to want to spend mothers day afternoon watching Anne of Green Gables with my daughters

[bigmouthstrikesagain]

The 1985 mini series of course.

I'm re-reading the books for the millionth time. I'm on Anne's House of Dreams.

Need to order the DVDs.

And I am watching Jane Eyre (2011 Michael Fassbender) version right now with a glass of red so mothers day is on!

Am also watching the pilot of My So Called Life in YouTube right now.

Love that! Have the dvds. Enjoy

I love Daddy Long Legs too. Jean Webster was an amazing woman. The other books aren't as good imo.
I like it when Daddy/Master Jervie/ Mr Smith says, 'my dear little Judy, didn't you realise?' My dds don't like it as much as I do. Or any American 1900s girls' literature. Such a great genre.

My so called life...... Loved it. Jared leto

I know. Jordan Catalano

As in I agree, not 'I know, duh'

I couldn't believe it when they axed it and left it on her starting to have feelings for Brian.... Bloody Brian over catalano??? I think not

Sounds like bliss. The miniseries is fabulous and Megan Follows was born to play Anne.

I love the whole series. Rilla of Ingleside is properly devastating though. Broke my heart when I was a child.

God yes that was an outrage ... Jared leto so pretty [sigh]

Doesn't he look at bit trampy these days though?

I'd still take him looking trampy and even a bit smelly

Well you are called krustyem

yeah I probably still would

You can get it on DVD? I MUST have it!!!!

I spent my birthday watching The Nutcracker with my daughters. We had a great time. Your plan is equally good. Never seen the show but loved the books.

For those who want another weepy to watch - the Elizabeth Taylor version of Little Women.

You are not being unreasonable at all.

What a fabulous way to spend MD.

You've got me all nostalgic now.

YANBU. I have the DVDs - cannot wait until DD is old enough to watch and appreciate it.

Gilbert Blythe is the man of my dreams. Jonathon Crombie was perfectly cast, as was Megan Follows.

Hmm. My only reservation would be that I would prefer them to read the books before watching the tv series. DD1 has read them all, but my younger DCs haven't and I somehow feel I'd prefer them to enjoy the books first. Is that odd?!

Oh God, when Matthew died... I don't think I've ever cried so much over a tv show. And when Matthew (with help) bought the dress with the puffy sleeves... I'm welling up now.

Wow op. You just took me back! I watched it religiously. Fond memories xx x

I have just received a load of travel brochures from PEI tourist office. I just have to persuade DH now, who just doesn't understand.

Yanbu, I love Anne of Green Gables. We're working our way through Little House on the Prairie at the moment. :)
