"July is for Living"

July has always been one of my favorite months.  The weather turns warm, the days are long, and everything seems possible.

There are a million little things that make me think of July and a ton of traditions that come with it.  One July tradition that I can never miss is watching Rear Window with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly.  The first time I watched that movie as a youngster was in July.  The film is also set in the middle of a sweltering New York summer.


If you've never watched Rear Window, I truly suggest it.  A photographer is stuck in his apartment after an accident that has left him in a full leg cast.  With his nurse and girlfriend as his only visitors he find himself spending quite a lot of time watching the neighbors out his window.  Then, one night, he sees something he shouldn't have seen...
The suspense, the dialogue, sexy Grace Kelly, there are a million reasons to watch this film.  Try watching it this July and see what I mean.
