A
CD from Leena: Call it classical music with a twist. It is a collection
of variations on several well known tunes. Quite delightful.

Hear
Casey sing! No self-respecting fan should be without this one :)
Casey plays the parts of "Gus" and "Cop" in
this recording of the musical he performed both stateside and in
London with John Houseman's The Acting Company in 1985.

Diane
says: The Ultra Lounge Collection has the greatest compilations
and the "Bobby Darin: Wild Cool and Swingin' vol 2" cd
does not disappoint. His versions of "I Left My Heart in San
Francisco", "Charade" and "Call Me Irresponsible"
are priceless! There's hardly a song I ever skip over.

Diane's
Choice: ESSENTIAL! PUCCINI! Need I say more? A great 2 cd compilation
with a host of beautiful voices singing 36 of Puccini's most beloved
arias.

St. Louisian Diane says: Leonard Slatkin conducts The St. Louis
Symphony Orchestra as they perform a gorgeous rendition of Pachelbel's
Canon. Tracks also include: Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings,
and Vaughn Williams's Fantasia on "Greensleaves". Beautiful,
beautiful music!

Classic
Hitchcock with Laurence Olivier as a wealthy widower who marries
a young, naive, middle-class woman while on vacation. Neither can
seem to shake the ghost of his first wife when they return to his
Manderly Estate. Great psychological thriller, thanks to the ever-creepy
and over-bearing housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers; coupled with a good
old fashion mystery...what DID happen to his first wife anyway?

Classic
Chaplin! Follow the Tramp on his misadventures as he endeavors to
help a poor blind girl. Most people site "Modern Times"
as Chaplin's best film, but the final scene in this one breaks my
heart every time. |

I
don't like to single out any movie as "My All Time Favorite",
but if you twisted my arm, this would be it. Simply yet wonderfully
filmed Branagh makes Shakespeare's war epic accessible and engaging.
This is the movie that made me the Shakespeare fan I am today |

For
us Trekkies that don't mind a little fun poked at us. This is an
endearing comedy about a has-been sci-fi cast being thrown into
a real life interstellar war. I went into this one only expecting
something "cute" and "fun", and ended up absolutely
loving it |
