Time once again for a few favorites. This time it is films I like just because today I like them.
The More the Merrier (Charles Coburn and Jean Arthur were both nominated for acting Oscars, Coburn won)
Old Acquaintance (one of my favorite Bette Davis films)
To Each His Own (Olivia de Havilland won the first of her two Oscars, and John Lund in his first movie role plays two parts, a world weary pilot as well as a lovestruck young soldier)
The Male Animal (I didn’t know Henry Fonda could be so funny)
Father of the Bride (the Spencer Tracy version, not the Steve Martin one)
Another Man’s Poison (Bette Davis playing a not so nice mystery writer)
Possessed (Joan Crawford starred in two movies with this title, this is the second one and she was nominated for an Oscar for the part of a woman slowly losing her mind, plus I find the banter between Van Heflin and Geraldine Brooks priceless)

There are bits of dialogue in each of those movies that make the movie. The Heflen/Brookes conversation about a certain Marriage Proposal is priceless.
