We just watched "The Scarlet Pimpernel" (starring the amazing Anthony Andrews and the exquisitely beautiful Jane Seymour) with Eric's mom who is visiting. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. It has everything. Comedy, action, drama, suspense, and, of course, romance.
Now, it's kind of my policy to refrain from discussing what imaginary (and unfortunately unrealistic people) I am in love with in my dreams, but since only girls are reading this at this point, I have a confession. I am in love with Sir Percy. Sigh.
If you watch the video, the funny part is at the beginning - well more like the middle (but it only makes sense if you know the plot), and the romance is toward the end of the clip. It was the best clip I could find with actual dialogue.
Have any of you seen this? If not, I decree that a girls night is in order. Actually, Eric likes this movie too because it's funny, has a good plot, and great script. So I guess guys could come too. I just won't sigh out loud.

I have not yet seen it! I really like Jane Seymore though. A girls night would be fun!!!
I've never seen it! I'm adding it to my netflix right now!
I told you I'd come! thanks again for meeting up with us under less than wonderful circumstances... how's the eye doing? Ah, allergies! Mel, I love you! This post is further proof that we are kindred spirits (which movie I also just watched last week). I grew up on the Scarlet Pimpernel. In 5th grade I used to make my friends listen to me quote the poem "they seek him here.." they must have thought I was a nut case but I still love it as do ALL of my brothers and sisters. Ment to be, that's US! Love ya!
OK, this was funny. I actually just watched that movie a few weeks ago on my ipod. It was required viewing when I was younger so I have seen it probably a dozen times and my sister memorized most of it.
