Movies I Watched at Home in 2014, List #6

I was on the road a lot in June, but I managed to get some movies in.  Here's my list -- chronological order of watching with a grade I gave it at the time and a comment or two about what I remember now.

• Toys in the Attic (1963) - C+ / You should know that I love Geraldine Page, and therefore this should be watched. But I think all you need to know about this movie is in this poster.
• Winchester '73 (1950) - B+ / I'm gonna watch all five of the Anthony Mann westerns with James Stewart. This is the first, and we're off to a good start. Rock Hudson's Young Bull is both a highlight and lowlight of this one. 
• Queen of Outer Space (1958) - A+? F-? Who cares?? / Oh, Zsa Zsa. You have to see this to believe it, especially in its restored beauty. 
• Bend in the River  (1952) - B- / The second of the Mann/Stewart westerns. Rock Hudson works better as a card shark.
• The Feminine Touch (1941) - C / I didn't think Rosalind Russell could be upstaged but both Kay Francis and Van Heflin managed to do it. 
• Bringing Up Baby  (1938) - A / Never gets old.
• A Star is Born  (1954) - A /  This is another one I always thought I would hate. And another that I got wrong, wrong, wrong. And I'm finally gaga for Judy Garland. All in.
• High Plains Drifter  (1973) - B / Somehow there is not one likeable character, but I liked it a lot anyway.
• Berlin Express  (1948) - C / I love the idea, but it doesn't quite work as well as I'd hope.
• The Blue Gardenia (1953) - B / Remind me to steer clear of Singapore Slings. This story is like watching one of my recurring nightmares play out.
• The Rose Tattoo  (1955) - B  / So much emotion! Sometimes it hits just right. Sometimes.... Crimson Tide.

Suzanne Sugarbaker's Morning Routine

I know y'all have heard me go on about how Designing Women isn't on tv at all while the far inferior Golden Girls can be seen 47 times a day. Well. LOGO to the rescue! A list from my Sunday marathon.

Charlene:  Good morning Suzanne.

Suzanne:  What's good about it? It's just another morning like yesterday morning and the morning before that...

• Take a bath 
• Do your nails
• Watch Wheel of Fortune
• Eat candy
