When our local video rental place went out of business a few years ago I took home a nice stack of DVD's for a great price and it felt like Christmas!

That awful daughter of hers! I'll try and watch the Joan Crawford version and see if I can stand it.

I haven't watched it yet but the costumes in Mildred Pierce are meant to be good. You also might like the fashion in a British tv show called The Paradise if you can get it. It is on Netflix here now. The Robert Galbraith books are very good, I am waiting for someone in my book group to turn up with the 3rd one.

Hmm, I second lots of others' suggestions and would add Bringing Up Baby, Arsenic and Old Lace, My Man Godfrey, The Last Time I Saw Paris, Scarlet Street.

I watched a few last year and hope to add to my list. You have a great list.

The costumes of "Samson and Delilah", even if they can't inspire a real outfit, are incredibly gorgeous, like the ones of "Cleopatra" (1934).<br /><br />I took a look at you 2014 list and I loved "Only Lovers Left Alive", it's really beautiful (but I have a thing for Tom Hiddleston and vampires!)We Believe in Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035757964039752664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-26912867038711566232016-01-01T23:56:58.423-07:002016-01-01T23:56:58.423-07:00Good group of lists!!
