Frankly My Dear...

movies and shows are what get me through so this is a collection of all the ones that made an impression

[catonahottin]

This show will remain as 'Pacey's Creek' to me, from S2 onwards. If you know, you know.

... technically Dawson's Creek (1998-2003)

[catonahottin]

I had tooooo. Lindsey is a Grade-A dumbo in Angel (1999-2004) but this scene in S02E10 Reunion was a 'wow'!

[catonahottin]

Awesome, oh wow! Like, totally freak-me-out, I mean right on! The Torros sure are no. 1! // The movie that never fails to entertain, Bring It On (2000)

[catonahottin]

A moment for the cuteness that is Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe when they were a couple irl too! Sue me, I love Cruel Intentions (1999) -- and I cry every time Bittersweet Symphony (by The Verve) starts playing at the end. 

“I’m impressed” “Well, I’m in love” 

[catonahottin]

I’m not crying, you’re crying! Glad I eventually got round to Boyz N the Hood (1991)!  “Increase the peace”

[catonahottin]

Grace Kelly in Rear Window (1954) deserves her own category of human being.

[catonahottin]

Babyteeth (2020) will tear you to pieces, but in the best way possible.  “I don’t want to hurt you...” “.. so don’t”

[catonahottin]

There’s something so sexually charged about hands touching in films. 

After (2019)

“what does a high school kid do to deserve you?” “he’s nice to me..” “nice... isn’t that just another word for boring?”

[catonahottin]

Firefly (2002-03)

This show was truly hilarious! Think the wit of Buffy and the space themes of Star Wars, and you have Firefly. 

[catonahottin]

“Does goodness mean being another brick in the wall?”

Oh I was not expecting to be completely sucked in by this show Love 101 (2020-) but I was... 

[catonahottin]

“I think it's a fine thing that a man on the doorstep of death can still look at a woman like me with what I call deserved appreciation.”

The scene where Maggie is changing her stockings complaining about ‘those no necked monsters’ gets me every time! 

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) based on the Tennessee Williams play

[catonahottin]

Camille will definitely get her own post because she’s just the sweetest thing, but I love a couple with chemistry!!!  Emily in Paris (2020-) 

[catonahottin]

Probably the most underrated scene in Clueless (1996) - is the one where Cher falls of the bed and looks adoringly at Christian while he is completely oblivious - starts at 59:45 if you wanted to check it out... which I suggest. 

[catonahottin]

HOW DID SOMEONE’S FACE EVEN LOOK LIKE THIS?! 

Top pic is from Giant (1956), bottom is I’m pretty sure East of Eden (1955). 

Also, if you haven’t seen East of Eden, you need to. 

[catonahottin]

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) 

Sidney Poitier is everything. Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, did not disappoint either in this really historically/politically placed film.

[catonahottin]

This film is truly terrifying and unfortunately believable. 

Also - what is it with men wearing Docs that I find so attractive??! 

Romper Stomper (1992) 

[catonahottin]

Drive (2011)

Don’t be fooled this is a violent film, but honestly some stunning cinematography. 

If you watch, just note the camera angles all change in the scene where Ryan, Carey and Oscar are talking in the hallway.
