| MORE ABOUT MOVIES: Over the years I have found that I want to watch some movies over and over again. Many are musicals of the 50's and 60's that will never lose their entertainment value. And most depict a way of life that was uncomplicated, yet full of fun and excitement. While we all have different favorites, if you have never had the opportunity to view these, you should change that as quickly as possible, and if you have already viewed them, don't you agree it's time to enjoy the experience again. |
