Favorite Movies Love Actually (for the laughs and the romance), Something's Gotta Give (for The House), The Holiday (for everything but Cameron Diaz), Harry Potter (all of them), Finding Nemo (Love. Love. Love), Atonement (James McAvoy. Sigh), The Train (Buster Keaton. Hilarious!), Bridget Jones Diary 1 (Colin Firth. Sigh.), Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth again. Wet!!), Anything with Johnny Depp (Duh), Four Weddings and a Funeral (You will laugh. You will cry. Especially at Andie McDowell's acting.), Fried Green Tomatoes, Serenity (and Firefly.Sooo good.), ...
Favorite Music Pretty much anything on the pop charts until I can't stand it any longer. Revisiting it after a break usually rekindles the groove!
Favorite Books Reading Harry Potter aloud to my kids!, The Help, Suite Francaise (Irene Nemirovsky), Maeve Binchy (especially Scarlett Feather and Tara Road), The Guernsey Literary and potato Peel Pie Society (Shaffer and Burrows. Great title!)...
