I only watched Moonstruck for the first time during the pandemic, at the urging of a friend who said she watched it annually. Totally entertaining. I really liked the operatic characters, particularly Cage’s.
Poet Mary McCray has a whole site dedicated to Cher that I follow for some reason now:
I agree with you about audio books and novels. One exception was The YaYa Sisterhood. It was fantastic because the narrator created separate voices for all of the characters and so much of the book is dialogue. With audio books you can't easily pause and reflect on the written word.
Also agree with you about Moonstruck. I think the attraction is some of the memorable dialogue: "snap out of it" and
Rose Castorini: Do you love him, Loretta?
- Loretta Castorini: Aw, ma, I love him awful.
- Rose Castorini: Oh, God, that's too bad.”
Also everyone loves a make over story as Cher goes from dowdy to dazzling. And who doesn't love a good love story.
Moonstruck is my absolute #1 fave - it's pretty much perfect. I have made a pilgrimage to the house on Cranberry Street, the Grand Ticino (now a vet's office) and, natch, the bakery. There are so many amazing call-out quotes and every time I watch it I change my mind about whose performance is my favorite.
I started writing seriously two years ago after my husband's death. It has been a huge piece of the healing process and it's a way of keeping him alive in my heart and life.

I love Moonstruck. It is one of my favourite movies.
