These are what I love about books and movies--people have such varying opinions. There are some on this list that I absolutely despised, and yet they received votes. The differences of opinion are always interesting. I am a fan of the saying "To each his own." Or her own. Whatever. :-)
Of course, then it's also fun and interesting to see how people who can vary so widely in some opinions can agree in others. For example, our clear winner with 8 votes is '94 Little Women followed closely by Anne of Green Gables with 7 votes. That is the largest majority we have had on any of our polls, and thus our largest agreement. Times like that which make me feel that "It's a small world after all." And I'm pretty sure it's because we (females) all feel a little somethin' somethin' for the Lovesick Laurie and the Gallant Gilbert.
I will talk about these as well in upcoming posts, but I've been a bit busy of late and without Internet connection for a few days at home. So do not fear--I am still here. ha ha ha

I have to say "Lovesick Laurie" never held any sway over me. But the brainy Gilbert? :) I agree that it's funny when taste can so widely vary and yet connect. Really, what could be the common theme?
Lovesick Laurie didn't do it for me either--especially with "The Spit Line!" I never thought the movie did a good job in swaying his emotions over to Amy and I actually did not like the movie for years B/C of him. It took me a while to get past that so I could like him as Batman.
