Favorite Movie Last Night

For some time I've been wanting to watch a movie I hadn't seen in a number of years. Well last night was my night. With notifications done at a reasonable time, I went to the television and though I was late finding it, I saw most of the movie. From the first time I saw Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, it's been a favorite. This black and white film features Jimmy Stewart in the leading role, Claude Rains, and Harry Carry. Jean Arthur plays Saunders, Jefferson Smith's able secretary, and Thomas Mitchell plays Diz, a reporter. It was on Turner Classic, so it was without commercials which would have detracted immensely from this wonderful film. If you have never seen this movie, I hope you will give it a watch the next time it comes available. Thanks for reading.

I'm sure my husband has seen it before as he loves the classics too. I watched one recently since we were having our cable tv turned off and one was saved from last year. It was 27 dresses. I wanted to watch it a second time but it was too late already. If you like new movies, that's a good one too and of a similar vein to 'how to lose a guy in 10 days' if you ever saw that one.

@MarshaMusselman 27 dresses, not my cup of tea.

I haven't seen that one, or heard of 27 Dresses. I will need to watch for it.

It was on television, so I hope you're able to find it. Have you never seen it?

I recall this movie. One of Stewart's better ones and Jean Arthur was so cute. I always enjoy Claude Rain's voice.

I love the scene when Jean Arthur and Diz are in the restaurant and she's drunk and decides to marry Diz. Then there's the scene when she finds Jimmy Stewart at the Lincoln Memorial ready to give up. It's such a great movie.

I think I saw that one many years ago. An old movie. I get in moods for a certain movie, but sometimes I just cannot find it anywhere. I usually fond something to watch.

It's been a long time since I saw this one. I was sad it was already started, but I saw most of it.

@just4him I get that way also. I think we all do. And it bothers me when a movie pops in my mind and I have no way of watching it. But then when I do find it I am no longer in the mood for it.

@inertia4 I don't have that problem because I've been wanting to watch the movie for a long time, not just the one that was on a couple nights ago, but any movie I want to see and it isn't available on Netflix and I just need to wait until I see it available.
