Anna Karenina (2013)
Wonderful
This is my all time favorite Anna Karenina. Actors, wardrobe and sets absolutely gorgeous. About time. I have watched it three times. It did justice to the Tolstoy novel. Oh my beating heart be still , that Vronsky. Anna heartbreakingly gorgeous.
The PBS 1977 version is good .
It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947)
Touching little story
My favorite Christmas movie . Touching little storyI I just love this movie . It is sweet gentle and kind. And I love that it doesn't have big blockbuster stars in it. You can keep it a wonderful life I've never cared for Jimmy Stewart's acting style. I guess I am in that 1% but who cares. He was better in the Hitchcock's thrillers when he got a little older. his golly Gee idiot style in early movies was never my style. Too each his own.
Giant (1956)
Boring
What a long boring movie. At the beginning when Rock and Liz fell in love was kind of nice romantic. But I could not stomach the James Dean character just could not. I wanted somebody to knock his lights out I could not stand him. I was never a big James Dean fan anyway that was for my older sisters and cousins not for me.
The Miracle (1959)
Could've been great
This could've been a great great movie. The problem was Carol Baker. While I think she's absolutely beautiful and I liked her in baby doll
giant she just wasn't the right person for the role of the nun. I could see Natalie Wood, Pier Angeli, Susan Kohner (Imitation of life), Leslie Caron or Susan Strasberg. My mother saw it on Broadway and said what an absolutely beautiful show years and years and years ago also there was a silent film version that is all handpainted in color . it's supposed to bePantomime and absolutely breathtaking.

Doctor Zhivago (1965)
Beautiful to look at but..,
The music is beautiful the scenery is beautiful the costumes
Especially in the first half are gorgeous, but Omar Sharif though he is handsome, he spends too much time with tears in his eyes staring looking bewildered and soulful. He supposed to be a hero yet he's cheating on his pregnant wife has a young son doesn't bother look going to look for them.
The best acting for me is Tom Courtney and Rod Steiger they are great they bring needed badness to the film and add some zest and liven it up. . I also thought the professor Boris was great in the few parts he was in and the mother Anna at least she was a little feisty . other than that the acting was meh.
