Good Nights 'n Good Movies

It's been a pretty laid back week (even though the fiance and I managed to get ourselves out for a couple of joggin' sessions) and the fiance and I have spent quite a few pleasant nights watching movies and cuddling with hot drinks!

One of the movies we checked out from the library was "Field of Dreams" with Kevin Costner. I know it's something of a classic but I had never seen it and the fiance had never watched it all the way through.

We really enjoyed it and I cried like a baby at the end! I'm a "Daddy's little girl" and that night we had selected the daddy/daughter dance for our wedding reception so I was primed for a cryin' session ;o) Not to mention my attachment to baseball :o)

Another movie we got to enjoy this week was "The Grapes of Wrath" with Henry Fonda.

The fiance and I both enjoy Steinbeck novels but neither of us have read The Grapes of Wrath yet-but after seeing the movie we've put the book on our to-do list! The book/movie follows a family of dust bowl sharecroppers in their move to California in search of work. While a bit of a tragedy their is humor and a dose of American pride.

The fiance and I are Henry Fonda fans-although the movie we know him best from is decidedly different from "The Grapes of Wrath" - "Yours, Mine, and Ours" with Lucille Ball!

My mom introduced me to "Yours, Mine, and Ours" when I was young and I can accept no substitutes or remakes. Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball make a hilarious team and you can't beat a flock of adolescents spikin' Lucy's drink with a smorgasbord of alcohols!

 Check 'em out and enjoy ;o)
