Wait, who's got mail?
There are nights when you don't need to think of anything. Restful evenings of pure delight. Tonight will be one of those nights as I sink into an arm chair and gaze upon the splendor of You've Got Mail. My favorite movie by far. I was recently asked why I like this movie so much and I wasn't certain how to describe my feelings. I just want to clarify. Characters are always key. When you put Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in the same movie you create something that is both lovely and sweet (Meg) plus humorous and charming. (Tom) And now the story. I know this movie is based off of a book that I have still not read because I can never remember the name of it. I don't know how different the book is from the movie. The movie is an ingenious story of two people who are both in lothe and love at the same time. It portrays how love can cover wrongs and change someone for the better. It can open someones eyes to the worst of themselves and urge them on toward making things right. All of these precious things combined with quirky elements added from the directors sense of humor and classical songs put into the soundtrack come together and make a perfect blend for entertainment. And one more thing, you know those emotions you get when you reflect on things from your childhood? Certain things have certain familiar feelings. These feelings are what fill my heart every time I watch this movie and I'm happy. It's time now. Meg and Tom are here to share their love story with me. I hope you can now understand a little better why this is my favorite movie.

"You've Got Mail" was inspired by Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. It is my favorite book and story of all time. They talk about that book in the movie often. Pride and Prejudice is also my favorite movie (but not the new one, the original A & E, movie--with Colin Firth (my all time favorite) as Mr. Darcy. I have both the book and the original movie if you ever want to have a movie marathon; as it is very long (2 DVDs). Or we could watch one; then the other another time. Or you could borrow either the movie or the book, or both. ;-).
