My friend Amy posted in her blog her top 3 movies ever. One of those movies made me want to revisit the time in my life when I could watch a movie over and over and over again.
Like Amy, I LOVED Girls Just Want to Have Fun. I guess I most love me some SJP :)
And then 2 nights ago when I was checking what was on HBO I saw it and froze...Little Women!!!
I watched that back in 1994 and have seen it 20 times since (most of which were that same year). I hadn't seen it in years....so I DVR'd my old friend and sat down and watched it. Tears still ran down my face at the same times they used to. And I still hate Amy and wish Jo had married Laurie (ok, I should say I probably say the movie 1/2 the movie 40 times and the whole movie 20...when Jo denies Laurie , I just turned the movie off. I secretly thought each time I played it, this time it might be different.)
I can still remember most of the lines and and background music was so soothing. The cast is Susan Sarandon, Christian Bale, Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes...the list goes on.
Here is a link to a clip for those that are a bit hazy on the details!
(Side note: I also loved all of Louisa May Alcott's books. I am lucky enough to have my grandmother's copy from when she was a girl. Published in 1911...3 years before she was born)

I gotta admit, I have not seen Little Women and I am quite surprised that I never did because I am a Winona Ryder fan (or at least used to be, I have not seen her in anything lately has she dropped off the face of the earth??)
So I am going to have to rent this one someday. Thanks for the suggestion!
