It’s A Wonderful Life, Planes, Trains and Automobiles or North By Northwest. All starting soon. Which to watch now and which to record for later?
North by Northeast is one of my favorite films.
Have you seen them all? Choose one you have not seen.
I love P,T, and A, but it’s more of a Thanksgiving movie.
I’m also fond of North by Northwest, but I would choose Wonderful Life just cuz 'tis the season.
Let us know which you’ve chosen.
mmm
Watching PTA, recoding N by NW, passing on Wonderful because reasons.
Another vote for North by Northwest. It’s got one of my favorite Cary Grant movie lines ever.
> How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?
Hard pass on NbNW. I would watch PTA, just because I think I’ve hit my lifetime’s fill of IaWL.
Good choice. NbNW is the best movie of the three, but holidays call for PTA (even if it’s more a Thanksgiving movie).
I’m in the UK where we don’t have thanksgiving. PTA feels like a Xmas movie to us.
I hope one of those reasons is because it is a treacle-y movie that pretends to have an unremitting happy ending even though the main character is so desperately unhappy with his life that he is about to end it and leave his half dozen kids with a father or any financial support, and while the neighbors coming together to throw cash in a basket is a nice gesture, apparently none of these people have previously acknowledged how much of his hopes and dreams George Bailey has given up to run that shitty S&L to build cheap houses for the wage slaves that Mr. Potter still uses as replaceable fodder for his mills.

I’m always going with Hitchcock.
Merry Christmas!
(NBNW).
The answer is always Bad Santa.
Uncensored, or fornicate it.
Excellent choice all around.
You must get lost in the supermarket.
Practically every line between Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint is a gem. Her seduction of him on the train is breathtaking. My favorite line of his is:
Tell me. What do you do besides lure men to their doom on the 20th Century Limited?
But look here for a million brilliant quotes from the film. Thank you, Ernest Lehman.
(Oddly, my favorite line isn’t there. I’ll have to fix that.)
They left out my favorite: “He looked at me as if I had dandruff.”
My favorite is “You gentlemen aren’t REALLY trying to kill my son, are you?”
err… I mean North by Northwest. I live in the Northwest so I really have no excuse for screwing that up.
