Show and Tell Sunday


Morning all........ today is yet another Show and Tell Sunday.... they come around fast don't they?

September's Show and Tell is hosted by the lovely Kelly - please stop by & see her selection.

Today we're showing our favourite films............

Now I struggled with this as I'm not really a film person...... odd isn't it? I've only been to the cinema a few times & unlike some people never watch films over & over....my brother has about 200 DVD that he keeps watching. I do have some favourites....some I've watched more then once so here they are.....


I'll start with the one everyone will know..... who doesn't love Grease? 
I remember queuing to see this back in 1978...... I also went to see a double bill with Grease 2 & again with Saturday Night Fever..... I must have been about 8 or 9!!!


Love this..... the music, clothes, Vegas as I would like to see it..... ok so it's a bit violent but hey it's a great film.


 A lovely Sunday afternoon film..... I had the pleasure of meeting one of the original Dam Busters...... read all about here.


Another great wet Sunday afternoon film


I saw this film when I was about 12, you remember when BBC2 showed old films on a Saturday afternoon? 
Well that would be the highlight of my week.... I saw some real classics. However I can't remember most of their names :(
Years later I saw this again on TV & finally brought it on DVD. I think it's a real feel good film :) 
I might even watch it this afternoon.

If you want a good cry then this is the one for you!!!

I watched it for the first time with subtitles....... I was crying so much OH could hear me from upstairs!! I watched it again in English but something was lost.

It's an amazing film & makes you realise things could be so much worse....... that reminds me I had a tarot reading last week & I was told I must not be grateful for what I had ..... I'm too humble.... I should always want more then the crumbs on the table.....Now watch this film & tell me you're not grateful for what you have!!!

That's it..... I didn't do too bad for someone who doesn't like films!! 
I didn't even mention the Glenn Miller story, White Christmas...... I could go on!!!
And like my music there is nothing modern!!! Boy I'm definitely born in the wrong era!!!


The next Show and Tell will be Sunday 3rd October..... 

Topic = One thing you would like to do before you die

(ooohh that sounds really miserable doesn't it..... it's not meant that way!)
We were talking about this at work & came up with loads of different things.

I will show you my birthday presents soon as I was a really lucky girl...... back to work on Tuesday :( so I better make the most of my last 2 days!

  1. I haven't seen Casino is ages and as I'm off to Vegas I think it's one I need to watch again.

  2. ha, funny that this should be the topic as I stumbled across one of my all time favourite films on Sky the other night and ended up watching it and falling in love with it all over again - Dead Poets Society - I love the story, the setting, the quotes (aside from the overdone Carpe Diem bit) - I can clearly rememeber going to the cinema to watch it with my best friend when we were both 15 - I cried my eyes out then, and still do everytime I watch it - which was another 4 times at the cinema and countless times on video since then.

    Hope you had a lovely birthday - looking forward to hearing what you got.

  5. One of my favourites is also Grease. I love to sing along. Reach for the Sky and The Dambusters are also films I have many times. I've written about another film of the genre on my blog this week.
    Look forward to seeing your pressies. Hope you had a great birthday. x
