Anne of Green Gables

Plot Summary: At the turn of the century on Prince Edward Island, Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla decide to take on an orphan boy as help for their farm. But they get an unexpected jolt when they're mistakenly sent a girl instead: Anne Shirley. Anne's a dreamer with an unusual point of view, far removed from Marilla's pragmatic ways, and it's only on trial that Marilla agrees to keep Anne...if Anne can keep out of trouble, only Anne has a positive genius for it.

Carter Review: My dad likes to call this Anne of Green Boring, but I know deep down even he loves it. I think this movie is necessary in order to be considered a human being. Anne is one of literature's (and now movies) greatest characters. She is inspirational. And Gil, I won't even get into those dreamy details. This is a long, but very enjoyable, very worthwhile watch. The kind of movie that makes you want to snuggle under a blanket in front of a fire with some popcorn.
