I really love Imitation of Life, staring Lana Turner.
It is a really compelling story about the relationships of mothers and daughters and of women and the relationships they build and destroy in their efforts to follow their own dreams. There is also the plot line of Sarah Jane who is a young black woman but so light skinned that she tries and does at times pass for white, which is the time of this movie I think had to have been an even more compelling issue to deal with than it is now. Every time I watch it I am really struck by the stories and the end of the movie is... its a very deep message.

My other favorite is Hitchcock's Rebecca. The book by Daphne Du Maurier is also a huge favorite. And it has to be the Hitchcock because I have seen others use the same source material and just not bring to life the level of suspense and terror that Hitchcock does.
You are my audience, always.

Bring him home. Please.
A beer for Nick? Don't mind if I do.

wotmania? Why it's our legendary home where Kory CrazedWeasel and LittleSoul yet roam. It's where I hope, in the end, to return.
