wow, three of my favorite people - Jenny, Meryl, and John - all in one booth together.  How I would love to be there.  Love, Clarissa

[Meryl]

Maybe we can phone you up, Elle!

Here are a couple of lighthearted movies that you might like: Roxanne and O Lucky Man! Let me know if you would like me to send them to you.

Here are a couple of lighthearted movies that you might like: Roxanne and O Lucky Man! Let me know if you would like me to send them to you.

First off, I just want to say to John, if you're reading this, I'm so glad that you're doing better and are able to check in here from time to time. God bless your sweet heart, and speed you onto a full recovery.

Per Front-Ranger's recommendation of O Lucky Man!, I would certainly concur that that is a most interesting movie, with a wonderful (as always) performance from Malcolm McDowell. But I do want to warn the faint of heart that there is a brief scene in the film that scared the bejeesus out of me! Don't want to scare anyone away from this Lindsay Anderson classic, but to be forewarned is to be fore-armed.

Cheers,
Scott

John! So good to see you pos again! Glad to hear you're making progress! Thanks for the update, Leslie.

I've got some more funny movies for you, though sometimes funny is in the belly of the beholder (belly being the source of good, deep laughter, dontchaknow). Here are some of my faves:

Zoolander
The Princess Bride (a classic for all time)
LA Story
Harold and Maude (One of my most beloved films, period. Though it has sad parts too, and may be a bit heavy for you right now. But there are certainly parts that make me laugh out loud!)

Some folks have recommended the Canadian film Supertroopers (sp?), but I ain't yet had the opportunity  to watch it.

Sending you lots of positive energy from sunny California! And a big (((((((((John)))))))))) hug.

Harold & Maude stands as one of my all time favorites - touching, funny, significant, funny, inspiring, funny...

A little bunny angel to watch over you John...

OMG!
LOL!
What a wonderful way to start the day! Thanks Celeste!

And I of course concur, that Harold and Maude is one of the best films ever made. How could I not, with my chosen harmonica song being "If you want to sing out, sing out"?

And, yes, The Princess Bride, how could I have forgotten? Where's that damn Nicole girl when you need her (remember her verbatim quoting on Elle's BBM Quiz Game thread at ol' PT? Check the archive, if you don't remember, for a laugh or two. A couple of others were in on it with her, but I can't say who right now!)

And finally, Clarissa, big hug! I miss you. Haven't had many run-ins lately,  so please PM me or Meryl or John with your number, and we will ring you up next week at our coffee date.

Saturday love to everyone,

Jenny

Hi Everyone,

There were originally two threads started to and about John, one started by me, one by Leslie (lnicoll).  Today, Leslie and I merged our threads to make this one.  All the original posts from both threads are here, in chronological order.

Gee thanks Clarissa and Leslie! How did you do that? Was it just a click of a button or a painstakingly slow process?
