I love all your choices. I like to keep my favorites around to watch at least once a year. Great article!
Some of those movies are good! Thanks for sharing.
Great movies! The only one I would never watch is Old Yeller. I remember crying as a kid at the end of that movie, and I am pretty sure if I saw it again as an adult I would still cry.
