Down With Love

It's NYC in the early 1960s, and a feminist author (Renée Zellweger) falls for a womanizing journalist (Ewan McGregor). This confection has got Mad Men's feel all over it — the fluffier side, anyway.

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING, has it all. 3 girls come to New York to make a success at a publishing house. Complete with bosses making passes, rich boyfriends, sets that mirror MAD MEN, and last but not least, JOAN CRAWFORD!

Aaaah! I've watched and loved most of those movies. Still a few to discover. Thanks!

Love this list and makes me want to rent Riding in Cars With Boys this weekend! I love that movie.

A Single Man and An Education are two of my favorite films both for entertainment and for aesthetics. I also have a soft spot for Peggy Sue Got Married. And don't forget Back to the Future! Another little-known gem is Shag, with Phoebe Cates.
