An Affair To Remember (not rated, 4.75/5 stars, currently priced at $3.49) – Amazon reviewer Antoinette Klein says:
From the beautiful opening song crooned by Vic Damone to the tearful last scene, this movie will have you alternately crying, laughing, and crying again. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr are perfection as the two people who meet on a ship and fall in love. Because they are each engaged to other people, they decide to put their feelings to the test of time. They agree to meet atop the Empire State Building in six months if they feel the same. One shows up, one doesn’t because of tragic circumstances. When they accidentally meet months later at a ballet, it is awkward, yet the chemistry cannot be denied. A sentimental painting, an art dealer’s story of a lady in a wheelchair, and Cary Grant’s dramatic opening of a door lead to an ending that requires a full box of tissues but is one of Hollywood’s most memorable scenes. In addition, this movie is enhanced by a delighful choir of orphans, a grandmother with an idyllic villa, and Richard Denning in a superb supporting role. Traditionally a movie to watch with the one you love on Valentine’s Day, this movie is excellent alone, as a duo, or in a large group. Not just a chick flick, but a movie for everyone who has ever loved or dreamed of being in love.
My Dog Skip (PG, 4.75/5 stars, currently priced at $4.49, currently FREE for Amazon Prime members to view) – Kevin Bacon, Diane Lane and Frankie Muniz star in this heartwarming coming-of-age story about a sensitive young Southern boy wholearns valuable life lessons with his dog.
