    That was neat to read what you have seen. It surprises me that you haven’t seen To Kill a Mockingbird and Gone with the Wind. I think you must ! Also The Best Years of our Life…post WWII
    Put them on the top of your list to view.

    Harry hasn’t been able to speak because he’s been watching so many movie!

    93??!!!! That’s impressive.

    I have seen “To Kill A Mockingbird” but it was in high school or middle school and I slept through it. To young to appreciate it, I guess.

    I’ve seen 65. Andrea has seen 67.

    More interesting would be figuring out how many of my 65 I would NOT have seen had I not married my Classics loving wife :-)
