Beautiful and perfect and impossible to walk away from! Hepburn is sophisticated, (if not a little bit unempowered compared to her later work) and Bogart is absolutely charming. My dad usually hates movies because they are either silly or violent or there's too much sex, but I could bring this one home knowing that everyone would have a good time. We built a fire and drank coffee and curled up for a movie everyone could watch together. The '95 version was not bad either. It captured the heart of the original but placed it I a more recent setting..

This movie just made us all feel good and brought us all together. The extravagance of the Larrabee family conjures up the fabulous, dreamy world of yachts and butlers and fine sherry, and Sabrina's innocence/sophistication is completely endearing. It's a great film for a nostalgic, cozy night. I personally recommend it for cold evenings in, an evening of gift-wrapping, or the comfortable come-down time after a huge holiday gathering. Whatever the situation, be sure to catch this one with the people you love.

Although thousands of Halloween TV specials bombard us each October, one stands out as a can't-miss for anyone with children or anyone who ever was a child. The complete lack of scariness makes this the classic feel-good movie of the season. It is one film that is appropriate for children of every age, even very young children. It brings up the same nostalgic feelings that the Peanuts comic strip does, and gets me in the Halloween spirit every year. If you haven't seen it yet, spend some time this October to watch it with the children in your life. It's perfect with warm popcorn and orange candy corn. So for a change from the movies that give you nightmares, try the Halloween special that will give you sweet dreams of great pumpkins.
