A tribute to classic film and true romance, Love Walked In tells the story of two women, one older, one younger and the unexpected ways in which their lives are forever changed by chance. For thirty-one-year old Cornelia Brown, life is a series of movie moments, and "Jimmy Stewart is always and indisputably the best man in the world, unless Cary Grant should happen to show up." So imagine Cornelia's delight when her very own Cary Grant walks through the door of the hip Philadelphia café she manages. Handsome and debonair, Martin Grace sweeps Cornelia off her feet, becoming Cary Grant to Cornelia's Katharine Hepburn, Clark Gable to her Joan Crawford. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, eleven-year-old Clare Hobbes must learn to fend for herself after her increasingly unstable mother has a breakdown and disappears. With no one to turn to, Clare seeks out her estranged father, and when the two of them show up at Cornelia's café, the lives of Cornelia and Clare are changed in drastic and unexpected ways. Love Walked In is a cinematic and heartfelt debut that pays homage to the classic Cary Grant/Katharine Hepburn romantic comedy The Philadelphia Story.

Doctor Zhivago. My mother watched this so many times when I was growing up, it kinda turned into a favorite of mine.

Ohhh, gosh...that's a hard one. I'm going to go with THE COURT JESTER; it's just a good mixture of everything... romance, comedy, classic lines, a classic swordfight scene, random insanity in general . . . besides, it has Danny Kaye and takes place in medieval times . . . 'nuff said. :)

Mine is White Christmas - I watched it in high school and it was my first "classic" movie. Still love it. :)

Yes this is definitely a hard one. Definitely The Wizard of Oz. There is no generation that goes by that doesn't love it! It never goes "out of style" and it never will.
