Somewhere in Time also has one of the best (if not the absolute best) soundtracks of all times. It was one of the first CDs I bought. I can put it in the player and am instantly transported to another place.

And yes, I want to go to the Grand Hotel too.

I love Notorious too. It still draws me in every time! lol
Thanks to Calamity for the heads up. I DVR'd Philadelphia Story & Once upon a Honeymoon last night. My DH is really ill so I will spend a lot of this glorious day inside watching Cary Grant!

I love Cary Grant with Irene Dunne. I love Penny Serenade and cry every single time I watch it.

Cary Grant in North By Northwest, chasing after the still-lovely Eva Marie Saint, as they attempt to escape from Russian spies by climbing down the face of Mount Rushmore. Beautiful.

Singin in the Rain is another movie I never miss when it's on. Also Splendor in the Grass.

WAsn't Jan Michael Vincent's first movie (on televisoin I think) something called "Sandpipers" or something? I remember that it was semi-tragic and he was GORGEOUS.

Y'all keep reminding me of great movies. I always loved Splendor in the Grass. And Gypsy with Natalie Wood too!

Sandcastles I guess it was called, Roxie.

I thought George Peppard might have been in the Sandpipers but I guess not. He was cute waaaay back when & born in Detroit.

George Peppard was in The Carpetbaggers, maybe that's what you were thinking of. But the ultimate George Peppard is Breakfast At Tiffany's.

I saw Ben Hur while I was in high school and was just blown away by it. For many years I considered it the best movie I had ever seen. I guess it still rates right up there among the best.

Another old movie I was thinking of recently was Young At Heart with Frank Sinatra and Doris Day. I just love that movie and watch it every time it's on.

Oh...speaking of Doris Day...I've always loved her and I'll watch any movie she's in, on tv.

The one I am thinking of is the one where she is presumed dead but she was on an island with Chuck Conners, she hires Don Knotts to pose as the guy, it is hysterical!

Oh yeah....Tia Leone did a remake of it that was no where near as good. Off to investigate the title...
