Roman Holiday

I watched Roman Holiday last night. Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn are amazing. Rome is the perfect setting with the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Colisseum (for probably one of the best short stories read "Roman Fever" http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/ewharton/bl-ewhar-roman.htm). I even love the ending, which says a lot since it is so atypical of movies today. I enjoyed the movie so much that I dragged Els to the mouth of truth (not so easy to find) when we were in Rome. So, if you are looking for a movie to watch this weekend, it may not have made the AFI's Top 100 (What were they thinking?). Otherwise, if you want to stick to the list, try Some Like it Hot.
