Growing up my mom and dad always insisted that we watch movie that were termed "Classics." This genere included all the original Star War movies, (IV, V, and VI for those who dont know) black and white films like The Glen Miller Story, Gone With The Wind, Singing in the Rain,(my favorite) and almost any Audrey Hepburn movie. At the time I never really understood the "big words" or most of the plot but I recently began renting or watching these movies online and I have to say that I have great respect for all of these movies. Today, most movies are based around sex, drugs, or money and most of them have the stupidest story line or have grown into huge, meaningless Hollywood franchises.
These are the movies that my grandparents, and maybe even great granparetns grew up watching. They have great meanings and lessons behind them and are portrayed in classy and respectable ways. So, therefore, I thank both of my paretns for the wonderful lesson in culture.
