Movies You Can't Stop Watching and Happy Birthday Penny!

First of all:  Happy Birthday Penny!  Sorry it's belated but hope you 
had a great day anyway.

Well, I seem to share many of Penny's favourites, putting me firmly 
in the romantic comedy camp:

When Harry Met Sally, which I have watched more times than I care to 
remember.

Sliding Doors - love the concept, love John Hannah.

Four Weddings and a Funeral.  Ditto John Hannah.  Love it all except 
Andie McDowall's soppy line about not realising that it's still 
raining.

Beauty and the Beast.  Had a copy, had it stolen, and have been 
waiting ever since for Disney to reissue it.

Anything with Cary Grant, but especially North by Northwest.

Strictly Ballroom - IMO, one of the funniest films ever made.

Sleepless in Seattle - because I love Meg Ryan, and I love the scene 
when Tom Hanks pretends to cry over the end of the Dirty Dozen.

Sense and Sensibility

Much Ado About Nothing (Branagh's).  It is so beautiful to watch, 
even if some of the American acting is a bit flaky (sorry, Guys)

Richard III (Ian McKellen).

Escape to Victory.  I love Pele and Michael Caine, and this doesn't 
really fit the same mould as the others does it?!

More recently I'd have to add:
The Usual Suspects (Kevin Spacey)
LA Confidential (Kevin Spacey)
American Beauty (Kevin Spacey)

And even more recently:
Moulin Rouge.

Notice there aren't any fantasy/sci-fi films listed here.  I have a 
feeling that by next Saturday, this will have changed....


Catherine, who was absolutely delighted to hear Colin Firth say at 
the HP premier that he is playing Sirius Black in the forthcoming 
PoA...
