Anne of Green Gables [1985 film]

Never read this as a kid so it was an absolute pleasure to get lost in this delightful story of orphan Anne Shirley’s life with Matthew and Marilla on their farm, Green Gables. She evolves from the 11 year old chatterbox into the delightful teenager who succeeds at so many things. She is whimsical, irrepressible, emotional, loyal, delightful, frustrating, stubborn, clever, kind and mischievous. Matthew delights in her presence and Marilla grows to lover her deeply.
The writing style is lovely with beautiful descriptions of the flora and fauna of Prince Edward Island.

These movies are unforgettable, and wondrously executed. With the exception of the heinous crime to the memory of L. M. Montgomery, that is the third film, these movies are works of art. They bring to vivid life, the world of Anne.

Follows the enchanting life of orphan Anne Shirley (Megan Follows), from her struggles as an adolescent to her triumphs as a young woman.

My #8 best-seller. This charming and moving drama is an enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first meeting with her austere guardian to her emotional graduation from Queen's Academy. It chronicles the tragedies and triumphs that mark Anne's growth from adolescence to early adulthood: her friendship with Diana, her quarrels with Gilbert, her adoration for Matthew, the wrong bottle of wine, the cake disaster, the broken leg, her academic achievements and the salvation of Green Gables. Flexibility and simplicity are its greatest characteristics.
