Magical Movies: The Enchanted Cottage

I thought I do something different for Fridays in October. I'm going to share movies I love which are romantic and have a touch of magic in them which is perfect for this time of year.

The Enchanted Cottage from 1945. I talked about it here. It stars Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young as two lonely people who are transformed by love. This to me is another classic movie which can be remade and cast with actors of all races. (I have a running list of movies I love to be remade properly and with respect to the original film.) The underlining theme of the effects of war is just as strong as it was in 1945 as it now is 2009.

Turner Classic Movies plays it from time to time. Hopefully someone will get a clue and put it out on DVD. For all my fellow Romantics out there, this is one not to miss.

Here is the trailer for it.




PS. This film is a remake of the original silent version. Which I have never seen but I love to watch.

Enchanted Cottage

I have a b&w gem for all my romantic movie lovers out there. The movie is Enchanted Cottage (1945) starring Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young. I have been hearing about this movie for years and finally saw it the first time in 2006. Since them it has become one of my new favorite movies. It is being aired on Saturday at 9:30pm on Turner Classic Movies. It is a about a lonely woman and WWII vet who meet in a magical cottage. That's all I can tell you because anything else will ruin the movie. I hope you all get a chance to watch. If your going to be out, set your DVR or VCR to tape. After you see the movie, let me know what you think.
