Marvelous Movies

Now for all those who prefer the screen to paper, here are my very favorite movies. These are the ones I watch over and over, often when I’m falling asleep at night. Some classics, some pure chick flicks, some just so bad they just make me smile, so they may do the same for you! And it’s definitely not all inclusive – just what I could think of off the top of my head or spotted in my personal film library as it was being packed for the US. I’ll keep adding to this as I think of others and as I continue to watch … And you can look any of them up on www.imdb.com – the best movie database site.
