I have seen all of them but my memory is so bad I can't remember which one I like best, and I can barely remember some of them. I am now able to watch something again after a few years and it's like the first time... I shall look them up again for a rainy Sunday.

I haven't though seen Enchanted April.. nor Up At The Villa so this will remember to get these out now....<br /><br />I love most movies that features Italy or France... especially period pieces that focus on the countryside, architecture, art and fashion of that era... of course Life is Beautiful stands outside that rule.. but is possibly one of the best films I have seen...<br /><br />Gorgeous post... hope you have a lovely weekend.. rain or not.. xxx JulieJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-19713005133551917742010-05-15T04:28:04.461+02:002010-05-15T04:28:04.461+02:00I love all of your selections, sweet friend.

Room With a View is probably my favourite, although I adored Tea With Mussolini and Up In The Villa as well. Did you know that Tea With Mussolini was basically an autobiography of director Franco Zeffirelli?<br /><br />But I adore the scene in Enchanted April when the two ladies awaken on their first morning in Italy. So sublime.Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-69429958148687503702010-05-15T00:30:53.947+02:002010-05-15T00:30:53.947+02:00Dash,

In addition, I would like to add "A Good Woman" directed by Mike Baker. The film is based on Oscar Wilde's play and it's set in the Italian Riviera. The location, the set and above all, the fashion and costume in this film are absolutely wonderful. <br /><br />PS. Enchanted April - I prefer the book actually. Wings of the Dove is one of the most sumptuous films I've ever seen.A Super Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640893790909916004noreply@blogger.com
