AQ for me. I remember it clearly, but I wasn't really a fan for a couple of movies (Bringing Up Baby, On Golden Pond). The Aviator was released at more or less the same time (I'm sure I learned a lot about KH from that!), and the rest is history.

I first saw TPS when I was very young-- too young to really appreciate it and apparently I thought it was boring. Well, a few years back my school did the stage play, so naturally I had to see the film again and compare them. And well, needless to say I was mesmerized by Kate and it is now my favorite movie and has been for quite some time. But I think the film that really made me a fan was WOTY.

Alicia, my response is EXTREMELY similar to yours! haha.. I definately had seen Philly Story before when I was very little and thought nothing of it. But the first film that I purchased purely out of curiosity from the DVD cover looking cute was Woman of the Year, so that was the first film I really remember seeing and being captivated by. But technically I guess it was TPS although I don't remember sitting there, I just know I had seen it because I remembered some of the scenes when I of course rushed out after WOTY and purchsed every Kate movie, the first being TPS. Hard one to poll but I think I'll put WOTY because it's the first I really *remember* watching.

My first Kate movie would have to have been The African Queen on Oz TV. I must have seen it more than 20 times I love it so much. In fact it was recently shown again (after a few years) and I thought ... waaal .. l I will watch a little while I am on the floor doing my (pelvic floor ahem) exercises and I got hooked on it all over again. It is SO funny and endearing. But the first movie I saw where I fell in love with KH and ST was, of all movies, Desk Set (in glorious black and white again, but hey this was the early 60s in Australia!). I then started to madly collect all sorts of things - my sister's US movie fan magazines etc and I remember being quite embarrassed that I had this "thing" about KH when all my contemporaries liked actors/actresses of "the day" i.e. 60s. It was "my little secret". When I found out KH and ST were actually "a couple" but that it had been kept secret for many years, well, this only made them MORE interesting. Remember that famous photo of ST with a sheet pulled over his face on a gurney after he had had a heart attack while he and KH were out on a picnic in his Thunderbird? I saw this in one of my sister's US fan magazines and, well goodness me, talk about scandal. (I was in my early teens around this time, after all.) Anyway, long answer to a short question! ;D

Rosie, a few paces back.. can you enlighten those of us too young **a-hem, no offence intended** to recall what this picnic incodent is? I, like you although just last year, as soon as I found out that their relationship was REAL was more intregued. As with Bogie and Bacall. But about this attack, what happened? They were actually spotted together as in, to-gether?

Little Women. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger. The film that later made me a fan was Bringing Up Baby.

Mine was The Philadelphia Story. I was getting into the classics and the name 'The Philadelphia Story' really struck me so I went to see it. I saw it on YouTube and I loved it. I became a fan of hers. Her character was one of the best movie characters I've ever seen. And the name...Tracy Lord...it's wonderful. But my favourite of hers in Bringing up Baby.
