One of my indulgences is watching classic movies, and I’m feeling ecstatic just thinking about it. Along with Disney flicks, these were the ones I watched as a child! I loved finding new comedies and dramas with my college buddies, and I have the finest memories of quoting the musicals on this list with my family.
You won’t believe how much heart and soul are in these classic flicks; they’re fantastic! They couldn’t be more dissimilar to movies made in the past thirty years. Retro films don’t need sexual content, extreme violence, or computer-generated imagery to captivate audiences. The actors put up a spectacular performance, the dialogue is clever, and the stories are original and funny.
My sisters and I have compiled a list of our favorite films; I challenge you to choose only three and see how fantastic they are. We hope these genre icons will assist you in finding music that suits your current mood.
If you’re not already a fan of Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn, this might be the turning point.
