It's only a mental list. I try thoroughly to live in the present. Movies are the only nostalgia I allow myself. An opportunist, me. A bit like you, maybe, given your comment about not buying/owning DVD's. Nor do I, actually.When I offered help in finding "A Vertical Ray....", I know my son has it in his collection. If you have trouble, I'll loan his to you. It would be my pleasure to do so.
But, it may be fun to collect my thoughts about favorites. Give me a little time. I'll start with 20 or so. Not in any particular order. And I will make no qualitative claims, just things I like and which have enrichened my life.
When I was only five years old my grandmother began taking me to the movies. I remember the two of us doing silly things like crossing the railroad tracks by crawling under the cars to get to the three theaters in our small downtown. We'd go early on Saturday, see two or three movies - sometimes double features (remember those?) - plus serials. It was heaven. Truly fantastic. One of her great gifts to me. I've loved movies - and still love that word - all my life.
So, give me a day or so and I'll post some of the MOVIES I want to take to heaven when I go. LOL.
