Hi everyone!

This is still a movie I recorded before I left for our holiday. From the name and picture it was impossible to know what this movie was going to be like but I liked it sooo much. It still makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I think about it. Sometimes I tend to overlook older movies while some of them can still bring so much joy. 

Do you know other movies like this? I'd love to know!

I think I told you before you left that I live about 10 miles away from where they filmed this movie. You can still eat in the cafe.

The Grand Budapest Hotel What's Eating Gilbert Grape Amélie Big Fish Juno About a Boy Captain Fantastic

Been quite a while since I've seen it, but if I remember right, a movie called Spitfire Grill had a similar vibe.

I will probably wait for the YT edit on this one, as I don't know that I need to re-watch it just yet (saw it for the first time last year), but the book makes it more explicit that Idgie and Ruth are in love with each other (although I would say it is still pretty obvious in the movie).

This is such a great movie. An easy movie to rewatch. If you have not seen it, you are in for a treat. Plus we get to see Mary watch it with us. What a fun time this is going to be. 2022 is off to a great start. Yeah!!

Been a few decades since I've seen this. I'll see what other film titles it inspires while I watch.... Could be a while, I only just got around to watching The Martian the other day. 🤪

Arrival or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!

Steel Magnolias My Girl The Quiet Man Bend it like Beckham Stand by Me Thelma and Louise Beaches Driving Miss Daisy Philadelphia

Steel Magnolias is *definitely* a good one to follow Fried Green Tomatoes with!

The movie I thought of first that has a similar dramatic feel to it is The Cider House Rules.

Fried Green Tomatoes, Steel Magnolias, and Driving Miss Daisy are 3 films every Southern must watch. I’d say Driving Miss Daisy next as it also has Jessica Tandy in it.

I watched this the other day when I was off work. Oh what a fantastic film. So glad you did this one as I feel it wouldn't have gotten that much deserved rewatch otherwise. It's been so many years and I'd forgotten pretty much everything about it the film. Which is both good and bad. Sad that it hadn't left enough of an impression on me. But wonderful that I got the feeling of watching it for the first time all over again.
