Nov 2014

Curse of the Golden Flower...it is so visually stunning

The Godfather...no explanation needed

Raising Arizona and Oh Brother,Where Art Thou

Green Fried Tomatoes etc and Steel Magnolias..I still mist up at some key scenes ( living in the South, one appreciates the mood of these films)

Will admit to watching Star Wars 21 times, back in the day of easy weed and midnight movies..same with Rocky Horror...

Casablanca...so often every line is etched into my memory

guilty pleasure repeat: The Prince of Tides
