So one of my top movies has to be Anne of Green Gables Based off the book by L. M. Montgomery the first movie was lovely and though the second movie is not close to the book I still enjoyed it. Starring Megan Follows as Anne Shirley She is such an original character. Her love of books and the way she makes up names for places the instant she arrives in Avonlea. She almost leaves one breathless with her chatter but one can't help but love her! My favorite part! Anne portraying the "Lady of Shalott" whose boat accidentally sinks and she must be saved by a handsome gentleman in an awesome hat. But more about him later. The Beautiful Diana Barry best friend and kindred spirit of Anne Shirley played fantastically by Schulyer Grant Anne and Diana have such a special relationship. I love this scene. Sorta bitter sweet with such a gorgeous backdrop. Surveying a certain person at their first ball. Gilbert Blythe, great friend, enemy and sweetheart. Portrayed with brilliance and emotion by Jonathan Crombie. He is the guy with the cool hat as you can see :) Love this picture Black and white + awesome hat+ faraway look= amazing Enemies (at first) So funny. They are great friends in this picture, though it may not appear so :) Stern and unrelenting yet loving and so ineffably kind Marilla Cuthbert played by the always awe inspiring Colleen Dewhurst These two bring the whole movie together. And Matthew Cuthbert, brother to Marilla portrayed by Richard Farnsworth. He is so so gentle and compassionate. He is the sweetest most lovable character one will ever come across. They have such a close relationship. From the moment Matthew finds Anne at the train station and she talks his head off. And last but not least is Patricia Hamilton as Rachel Lynde. Gossip, snobby, always in someone else's business. And though sometimes one may want to strangle her she brings humor and laughter with her. So full of laughter, sadness, friendship and love. A story that should never end. Full of a wonderful cast, fantastic costumes and setting and a story of growing up. If you have not watch Anne go and rent it. Now!
