May 26 movies: It Happened One Night and There Goes My Heart. These movies are very, very similar. There Goes My Heart was made several years later, and isn't as well known, so I'm assuming it was a knock-off of the more successful It Happened One Night. Both are well worth watching as far as I'm concerned. I watched them back to back during a marathon work session.
Speaking of which, someone asked me recently how I find time to watch so many movies. Well, for one thing, I don't watch a lot of regular TV. I follow a couple of Bravo reality shows, and of course the Daily Show and Colbert. But I don't watch sitcoms, weekly dramas, TV news, talk shows, etc. If I'm watching television it's almost always TCM.
Also, when I work at home I divide my work in two categories: the kind that requires my full attention and the kind that doesn't. Work that requires my whole brain would be programming, detailed graphic work, anything that I have to think about or pay close attention. Work that doesn't would be moving data from one place to another, setting up the weekly newsletter, any kind of routine task that takes more time than brain power. I'll often put a movie on to keep myself company while doing that kind of work. I used to listen to podcasts while working, and maybe someday I'll get tired of movies and go back to podcasts.
