And is it just me, or do others wish HBO (or any other channel for that matter) would run some of the movies they used to show in the 80s? Not just this one, but movies like "Anna to the Infinite Power" and "All Summer in a Day."<br /><br />Now if I could only recall that <i>other</i> movie, which was another frequently shown on HBO...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700809709293636333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-60024560136979376142009-09-03T22:46:19.177-05:002009-09-03T22:46:19.177-05:00Alice - When I was in HS, friends and I used to ha...Alice - When I was in HS, friends and I used to hang out in the forensic coach's office during our free periods. Sometimes he would put us to work helping younger students with forensic presentations, or grading papers for his classes. Then one day my friend Suni and I walked in and he greeted us with a gleam in his eye and a tape recorder. "I have a special assignment for you two," he said, practically rubbing his hands together a la evil sorceror. <br /><br />This was back before books on tape, and it seems one of the science teachers had approached him and asked if he knew anyone who would be willing to record the book "Never Cry Wolf," so that his anatomy class could follow along with the tape. Don't ask me why anatomy was reading this book. So, for the next month, we got to lock ourselves in a room with the book adn recorder and take turns reading aloud. Do you know how many takes some of those scenes took?? The recipe for souris a la creme proved especially difficult to get through. Could not do it with a straight face!

My sister and I LOVED that movie when we were kids. HBO used to play it religiously in the early 80s and I believe there was even a sequel. :)CarolynPrescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017074309053054136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-71958364756965517592009-09-02T12:27:17.225-05:002009-09-02T12:27:17.225-05:00Never Cry Wolf; the book made me laugh until I cri...Never Cry Wolf; the book made me laugh until I cried. I loved it. The movie made me squirm until I walked. It probably had the funny stuff too, but I didn't sit still for it very long.Alice Audreyhttp://www.aliceaudrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-39183831713653180452009-09-01T21:21:33.112-05:002009-09-01T21:21:33.112-05:00I haven't seen MC in a while, but happy I thou...I haven't seen MC in a while, but happy I thought of it.

I cannot believe I left that off our list. Kicking myself actually. I cannot tell you how much I love that movie!<br /><br />I'm not familiar with the other 2 that you can't remember the names of. The second one sounds similar to the book Thirteen Moons by the guy that wrote Cold Mountain - but that is new and I don't believe there was ever a movie. But you might like the book! Then there was the movie Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman - another goodie.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.com
