Just a few thoughts I feel worthy of jotting down!
Movie – Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
I was flipping channels trying to find a good movie this afternoon and came across one of the best movies of all time! I missed the very beginning, but that was OK – I have seen it at least a thousand times, so I didn’t miss anything. The movie I had the distinct honor of watching was “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” – the original 1967 version with Sidney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracey (not the more recent half baked attempt to do a comedic twist on the basic story line called Guess Who, starring Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher – I didn’t waste my time on that one!).
Whether the first time or the thousandth time, this movie is captivating, touching, controversial, thought provoking, and just plain amazing! They don’t make actors the caliber of Sidney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracey anymore! They can grab your very sole and hold it in their hands with a simple look or phrase. Sidney Poitier is an exceptional actor who demands your attention and gets it! The chemistry between Hepburn and Tracey is incredible – the off screen intense love they had for each other is apparent in every glance that takes place between them in every movie they do together. Their ability to make the characters they play come to life and touch your heart is second to none!!!
This movie tells an important story and brings out strong emotions in all who view it. The final scene is my favorite – when Tracey’s character recaps the events and conversations of the day and voices his concerns and feelings. It is one of the very best scenes ever filmed!!!
If you haven’t seen this movie, I suggest you find it in a rental store or watch for it on cable – it is so well worth the time – I am so happy I came across it today and will take the time to see it whenever I find it!

I watched this movie for the first time a few years ago and fell in love! It is one of my favorites.
