You know how there are certain things that just go? Gray and marigold ... or biscuits and gravy. Watching a movie outside - like spending time in your undies - just goes with summer.
The other weekend, Eli and I went and watched Roman Holiday in Directors Park downtown. I convinced him by informing him it was Academy Award winning (he can be a bit of a snob) and I convinced myself (like that was even necessary) with a coffee-cup full of wine.
My favorite part was the ending! oh the ending! Audrey meeting eyes with Gregory again. They're introduced. She gives a knowing glance that says "Yes, we've met. I'm different because I knew you".
I melted. I'd ask Eli his cinema-expert opinion ... but he was asleep by then.
Oh, Summer and outdoor movies and my hunky man. I'll miss you.

I love that movie! I think it just might even be my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie of all time...granted I haven't seen them all. My cousins had a chicken they named Gregory Peck! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad I missed this! I love Roman Holiday.
ReplyDeleteMichelle : Gregory Peck the Chicken - that's a riot!
ReplyDeleteKate : It was so awesome to be watching a movie in the middle of downtown. I kept looking around thinking "look at this cool thing we're all doing!"
I was there too! :) Although we didn't know that it was playing, we just stumbled across it!
ReplyDeleteI watched Roman Holiday for the first time this summer! Absolutely adore the film! A bit jealous you got to watch it outside. =)
