ohhhh i LOVE Wutherning Heights!!

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me-- I'm Cathy.
I've come home now so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me-- I'm Cathy.
I've come home now so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find a lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love.
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roam in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me-- I'm Cathy.
I've come home now so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me-- I'm Cathy.
I've come home now so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me-- I'm Cathy.
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me-- I'm Cathy.
I've come home now so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Also in 1939, "Goodbye Mr. Chips". Robert Donat won the Best Actor award that year.

Landi, what does "wuthering" mean?

Honestly I never understood what Cathy saw in Heathcliff. He would have been so gone if that was me.

I think what Cathy saw in Heathcliff was the bad boy. I don't understand how at one point in our lives we are drawn to that kind of guy. {alright most of us grow out of it at 20 lol}.

heathcliff was not bad - he just needed effort to get to know - nothing wrong with that :-) (ok so i fall for sullen characters who have a good heart deep down underneath the walls - Rick from Casablanca was another one)

Never saw the movie "Rebecca" but is it based on the Daphne du Maurier (sp?) book which is titled (I think) "The Key to Rebecca?" I love that book and the first line..."last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again..." Haven't read that book in 20 years but I will never forget some of the scenes so vividly described in the book.

So many movies...I love African Queen, Somewhere in Time (was there ever a more beautiful movie made?), favorite musical is Carousel (I don't know why - I just always loved it as a child), The Glenn Miller Story (watched it with my Mom a jillion times), The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...and a whole bunch more. What was the one with Paul Newman where he was married to a blonde ice princess and fell in love with a sweet, dark-haired girl (The Philadelpha Story maybe?)? Isn't it amazing the memories just a description of a movie can evoke? Do you think our children will enjoy them as much as my generation (I am mid-40s?) when they are so accessible? I can remember (and still do this) just waiting for Christmas so I could see "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, A Charlie Brown Christmas and the original Grinch movie.

Roxip, "Rebecca" is based on Daphne du Maurier's book, "Rebecca". It is one of my all time favorite movies and books. I have seen 2 versions of it, the old one with Sir Lawrence Olivier as Maxim and Joan Fontaine as Mrs. DeWinter, and a newer version on A&E Cable Channel (I think), which was equally entertaining.

I watch "White Christmas" every year as I decorate my Christmas tree. You gotta love Danny Kaye!

Roxi-

philadelphia story is the jimmy stewart cary grant katherine hepburn movie -and one of the best

and Soliloquy in Carousel is my all time favorite song from a musical - (dont ask for s favorite musical) - my emotions just do a rollercoaster everytime i hear gordon macRae sing that (SO SO SO glad Frank Sintra walked out of that role the first day - i love Frank but it wouldnt have been the same)

Midlifer & Roxip: TCM is airing The Bishop's Wife tonight at 8PM so you can get a holiday fix in June, if you want! I love Christmas movies and specials.

P.S. The Philadelphia Story is on at midnight. It's Cary Grant month on TCM.

lol, Legal...I've seen that, too! I wouldn't call it a "feel good" movie, exactly, but a good movie nonetheless. I'm a sucker for movies from the 40's and 50's. I told my DD that we need to watch "Notorious" together (Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman). It's one of my ALL TIME favorite Hitchcock films. And ol' Cary is easy to look at.

I am a BIG Cary Grant(or should I say Archibald Leach?)fan. Love those old movies. I am also an Audrey Hepburn fan so Charade is an easy pick.

Now the Philadelphia Story is a great movie. One of Katharine Hepburns finest and how bad can it be to have Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart in love with you.

I'm not sure that Isabella Linton would, in retrospect, have a very good opinion on the romantic character of Heathcliff. Ellen Dean probably didn't like him all that much either.

Mid! I just adore Cary Grant! He to me was the perfect man. I watched a show about him on TCM. It was very interesting. And Roxip, Somewhere In Time is one of the best movies ever.

Count me in on loving Cary Grant! I saw Arsenic and Old Lace for the first time last week on TCM and loved it. TCM is my weekend guilty pleasure for old movies, except for the war and cowboy ones. I am drawn to watch anything with Bette Davis in it.

WEll, everybody, we all should just have a sobfest and watch old movies together! Cary Grant ROCKS! "Charade", "Arsenic and Old Lace"...great stuff! But my favorite Grant movie will always be "Notorious"! I sigh every time I watch the ending as he is being his usual gallant self. Ahhhhh....my knight in shining armor.

HI, MAMIE! I am not at all surprised that you're a Grant fan!
