pegasus
02-03-2006, 01:31
How about some of the really classic ones like Breakfast at Tiffanys?

Always love the Sound of Music and Wizard of Oz. I would've loved to have gone to see Gone with the Wind at the movies - my Grandmother told me how she paid a whole shilling to see that...

On the corny side - Love Young Einstein, also very young Tom Burlinson and Nicole Kidman in Windrider - only because this one was filmed in WA and I found it really hard to believe this guy could windsurf from Mandurah to Trigg in a really short time - think I need to locate a copy of this one on video.:)

Although I hate to admit it any of those corny 80s comedy romance...you know the ones - where the knight in shining armour sweeps the girl off her feet and it's all happy fairytale endings.:p

Not technically a movie but I have spent the last 3 weeks watching, in sequence, the WHOLE Buffy series! My SIL lent them to me a few weeks ago and I am now watching it at every opportunity. I'm currently in the middle of series two, so a long way to go yet. Finding the time to view is hard (definately only when the children are at school or in bed asleep). I have to find a balance between watching Buffy and being on bubhub. Hmmmmmm..........:rolleyes:
