The Nine Days ended just in time for the movie premier tonight of The Help!
I am personally so excited to see this movie, which is based on the #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon about three women who strike up an unlikely friendship in 1950s and shatter a southern town’s unspoken code of behavior. (In fact, I’m excited enough that I may even splurge for a babysitter and drag DH to it this week!)

I like movies set in the 20’s-60’s. I get a kick out of futuristic movies, but am always a little disappointed when we get to that time period it’s supposed to be and we’re still not teleporting or flying in cars.
I know, seriously!

My favorite movie, period, is The Breakfast Club. ;+)
My two favorite movies are 1776 and Gone with the Wind. I think they both qualify as period movies!

Can we call “Julie and Julia” a period movie? It was half period… I also love seeing older Shakespeare adaptations.
I’m also super excited for THE HELP movie!

Since my two favorites, Gone with the Wind and 1776, have already been taken, I will say An Affair to Remember. It takes place in 1950s NY and is fascinating from a sociological perspective. (Also, it’s a great movie.)

and I am ALL OVER @kosheronabudget on twitter. 🙂
I already subscribe to KOAB. My favorite period movie is My Fair Lady. I’m going this afternoon with my book club to see The Help. Sooooo excited!

Uch, bummer! 🙁
The Help gets is my current favorite period movie. I was lucky enough to see a free preview last week with my daughter. Today I finally worked my way to the top of the wait list at the library for the audio version so that is next. If you liked the book, I am confident you will enjoy the movie.

My favorite period movie is Gone With The Wind.
How about “The Frisco Kid”? It’s been a while since I watched that one, actually
Definitely Frisco Kid. We still quote it all the time. “That’s some kinda Toyrah!”
For me it would have to be Casablanca, followed by Forrest Gump, and the The Frisco Kid…
It is an amazing book and an amazing movie!
Since I grew up in Atlanta and because a dear friend’s relative produced it….Gone With the Wind.
