“You Can’t Take It With You” is already on my Netflix, and I think I’ve seen either “City Lights” or “The Great Dictator” but I’ll add them both, as well as the rest of this list. I’m not so sure about “Little Women” …not a big fan of Civil War pieces (I don’t know why, bad memories of history class perhaps) and something bothers me about Katharine Hepburn (can’t figure that out either). I do love Audrey though… Regardless, I’ll add “Little Women” and perhaps I’ll be surprised like I have several other times I underestimated a film.

Oops! I read everything but the by-line. Thanks Muzz!

There are three film versions of Little Women — the afore-mentioned 1933 version, 1949 with June Allyson and Elizabeth Taylor, and the one from the 1990s that Melissa mentioned that also stars Susan Sarandon as Marmie. Worth seeing the different takes on the story, though maybe not back to back!

Melissa — I haven’t read or seen any of the Little Women works — will have to check ‘em out.

SizzlyP — We can thank Muzz for this movie list.

I think I have only seen the two Chaplin movies on this list.

Thanks for the list, Jaden! I’ve never seen any of them. When I saw that Katharine Hepburn was in LITTLE WOMEN, I was thinking that she might be the sister of Audrey Hephburn, but nope….not the same last name (h taken out). Friday night, I was Audrey’s first film, ROMAN HOLIDAY, which also stars Gregory Peck. It was very good!
