Favorite movies.... good ol' days

Joanne did an awesome post about things we remember from the good old day. It made me start thinking...what about movies. I have so many favs, ones that i would watch with my Grama and then those from when i was growing up. It seems everyone liked thinking about our childhood so I thought I'd throw out another topic pertaining to it!
Here are mine:
* Gone with the Wind
* Meet Me in St. Louis..Judy Garland
* Christmas in Conneticut
* Weird Science
* Mannequine
* Ferris Buellers Day Off
* Whats Eating Gilbert Grape
* The Cowboys..with John Wayne and the little kids. Fav John Wayne movie

Theses r a few of my favs. I look forward to seeing others!!
Hope everyone is good! Have a great day!
