Fave Childhood Movie
One of my fondest memories is waiting in line to see Star Wars for my 9th birthday. What an awesome movie. Still love it to this day. Raiders of the Lost Ark was another. It’s fun introducing my own kids to my favorite movies. The fact that they love them as much as I do is a testament to their genius.
Beauty and the Beast
You might be thinking of the one from Disney, which i did like, but I’m talking about the French one by Jean Cocteau. It was fabulous!
