Be My Guest - Irene (Question No. 4) Describe the perfect way to watch a classic movie

4. Describe the perfect way for you to watch a classic movie.

That depends:

I love to cuddle up on my couch with one or two cats next to me (or one upon my lap) – and have a big cup of hot black coffee/cappuccino within reach..

And sometimes I have really fun with the girls: we pick a theme/ or movie and celebrate it with funny costumes and beverages and stuff like that.

E.g watching IRMA LA DUCE (1963), where everyone was dressed as one of the characters: I was wearing my green stockings and a green bow in my hair, a friend of mine wore a blonde wig and heart shaped sunglasses, the third one an eye patch and another one a big black moustache. We even made a “flick cap” ourselves.. You see: lots of possibilities.. There was some French food and everyone was having a ball.

Sometime we also claim scenes like the scene from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1967) where Neely meets Tony in the sanitarium, which is always a big laugh, because we’re voting for the best performance – that is: the most cheesy one.. *ahem*




“Karaoke movie watching” is also rather popular: Play a DVD with subtitles but no sound. You can play it straight or kind of SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN (1952) “Yes, yes, yes! – No, no, no!” ;”) – and of course you can do your own dialogoues.
