The rest of the movie kind of pales in comparison though. I've seen it a number of times, and I never really remember it (unlike Annie Hall, which is chockablock with unforgettable scenes). Rent Vicky Cristina Barcelona! It feels like an old-school Woody Allen movie and has lots of amazing real estate porn in it! Probably my favorite film from last year.

My all-encompassing love for Woody Allen aside, this movie is just totally and completely perfect. When I went to NYC last winter my number one pilgrimage was to the dead end of 59th street for that view of the Queensboro Bridge. I even have the <i>Manhattan</i> poster framed in my living room, and every time I look at it I can remember standing there in that spot. I also went to Zabar's and John's on Bleeker St. to round out my walk through one of my favorite films.

My husband and I are embarking on purchasing our first home - a heritage home, in rural NSW, Australia. Although not as glamorous as your home, I hope one day, it will have half the character and oomph that your hoome does!!! I check in daily on the blog to see what you have been up to - when we finalise the purchase of our place, I will be sure to start a blog to record the "new" history of our home. Congrats Anna!

But my whole family comes from there, and I even after we moved to California, we went back for visits frequently. I've always felt a deep connection to that city. I have vivid memories of being in my grandparents' house in Brooklyn. My grandfather had his own theatre company, and my grandmother played piano on the big black baby grand in their living room. It seems that I lived my whole early childhood to similar sounds and scenes as in this little clip you've posted (I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen Manhattan yet!) I have my grandfather's old photos from his theater days, and you've inspired me to perhaps post some pics on my flickr account. Thanks for this heart-warming post!
