E: Meet Strawberry Shortcake--luckily I was cooking dinner while she watched it, but at least she liked it.
M: Cheaper By the Dozen (1950)--just fabulous! We all watched the whole thing. It sticks with the book, it's funny and entertaining, it's got great pseudo-period detail, and it even includes, without a coy move, having to go to the bathroom on a long car trip, birth control, and kids wondering where babies come from.
S and me: Alfie (1966)--for some reason I thought this was a ribald sex farce, but in fact it's an existential meditation on the nature of autonomy, connection, and commitment. As good as they say, and Michael Caine is brilliant.
And while we're on the subject of movies: Myrna Loy and Susan Sarandon--separated at birth?
