Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean in an oddly progressive drama about Texas land and oil. Elizabeth Taylor is just the best and her character in this movie is so likable.
Honorable mentions:
Daisies (1966)
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970)
Because both are Czech new wave masterpieces and psychedelic sights to behold.

No other film has made me feel like so strongly that I’m actually witnessing true love.
The relationship between Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor teeters on the edge of rapture, a rapture of recognition, of adoration, that is almost incestuous… You are me I am you.
Little Golden Age History lesson as it’s interesting to me… Researching the film I found out that Clift and Taylor were extremely close friends in real life until Clift’s untimely death at only 45… She even saved his life when she found him in a car wreck and reached in his mouth and removed his own knocked out teeth that were blocking his throat and choking him. Hollywood was a difficult world for the both of them, especially for Clift as he struggled with having to hide his sexuality as a gay man.
They were also two of the most beautiful people ever, together it’s almost unbearable… is this how the Greek soldiers felt when they finally saw Helen on the walls of Troy… Recognition of something truly extraordinary - a fantastic story overwhelmed by a far more fantastic reality…
This film was where a lifelong connection began, it really is about true love <3

Gorgeous technicolor epic and Scarlett O’Hara is the greatest female character of all time…
Honorable mentions:
* Imitation of Life (1959)
* The Shop Around the Corner
* Bringing Up Baby
* The Apartment
* Valley of the Dolls — I want a remake with Lindsay Lohan as Neely and I don’t care who else is cast
* Grease — why is John Travolta so sexy…
* Beaches (1988), Steel Magnolias, and Fried Green Tomatoes (I’m listing these all together because they all make me sob inconsolably)
* Anne of Green Gables (1985) — not a movie it’s a miniseries but I always would watch it all in one go like a long movie on VHS 🤓

He’s 16 lbs and truly believes he’s the size of a Malamute, has a beautifully bitchy husky way of talking back for no reason, loves to snug, and - can you believe - he’s almost 9 years old! Also, when he’s feeling awkward, high-fives build his confidence and it’s incredibly cute. Tiny hype man.
