Wow! 21 films that's incredible. Can you tell me what were your top
five.
I had the similar experience of keeping my interests to myself. For
my generation,I'm 29, if a movie's not in color then it isn't worth
viewing. However, I fell in love with old films from the first time
I saw King Kong. I was about 5, give or take a year. My father was
up late watching it and I couldn't sleep. So I walked into the
darkened living room with shadows flickering from the tv. I walked
in at the point where Kong was on the stage in New York and I was
terrified and amazed at the same time. Just a few years ago I picked
up a copy of the Vampire Bat and made the mistake of attempting to
watch it at a friends house. :-)
