Style and Substance... "Great Expectations"


One of my favorite movies in high school was the remake of "Great Expectations." Got to say... it's still on my list of favorites!


The shots of Estella (love the name) and Finn as kids were filmed near a vacation home we'd go to in Florida, and the scenes were even more magical as a result.


Estella's style has stayed with me from high school until the present day! My favorite was her green outfit in NYC, when she meets Finn at the foutain.


The art and snobbery and passion and loathing of love unfulfilled makes this movie a Prippy classic!

Oh... and the soundtrack is still completely amazing!

Blast from the past! I agree that the soundtrack is amazing. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I never read the classic book which I probably should.
