I can't believe it's already been another month! Can 2011 slow down a little bit please?? As KM mentioned all five of us were finally able to reunite after spending almost 5 months apart. And as she mentioned it was such a great weekend and I def. missed everyone!!

I apparently had a lot of time this month because I ended up watching more oldies but goodies than I have for the past two posts. This month I watched: The Big Sleep(Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall; 1946), Adam's Rib(Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy; 1949), An American in Paris(Gene Kelly; 1951), Paris When it Sizzles(Audrey Hepburn; 1964), How to Steal a Million(Audrey Hepburn; 1966), To Have and Have Not(Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall; 1944), Woman of the Year(Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy; 1942), Meet Me in St. Louis(Judy Garland; 1944), The Navigator(Buster Keaton; 1924), and Easter Parade(Judy Garland; 1948). I clearly need a full time job.

Anywhosers! My top two for this month are Adam's Rib with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy (1949) and The Navigator with Buster Keaton (1924). As you can tell there is a 25 year difference between the two, so the film quality had HUGE differences. The Navigator is a black and white silent movie. This is the first silent I've ever watched from beginning to end and it was a lot better than I thought. It had it's moments where I wished there were some talking, but it was really funny. Buster Keaton and Kathryn McGuire are spoiled rich people who end up trapped on a ship that was sent off the dock with no one on it to sink. Doesn't sound overly interesting, especially as a silent movie...but I definitely recommend it!

My second fav movie of the month was Adam's Rib. Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy play a married couple. Both of them are lawyers and they are assigned the same case, but against each other. It was interesting to see how they struggle with winning the case and keeping their marriage strong. I don't want to give anything away, but as a hopeless romantic, I really liked the ending.

Have you watched any old movies this month? What have you seen?
