In reply to Great blog as always, Ramona.

Another "Love, Actually" fan! I might have known. . .

I'll look for "The Legend of 1900" I haven't heard about it but if you recommend it, I know I'll like it.

Thanks.

Great blog as always, Ramona.

Great blog as always, Ramona. I could comment on all the posts, but I will just say that "Love Actually" is at LEAST an annual viewing Chez moi. Although it is a Christmas movie, I love it so much I watch it any time I need a little bucking up.

Is it decent to lust after all the men in one movie? Either way, I am guilty. I love every minute of that movie.

But since I am on movies, I just want to recommend one that most people have never heard of:

THE LEGEND OF 1900

It is GREAT! Black & White, with fantastic music and a wonderful story. I streamed it on Netflix -- you should too!

Ha! My daughter loved Roger

Ha! My daughter loved Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend and Keith Moon (The Who) and Mick Jagger. Those were NOT movie star faces!

But my youngest daughter was an Andy Gibb fan. He was cute!

Oh! Do not weep, my Yooper friend! Although you and I may not see eye to eye on ACK-tors, you would have a marvelous conversation and meeting of the minds with my daughter, who shares your appreciation for the English brand. There's a whole list of 'em she loves...Alan Rickman easily comes to mind, as does Tim Curry (must be the voice).....and also she has some fascination with Leslie Howard, even though he's been dead for many decades. I gave up trying to figure out her choices when she was fourteen and fell in love with Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees.

Flower! Our first falling out. I could just cry over this. . .

(I love Tommy Lee Jones as an actor but I do prefer those girlie-looking men. All of my favorites when I was young turned out to be gay: Farley Granger, Tab Hunter, Rock Hudson, and maybe even Tyrone Power. Never liked Bogart or Wayne or any of those guys who looked like they'd been out in the desert too long. I did like Robert Mitchum, though. And Alan Ladd.)

So, that's Colin Firth,

So, that's Colin Firth, eh?

Meh.

He has girl hair.

He's okay, I s'pose, but he ain't no Tommy Lee Jones.

Your list of Brits is pretty

Your list of Brits is pretty much my list--except for Oliver Reed. Never was a big fan. I would add Lawrence Olivier as Heathcliff. Alan Bates was a sexy devil, for sure. And Richard Burton in his prime.

Puttin' in a plug for one of my all time favorite Feel Good movies, "Love, Actually". Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Alan Rickman (What IS there about that man?), Hugh Grant--all in the same movie along with the INCOMPARABLE Emma Thompson. And Bill Nighy, too. Pure heaven.

Okay, can I admit this? I

Okay, can I admit this? I used this pic as my wallpaper for a while. Oh. Yeah.

OMG, Oliver Reed. He

OMG, Oliver Reed. He was...yum. Black hair, blue eyes, and brooding. Who could ask for more?

Gary Oldman, when young, was gorgeous too, but in a different way. Give me a boy who has both those qualities, and i'm his for life.

It's the Celts. Welsh,

It's the Celts. Welsh, Irish, Scots.... They are still a little wild. :)

I liked the Bridget Jones Darcy as well. And the fight. But Mr. Darcy is what I remember Firth first for.
