Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii bursts into tears when he plays at Carnegie Hall his own composition
"Elegy for the Victims of the Tsunami of March 11, 2011 in Japan"
Close your eyes. So beautiful....
 

This is a scene from one of my favorite romantic comedies, "Green Card" 1990. George Depardieu's character has fallen in love with Brontë played by Andie McDowell. He plays a slob so she hates him until this scene (below) happens.

Though strangers, they decided to fake their marriage because he's an illegal french immigrant and Brontë needs to satisfy a rental agreement to be married and a horticulturalist. They concocted lies to use for immigration authorities and to impress her landlord. Brontë thought one lie of George's was that he was a pianist and composer...but was not a lie.

Meanwhile, Brontë is trying to save the trees in a children's park so they are schmoozing with Mrs. Adler (rich philanthropist) at her home where they hope to get her help to save the trees. But first, Mrs. Adler wants to hear George play the piano...turn your sound down when he first starts banging on the piano...watch until the end.

I don't know if Nobuyuki Tsujii can speak my language, I certainly can't speak his.........but his music is universally understood.

Truly beautiful, thank you, Lara, for a very pleasant 4.52 minutes

The title of the film meant nothing to me, Lara, but when I watched that scene it came back to me, yes, I enjoyed that little clip, thank you.
 
Laurel and Hardy: Why didn't you tell me you had 2 legs

A pair of daft beggars that never fail to make me laugh......perhaps you too...:D



 
I've never seen the Laurel & Hardy clips you have posted...hilarious.

The huge slow-motion waves & flowing blue gown, together with the Giovanni Marradi instrumental, was beautifully soothing and sweet to watch such a happy couple.

Timi Yuro ~ I'm Afraid The Masquerade Is Over

Just found this on YouTube and I have to admit I'd never heard it before. I always liked Sarah Vaughan's version above anyone else's, but this is really nice too.

"Zorro, I think , Doris.......Zorro."

"Ha ha ha ha.........oh you are awful, Henrietta.......ha ha ha."
