My favorite is either the home of the Miniver's in Mrs. Miniver (before the bombing), Joseph Cotton's cottage in Love Letters, and the cottage in Random Harvest..
I love little English homes.

Some of the best endings leave an element of hope, or of doubt..

From a delightful Billy Wilder movie, A Foreign Affair
I just love the singing of the state songs, starting with Deep in the Heart of Texas to IOWAY ... Love it! then, the Russians tossing her around..
-
Now settle down, everyone..
This is wonderful Billy Wilder, but I love Sabrina.. And,
I posted my favorite scene from The Foreign Affair elsewhere.

Spot on, Dargo. It doesn't make me like Buddy less, however. According to Wilder with this story, life is graded on a curve.
A great film.

When you're in love with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara.
-Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine)
Great observational quotes!
and Great punchlines...
Bud: What about Mr. Sheldrake?
Miss Kubelik: We'll send him a fruitcake every Christmas.
It is one of my favorites too.

Something that has all the best. From one of my favorites, though not everyone likes DePalmas take on Hitchcock.. and the work of Herrmann on the score, which I think is perfectly atmospheric.
Obsession (1976):

Only caught the last scene. I consider myself fortunate. It sounds as if they were discussing his seeing eye dog? Is that correct? For I was feeling a bit cheated that I didn't see the dog..

Where's my "*Likes This*" Thumbs up button?!

I clicked on the images and I don't see what's the matter. In the first shot, she is wearing a big shower curtain, and in the next she is wearing shoes.

Oh, now you have me reaching to the top of my bookcase again, pulling down the archival box for them, and looking again. . . .
Months: June, July, and September.
Everyone knows August was vacation month in 1937

Here's an article from Time Magazine about it's launch in 1937.

Illustrated covers featured a beautiful actress. Garbo graced the cover in June, Kate Hepburn in July, and Joan Crawford in September.

That's why I like pop-ups. Let's the dialog alone.
-
Popup meaning appearing like subtitles, usually an aside about the technique being shown or some other little factoid, which for a trivia lover like me, I find fascinating. But most people don't like to read at the movies, so I can see where the commentary in VO is far more common.
I would like the tracks of Stewart or Lemmon. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but there has been some that I found distracting rather than building interest in the movie.
My favorite right now is still the Steinbeck scholar's commentary of The Grapes of Wrath (1940).. Ebert's on Citizen Kane comes to mind too..

another take on the page.

Favorite line from movie.

There's my old friend. I think of you and Lydia often, always about Casablanca. I hope you are staying comfortable.
