A Star Is Born 1954
Watched in honor of Judy's 100th birthday. ❤️ This is the only version I've seen of A Star is Born, but it's impossible for me to imagine anyone surpassing Judy's phenomenal performance. She pours her entire heart and soul into the role of Vicki. "The Man That Got Away" and "Born in a Trunk" were favorites for me, along with her incredible performance of "Someone At Last" for Norman in their living room. She's simply spellbinding, and I was completely…

Hold Your Man 1933
This started off so wonderful and then lost its steam. While that was disappointing, what's good is really good, so I'd watch it all over again in a heartbeat.

I'm laughing to myself at how riveted I was by this one. I say that because I wrote off swashbuckler/pirate movies for ages thinking they weren't my thing. Well, turns out I could possibly be a swashbuckler fan after all. At least when it come to this movie and the marvelous Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. Olivia de Havilland, gosh she was beautiful. I loved her spirited performance as Arabella and her chemistry with Flynn was completely off the charts. And Flynn, well, he was simply born to play these parts really. It's no surprise he's magnificent here.
