Which do you prefer:
Alice Adams or Stage Door
Bringing Up Baby or The Philadelphia Story
Woman of the Year or Adam's Rib
The African Queen or Summertime
Suddenly, Last Summer or Long Day's Journey Into Night
I know, it may be hard to choose and there may be no correlation between the two movies paired together.

Yes, a bit of a strange one this. But guess I'd go for Stage Door, BUB, WOTY, Summertime & Suddenly

Stage Door -- Alice Adams was sweet and a great performance but overall, I liked Stage Door. Bringing Up Baby -- My two all-time favorite Hepburn movies and I have to choose between the two! But BUB makes me laugh harder so BUB it is. Adam's Rib -- My other two all-time favorites  Woman of the Year is the first Tracy/Hepburn movie I ever saw and I fell in love with them... But I like the story of Adam's Rib -- plus she looked really hot in that film clip they showed at the party. The African Queen -- IMO a lot better performance than the one in Summertime. She looked gorgeous in color though Long Day's Journey into Night -- without a doubt! Amazing. Catherine |

Firstly, I must say, while I find this fun, I fail to see a real point in comparing them as they're all fantastic. But again! fun is fun, so lets have some... Stage Door. Alice Adams, at various points, makes me want to cry. Stage Door doesnt do that, and I personally find that, while a smaller part, Terry Randall is just so comPLETEly fascinating. A really interesting person...and very much (as La Cava told Kate) the human question mark. Are riddles not entirely addictive? Oooo..a very hard one. The Philadelphia Story. While Bringing Up Baby was widly hilarious, and provided laugh after laugh, The Philadelphia Story is just so beautiful to watch. It never, ever, gets old. Everything about is brilliant. Better word: Perfect. It's just perfect. And I think, ultimately, the diologue is a bit more sophisticated that Bringing Up Baby (being a "screwball comedy", I guess)...which I like. Adam's Rib. Love the script. Love Kate & Spence here. Also, with Woman Of The Year...I personally find Tess Harding quite hard to watch. I say that because she can be so selfish, and the way she treats Sam is really quite horrible. I mean, she does come around and see the error of her ways, and try to fix it...which is great, but I just find it a little less infectious than Adam's Rib. Both films are brilliant though. The African Queen. Because I haven't seen Summertime yet.  I really must get onto it... Also, The African Queen is just so awesome. One of my all time favorites. Long Day's Journey Into Night. To be honest, out of sheer laziness I nearly picked Suddenly, Last Summer. It's just so much shorter. lol. But I think the story of Long Day's Journey is better. Performances better. And I think that it generally is a better movie. Although they are both amazing. Again, ALL of these are great movies. Not that I really should speak for Summertime, since I havent seen it. But let's face it, I'd love it, right? But nevertheless, those are my choices. |

Yes, Shane, you are right -- you WILL love Summertime. Superb photography and another achingly beautiful performance from Kate.

Stage Door : unfortunately I don't share your enthusiasm for Alice Adams, I think the character of Terry is more interesting Bringing Up Baby or The Philadelphia Story, Do you prefer cut your leg or your hand ? ;D, it's almost impossible to choose ..... Adam's Rib, the return of Tess Harding to home bother me a little ;D, and Adam and Amanda are so funny The African Queen , it's like my first love Suddenly, Last Summer or Long Day's Journey Into Night, I can't choose I haven't seen the second

Yes, Shane, you are right -- you WILL love Summertime. Superb photography and another achingly beautiful performance from Kate. I've ordered it! SUMMERTIME! YAY! Well actually, my momma did. For my birthday this month. YAY Also ordered The Rainmaker, and State Of The Union. It's so darn hard to get Kate's films here. I have to do it through amazon.com. And it costs a lot of money in New Zealand currency. Btw...did everyone see that they are releasing Olly Olly Oxen Free on DVD? www.amazon.com/Olly-Oxen-Free-Richard-Colla/dp/B000I0QNIK/ref=imdbpov_dvd_0/102-6526533-2608121?ie=UTF8 |

ooh Thanks Shane ! I have olly Olly oxen free in video tape but the quality is very bad and it's in french ... so .... But with postal fees it must cost an arm and a leg. I have the same problem for State of union, I only find it in USA with amazon.com and order it from France  expensive ! ; Fortunately I found The rainmaker, cheap in a french website Fnac (it's an international store, maybe a fnac exist near your country  ). |

Heh Olly Olly Oxen Free is the last movie of Kate's I thought they'd release on DVD. But I haven't seen it so I'll buy it.
P.S. what region is that? It doesn't say.

Hey Shaun!
It says format: NTSC under product details. That would be video (Europe = VHS). Or did the link up above send me somewhere else?

The link I gave *should* take you to the new DVD on amazon being released on the 17th oct. But maybe I screwed up.
Just search for Kate on amazon under DVD. You'll find it. I think it's on the first page.
(PS: I just noticed, that if we abbreviate Olly Olly Oxen Free it comes to OOOF ... hahahahahaha, ok. Not funny Shane)
