[Immediately FREE] Wholesome Weekend Date Movie (July 30, 2016)

This week before I picked the film to recommend, I was looking over my list of  "requirements" again. I'm not sure if this movie possesses all of them, but since I was watching it yet again,   I thought, "What better reason is there to recommend this film to others than that I, myself watch it repeatedly?" (even if I'm not sure why).

On the surface it seems like it will be just a piece of 1950's Technicolor fluff, but first impressions aren't always accurate.

"All That Heaven Allows" is the story of a middle-aged widow (portrayed by Jane Wyman), with two grown children who lives in a small, conservative American town. She falls in love with her much younger gardener (portrayed by Rock Hudson) who is very different than the type of man her husband was and the type of man she is used to. But they inevitably fall in love and decide to get married which causes the town to go into "gossip-overload"  and they have to weather a lot of opposition.

This film is interesting and demonstrates the same attributes as the love affair at the heart of it: a tender, playfulness and enduring peacefulness. Not to mention witty dialogue, a great supporting cast (led by the always wonderful Agnes Moorehead) and a perfect 'snapshot' of 1950's small town, middle class, conservative America.

Simply put, I enjoy this movie and feel good when I watch it.  I hope you do too.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[Immediately FREE] Wholesome Weekend Date Movie (July 22 2016)

There is nothing tense about this week's recommended film. It's about glamour, romance with just a few plot twists to keep you on your toes. But let yourself (and whomever you're with) float away and be peaceful and happy, even if only for a couple hours.

"The Hiding Place" (Behind the Scenes during filming)

The Real Corrie Ten Boom & the Actress who portrays her: Jeannette Clift

Also starring: Julie Harris, Arthur O'Connell, Eileen Heckart, Nigel Hawthorne,

When I found this film on YouTube earlier this week I was so thrilled I immediately "shared"  it with everyone. I believe it to be the BEST film I've ever seen. I think that 'earns' it a second recommendation (at least).

The best part about this World War 2 action film? 
It's ALL true! Right down to the dialogue being what people actually said and it being filmed at the actual locations where the action took place. Gripping, intense, full of action and compassion. This one you do NOT want to miss!

"The Hiding Place" is the story of two middle-aged spinsters and their elderly father who saved many Jews by hiding them in their home in occupied Holland during World War II. Proving again that God uses ordinary people to do EXTRA-ordinary things. 


What is YOUR destiny?

(The Real) Corrie Ten Boom 
          in the 1930's

Based on the  book of the same name by Corrie Ten Boom.

[Immediately FREE] Wholesome Weekend Date Movie (July 8 2016)

You almost didn't get a film this week. It's not that easy to find a film that fulfills ALL my requirements, especially the "immediately FREE" part. But this is the film I am currently watching myself, so we will learn together how it ends. 

One of Paul Henreid's first roles,
 when he was still using the name "Paul von Henreid"

I've picked a World War 2 spy thriller called, "Night Train to Munich" and it's got lots of plot twists (as all good spy thrillers do). That's the main appeal of them, trying to figure out who is a Nazi agent and who is the "double agent".  In the 1940's, when people did business with only a handshake, someone lying was a HUGE deal. But if the lies could land you in the hands of the dreaded Nazi's and maybe your son or husband was in these very circumstances, a movie with this topic was very prevalent. Today it simply makes for good story telling. 

Rex Harrison "sings" to Margaret Lockwood

So together we will find out if Rex Harrison, who is portraying an Englishman pretending to be a Nazi in order to retrieve a scientist (and his lovely daughter), will be able to carry out his mission. And ultimately, who will lose their lives in the process. Sacrifice being another key element in any good World War 2 film.

Have a good weekend everyone. Thank you for coming by again.

Sincerely, Laura-Lee

JUNO Space Probe Arrives at Planet JUPITER

"JUNO" Space Probe Diagram

For those of you interested in space and astronomy, the "JUNO" space probe has arrived at it's destination: the planet "JUPITER".

The trip has taken years, but the probe is still working "nominally". After it does a few more maneuvers and "rests" for a while, it will power up to continue to give us our first "up close and personal" look at this planet.

I've included several LINKS that will help you track and follow what is going on.

[Immediately FREE] Wholesome Weekend Date Movie (July 1 2016)

I couldn't think of a good film for this weekend, so I had decided I'd rather not recommend any film than pick one that wasn't up to my high standards (and weird tastes). Then this film jumped into my mind AND I found it at YouTube as well. 

I'm not sure how much cuddling or "warm fuzzies" it will inspire BUT if you have long fingernails that need cutting, this movie will help. It's a "nail biter" from beginning to end. 



I'm not going to tell you much more about it because I don't want to ruin one second of you discovering it or the "trip" it will take you on. 

I'll just tell you that it stars a great ensemble cast led by James Stewart and Richard Attenborough and it's called, "The Flight of the Phoenix".

Ignore the phone, make sure you've got lots of munchies and click on the LINK to YouTube to see it NOW and for FREE (as usual).

And I wish you all a great weekend, whether you're celebrating "Canada Day" (Canada's Birthday on July 1st) or  "Independence Day" (America's Birthday on July 4th).

Sincerely, Laura-Lee  (Rahn)
