I'm having a bit of a wobble with stress and anxiety at the minute and I think some relaxing nostalgia would help. It can be any genre, I'm talking anywhere from Nosferatu to What Women Want, I enjoy most things!

What are your favourites that just send you to a whole other place in time when you watch them?

Yes, totally! She was an absolute legend, in life as well as film. I have used other Bette related usernames too, it's nice when someone else gets it😊

Now And Then! I forgot about that, but I love that film. It really is nostalgic.

Ghostbusters
Trading Places

Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my favourite films ever.
I never get sick of the scene in the car park. It's just brilliant.

Brigadoon.
Going back a long way here as it was made in 1954. Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse star in a musical about a Scottish village which only appears once every hundred years.
