like You.

My high school government teacher made us watch the American President in class. I still don't understand how that taught us anything about gov't, but we all loved it anyway. It's such a sweet story, and Annette Benning is my hero :)

My favorite movie is, no doubt, 'You've got mail', which was the reason I found your blog, when looking for a picture of sharpened pencils. I love it and I can't wait to fly from Brazil to New York and take the tour you showed us!!!
