I don't really care how much the latest superhero film took at the box office, although I'd probably know if you asked me. When I watch a film the main thing I am looking for is a good story. I like it when I look up at the big screen and can see a part of me staring back at me. More than anything, I am still looking for Jimmy Stewart and Jack Lemmon and Billy Wilder in every film I see.

I wish there were more films like The Apartment
There is nothing more wonderful than watching The Apartment. I watched this with someone recently and was completely jealous that she got to see it for the first time. I want that experience again. I wonder if there'll ever be another film as perfect as this, it's hard to imagine.
I actually still haven't seen this one yet -- I do have it on DVD so I should probably watch it soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat film. I'm shocked that you've never seen it Kate! Wow.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same jealousy toward people who are watching The Awful Truth for the first time.
I remember the first time that I saw The Apartment.It was Christmas Eve and I went to the video club (couple years ago) and got Love Actually and The Apartment.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see Love Actually because it was a Christmas movie but I didn't know anything about the other film.
Imagine my suprise when it turned out to be not just a great movie but also a Xmas movie too!
I must agree with Anna..it really felt like magic!!
