Thank you TCM......

I love old movies. I can't believe it took me this long to get into them but now I am catching up on all he movies I've heard my mother talk about and as is the usual epiphany with her......she was right. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" rocked my world and as ashamed as I am to say it I just this year saw "Singing in the Rain" and it was brilliant. "The Graduate" was a little creepy for me but "Under the Yum Yum Tree" was quite delightful. It is true I judge a good movie by how fabulous the clothes are and the gowns are so fantastic in classic films I am constantly engaged to see what they will wear next. Also the social decorum is so foreign that it's a thrill to watch. The dialogue is almost as hard to follow as a European film but the insults are incredibly more creative which makes it all the more entertaining. Since I'm a history buff I love watching films from these amazing time periods as they are happening, I find it....for lack of a better word...COOL! Plus classic films are such a breath of fresh air from the usual daily programming.
