Truth is I'm not really allowed to watch chick flicks in this house. They're just not cool enough for someone who, I'm constantly reminded, did Film Studies as his degree. (Wow)
Secretly though I think we all like a good fluffy film every so often to escape into. I've got two that I'm finding it hard to choose between - Sense and Sensibility
and Thelma and Louise
The first has a great cast, amazing performances, hidden emotions, unrequited love, and incredible costumes. The second has a young Brad Pitt, a semi-clothed Brad Pitt, and a cowboy Brad Pitt.
Hmm which to choose...
I haven't watched either one in years so I'm going to have to remedy that so that I can make up my mind. For now though I'll have to hope that MM doesn't mind my doubling of the quota. And if she does -well tough, I'll send Brad round in his stetson to have a word.
I nearly said I don't mind...
ReplyDelete...Until the prospect of a buff Brad Pitt in a stetson cropped up and now I want to say DAMMIT KATE I ASKED FOR ONE FILM! ONE FILM!
Go on... send Brad round to tell me off...
hehe x
I will when he's finished here ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are both great films for such different reasons.
ReplyDeleteI wrote my dissertation on Thelma and Louise which meant I had to watch the semi clad cowboy Brad so many times - what a hardship lol this was the film where I discovered him and I have loved him ever since!
Topless Brad *drools*
ReplyDeleteHow can I repay you for posting my childhood love sans shirt on a blog post on a Tuesday? Truth is I can't. But know that you have filled my heart and my loins with nothing but goodness this fine evening. Inappropriate but true.
ReplyDeleteI think I smell a rental night...H is out of town...I'm lonely for a little cowboy action...
ReplyDeleteIt's hard not to be swayed by a semi-naked Brad (pre-Angelina, at least!) but my vote is for Sense and Sensibility here. Alan Rickman is brilliant here, as usual and I much prefer this film adaptation to the recent Pride & Prejudice (Firth as Darcy forever!) :D x
ReplyDeleteMy, you really are a desperate lot.
ReplyDeleteYeeha! Hot doggity! You can't beat a bit of hot Brad cowboy action. Yup, I'd have just gone with Thelma and Louise....Sense and Sensibility can bog off.
ReplyDeleteI think both films are great but it has to be Brad!
ReplyDeleteReally glad i've stumbled across your blog. What a warm, interesting and refreshing escape- I adore your writing and look forward to more...
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired to have a good old evening in with a chick flick fest (and plenty of chocolate) and they'll be plenty of the beautiful Brad. We all need ot indulge in him...take a gentle swim in those eyes... :)
P.s. I'm pretty new to this whole blogging thing...And was wondering if you had a spare moment, could you takea peek at my blog? Love or detest it, any comment from a pro like you would be really appreciated! Thankyou! :) xx
Roma - you have made my night. How could I possibly refuse after all those compliments! (*Rushes off to visit*)
ReplyDeleteI have to hang head in shame and admit once again I have not seen either, I truly am rubbish with this genre!
ReplyDeleteRight, first off who said you and MM could keep the cowboy to yourselves? Share and share alike I say. Now that's off my chest, compliments on both choices my dear, each fab in their own way, but T&L really does have a great ending :D
ReplyDeletethelma and louise is one of my faves!
ReplyDeleteIt is bad that I have not seen Thelma and Louise isn't it? I do love a bit of Austen though! x
