There are some wonderful classics you haven't seen yet! 'Casablanca' is wonderful, 'Around the World in 80 Days' is an easy watch, I could lend you 'The Godfather'. 'Gone With The Wind' is very, very long! I've seen 23 of these. You've REALLY not seen 'West Side Story'? Something to look forward to, there, then!
ReplyDeleteYes please to borrowing anything on the list. All I remember about Gone With the Wind is that it went on forever - I watched it one weekend when stuck at Uni, on the worlds tiniest black and white tv ever!
