Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the U.S., and Happy Thursday to everyone else! ; )

I've got my computer set up in the kitchen this morning while I make my contribution to our family Thanksgiving dinner. I'm making deviled eggs and sweet potato casserole for 23 people. My mother-in-law is having the festivities at her house, bless her heart. ; ) I'm also getting a little writing done on TTWD -- am I a multi-tasker, or what?

By the way, I got my copy of the Feburary issue of Realms of Fantasy yesterday in the mail. This means it's either available at newsstands and bookstores now, or will be in the next few days. Barnes & Noble and Borders sell it. My ad for Magic Lost, Trouble Found is on page 14 in the middle of the cover article on The Golden Compass movie. The cover of this issue is the movie poster, and it's gorgeous!

For today's blog, I'm doing a repeat post of an oldie, but goodie -- movies I like. And don't forget to check back on Saturday for some fun pictures of me. (Scroll down to yesterday's post for details.) I'll be posting on Saturdays now as well.

Here's my movie list, enjoy!

The Classics
Captain Blood -- This was Errol Flynn's first movie, and in my opinion, his best.
Casablanca -- Simply superb.
North by Northwest -- Great, classy thriller.
Charade -- Great thriller, and it doesn't get more classy than Audrey Hepburn.

Then there are the movies that if I'm clicking through the channels, and it's on, I just gotta sit down and watch.
The Mummy -- The first one with Brendan Fraiser, not the sequels.
Young Frankenstein -- Just too many great lines to quote just one.
Ghostbusters -- Again, the first one, not the sequels.
Big Trouble in Little China -- Mysticism, martial arts, mayhem -- how can it get any better?
The Hunt for Red October -- International intrigue and Sean Connery. Need I say more?
Highlander -- The original movie, not the sequels.
Moonstruck -- I simply adore this movie.
Star Wars (the original first three) -- This choice goes without saying.
The Pirates of the Caribbean (all three) -- Johnny Depp. Enough said.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind -- This movie just rocks.
Alien -- The original. Saw it in the theater. Scary as hell. Sigorney Weaver kicks butt!
Poltergeist -- The original. Likewise saw it in the theater. Likewise scary as hell.
LOTR -- How could I forget? All three movies. All three breathtaking.
Galaxy Quest -- If you're an old-time Star Trek TV fan, you gotta see this. Hilarious!
