Do you have favorite movies that you like to watch during a certain season?
About February/March I start wanting to watch "A Secret Garden". Here in the Pacific Northwest it can be damp, cold, and blustery like England where the story takes place. And I am craving being outdoors by then so it seems to fit.
So what movies to you like to watch?

Obviously Little Women for the holiday season....
For whatever reason, I watch a lot of movies made from Jane Austen novels in the early spring and summer--seems like they're always going on Holiday in the films, usually to seaside villages, like Brighton, or to Bath, which are typically summer type places. Although one story is set in Bath at "Christmastide"....
A few days before D Day, we start watching Band of Brothers so that we can actually watch the D-Day episode on the anniversary of the allied invasion. Ok--yes, that's my husband's idea 
I think that's about it--of course, I'll watch what I want whenever--I think I watched Little Women this August, because I was so sick of the hot weather!!!!

| I love to see Enchanted April each...you guessed it, April. Unfortunately I don't think it's on DVD, but I do have the VHS version. Ladies, if you can see this movie, I wholeheartedly recommend it, it's a beautiful movie! |

I'm with you, Jonni ~ those Jane Austen inspired movies get me every time. I've just been in bed with the flu and I watched Sense & Sensiblity .... twice! And then about right now I love to watch Anne of Green Gables. The Canadian countryside is so pure & lovely and it just inspires me to plant flowers.
This week I've also watched the Ghost & Mrs. Muir which is perfect when you want to get away to little oceanside cottage.
I haven't seen Enchanted April, but I think I'll send my husband to get it for me tomorrow. I'm supposed to be in bed until Monday. If I stretch this out, I could get a couple more movie days out of it! LOL
Blessings, Lea

I LOVE secret garden, and I do love to watch Spring type movies when spring gets closer. I love to watch comedies this time of year ...I guess I like comedies all the time. I like old ones the best. I could watch Anne of Green Gables all the time...and some kid's movies I just love too. I just rented Murphy's romance AGAIN. I have always loved that one.
The rest of my family tends to pick action movies...I like things a little calmer.
My favorite movie of all time is called Country. It has Jessica Lange and Sam Shepherd and the adorable Wilford Brimley...an '80s "mom saves the farm" movie and I love it.
