my read for women‘s history month…such a trailblazer—the 1st asian american actress to have a successful career and overcoming discrimination and racism—“…back then anna may wong was the 1st and only today thanks to her struggle she is the 1st of many.” #audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife

I think I missed the other two Oscar Nom list posts, so I‘ve done all three just now. Ive seen a total of 17, with 1963-1987 being my best at 10. But, the early years have some of my favorite movies ever - Gaslight, To Kill a Mockingbird, Captain Blood (OMG, Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, AND Olivia de Havilland?? HEAVEN!), Adventures of Robin Hood, and Philadelphia Story (KATE!!). This was fun @dabbe Thank you. #threelistthursday #tlt

dabbe YW! A wee trip down memory lane! GASLIGHT is one of my top faves of all time! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🎬🍿📽️ 1d

This was a good list! It was hard to pick favorites. I picked these because of good memories of watching them with friends in high school.
🩵 Broadcast News (I really like Albert Brooks, btw)
🩵 Dr. Strangelove
🩵 Barry Lyndon
One that I can't believe I still haven't seen:
🩵 M.A.S.H.

Thanks for the tag, @Eggs

Lesliereadsalot I saw 79/100. Favorites include Nashville(loved the music and the characters), Coming Home (which I saw at the movies 17 days in a row, obsessed would be putting it mildly) and Midnight Express (scared me to death). 1d

Amor4Libros I got 10 this time!! 😂 1d
shortsarahrose 29 - I was pretty good on ones from the 1960s/70s, but not the ‘80s 1d
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 1d
Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! Will do 🥰 1d
BooksandCoffee4Me 30% but how fun to be reminded of the movies “Heaven Can Wait” and “Goodbye Girl!” 💛 1d
BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot Wow! “Coming Home” was so intense — how did seeing it so many times in two weeks affect you emotionally? 1d
DGRachel LOL. I‘ve heard of a ton of these but have only watched 10. Clearly, I dislike Academy Award winners as much as I dislike fancy book award winners. 🤣🤣 1d
dabbe @melissajayne I adore ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. I've read the book numerous times, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 📽️🍿🎬 1d

dabbe @DGRachel You're in good company either way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 📽️🍿🎬 1d
Lesliereadsalot I really had been oblivious to the Vietnam War and after seeing Coming Home the first time, I couldn‘t believe the war was going on around me and I felt compelled to see it over and over. I didn‘t know anybody who went to Vietnam, my parents never discussed it, it was so foreign to me. I‘ve never before or since felt so intensely about a movie. Totally blew me away! @BooksandCoffee4Me 1d
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot Thanks for sharing that. I was oblivious, too, and still have so much to learn about that tumultuous period. I never saw COMING HOME (added to my TBW list now) but BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY at least made me more aware. That and GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM. The humor helped. 😊 1d
BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot @dabbe I‘ve made a point of sincerely thanking veterans for serving. Saw a biker wearing a Viet Nam Vet jacket and stopped where he was and thanked him. He teared up and looked so surprised. They received so little when they returned. It shouldn‘t have taken a decade or two to thank them with the wall. I was in middle school during the war and now have known many Nam vets. Most do not want to share their stories. 1d
dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me They bravely did their job and received nothing but hatred from most of us. Shameful. 😞 1d
Lesliereadsalot Very shameful! Our boys did not belong there. I‘ve seen all the Vietnam movies but Coming Home made the biggest impression as it‘s about the soldiers when they got back. You have to imagine what it was like for them and it‘s not a pretty picture. You guys are very thoughtful! @dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me 🩷🩷 24h

peaKnit 26! I have rewatched All The President‘s Men so many times I should count it twice! :) and on Golden Pond, such sweet memories watching this one. 🥰 20h
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot So are you! 🩵💙🩵 19h
dabbe @BookmarkTavern YW! 😘 19h
dabbe @peaKnit #ditto feelings on both of your choices. I've just reread and rewatched ALL THE PRESIDENT'S to bring me comfort in this chaotic mess of a country we're currently living in. As @AmyG put it, Goldberg is our Woodward & Bernstein. 👊🏻 19h
peaKnit Amen! 10h

Trashcanman @jen_the_scribe Hi Jenny! Yes, it‘s been a few years. It‘s nice to hear from you. How have you been? What‘s new? I left instagram because of the state of affairs. It‘s been nice reconnecting with everyone. I hope you‘re well. 2d
jen_the_scribe @Trashcanman Everything is good on my end, but I completely understand needing to step away from social media. I haven‘t been on IG much these days either. I‘ve been sticking to Litsy and Substack, but mostly trying to limit screens altogether. How‘s everything with you? 2d
quietlycuriouskate It's good to see you again! 2d
Bklover Welcome back!!!! It‘s so nice to see you back again! Hope family is well and happy and most importantly hope you are well and happy! Beautiful photo!💛💛💛. George, you made my day! (edited) 2d

Trashcanman @LeahBergen Thank you 😊 2d
Trashcanman @TheBookHippie I have a Sombrero de Charro. But I look ridiculous in it. My mustache isn‘t thick enough. lol 2d
Trashcanman @quietlycuriouskate Likewise! How are things over there pond? I hope you‘ve been well. What‘s new? 2d
Trashcanman @jen_the_scribe I don‘t even know where to start. Things with me are…better. Limited in a way but better. I stopped taking all of my medication. It‘s been a wild ride but I‘m feeling again. Truly I am. I have a wide range of emotions and it gets overwhelming. But I can feel again. It‘s glorious. 2d
Trashcanman @Bklover Missy!!! You know what? I‘ve missed you. Truly! How are you doing? What‘s new with you? Catch me up on things. I‘m better in many ways. I‘m not the same person in many ways, and in some ways I‘m the same. I‘m giving you a big hug. 🤗 2d
TheBookHippie @Trashcanman 😂😂🤣😂😂 2d
Cortg Welcome back! 😊 22h
Trashcanman @Cortg Hi Cortney! Thank you 🙏. How are you? What‘s new and exciting in your life? I hope you‘ve been well. Hard to believe it‘s been more than 2 years. 11h

Thanks for the #BAndBDay (Book and Beverage Day) tag @TheSpineView 🤗

I woke up earlier with a bad headache & now I‘m tucked in on the couch with green tea and the Pride and Prejudice 1995 series on. Hoping the tea & Excedrin (& Colin Firth) work their magic so I can continue with this book that needs to go back to the library soon, but if not there‘s nothing wrong with a BAndB & PAndP Day! 😉

Ruthiella The medicinal properties of Colin Firth! 👍 Hope you feel better soon. ❤️ 5d

#CoverStories

I couldn‘t think of a #Chapel book but the prompt makes me think of the song Chapel of Love which is featured heavily in one of my favorite rom coms, sung by Elton John. 💒💍🥂

I got 25% for this week's #threelistthursday. In high school, I wanted to watch all of the Best Picture winners. I didn't get too far because it was before Netflix, and it was hard to find the older ones at the video store.
💙One of my favorite comfort movies: Roman Holiday
💙One that was filmed near where I live: Anatomy of a Murder
💙One that always reminds me of an old friend: The Hustler
