I love that you picked Arsenic and Old Lace because of the secrets his kindly "Aunts" have (kindly??) and his psycho brother and Dr played by the great Peter Lorre. Heck, the brother doesn't realize, until everyone else does, that his face looks like Boris Karloff:) There are so many secrets upon secrets it's hard to keep it straight. but it all ends well:)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-30643625830386431482014-12-11T06:41:22.174-08:002014-12-11T06:41:22.174-08:00Cool choices.

Couldn't get into it the first time I watched it and its been years since I tried again. Not sure if I'll have a chance to post one for this week. Hope so.

I suppose I could've made a list of movies I hate with family secrets...<br /><br />But I didn't think of Eyes Wide Sut or Total Recall. Those are decent.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.com
