    I'd never heard of this film. But if you recommend it, it must be good! Will try to rent it soon xxx

    Shaista~ I think you would love it. The film is precious. I cannot think of any other film I would call precious, and you wouldn't think of that word to necessarily describe the immigrant experience and prejudice - but it stays close in the heart after seeing it and that is a precious gift.

    Looking to the Stars~ I think you would be totally engaged in the story and acting. See my comments above to Shaista also.
    Rain here this weekend; I hope it's sunny in Colorado!

    There are truly amazing lines in movies, from "we've got to protect our phoney baloney jobs" in Blazing Saddles to . . . Bear suddenly draws mental blank. Moving house has been totally exhausting. I sure I'll find my brain in one of the boxes, sooner or later.

    Tabitha~ !Howdy! to you. Long time; I will visit your blog to see what's new... :)

    Rob-bear~ Funny Bear, you are so tired that all you could think of was a line from Blazing Saddles! The line is great, btw! If you key in Movie lines I love in my blog's search box you can see the series of movie quotes I have posted so far. Be sure to do this in all the spare time you currently have....Hah!

    I got this from Netflix a while back, on a chance, and liked it quite a lot. :-)

    Fireblossom~ Similarly, we picked it off a shelf at the video store without knowing anything about it. I love good surprises like that!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
