Movie time


In no particular order, some of Deb's favorite movies:

"True Grit" -- She was raised with horses and she loved Westerns, and she agreed with me that John Wayne was underrated as an actor.

"Benny & Joon" -- Johnny Depp.

"Chocolat" -- Johnny Depp.

"Pirates of the Carribean" -- Orlando ... nah, just kidding. You know who.

"Lady and the Tramp" -- She loved Disney movies, including "Sleeping Beauty," "Bambi" and "Cinderella," but she especially loved this one because of the Siamese cats.

"Dracula" -- The original Bela Lugosi one.
North By Northwest, Rope and Rear Window -- She loved Hitchcock.

But her all-time, beyond-any-doubt favorite movies?
First, The Wizard of Oz. I think she really wanted to be Judy Garland when she grew up.

But most of all, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." When we took a trip to L.A., she insisted we go to Rodeo Drive, and when we found out there was a cafe in front of the Tiffany's there, she further insisted we eat there. We had $15 salads, so she could say she had brunch at Tiffany's.

What's to explain? The heroine is an independent, free-spirited romantic with a cat. That's my Deb. If they made a movie about her life, it's just too bad Audrey Hepburn isn't around to be in it.
