How could I forget 'West Side Story' - one of the greatest musicals ever - and such a bittersweet love story.

Love 'The Way We Were', 'Sleepless in Seattle', 'Big', 'Saturday Night Fever' (language a bit much for my delicate ears though!), 'The Matrix', 'Die Hard' - oh, there are sooooo many.

Any film from the 30's and 40's too - especially the Frank Capra ones (or similar) - they are magical and could never be remade because they belong to that era - a much more innocent time. I know they remade 'Shop Around the Corner' as 'You've Got Mail' but it just wasn't the same; James Stewart wasn't in it for a start! I loved that man.

Also loved Montgomery Clift (the younger ones amongst you will wonder who on earth he was) - he was a really good actor and absolutely gorgeous to boot. He starred in a couple of pictures with Elizabeth Taylor when they were both young and oh so beautiful.

Anyway that's enough reminiscing. Sorry to waffle on but you've got me on one of my favourite topics.
