FILM: 12 outstanding classics

10 April 2020.

Dear frustrated cinephiles, would 12 classics satisfy you for the coming week? These are all outstanding films that will once again take you into another realm, whether musical, romantic, thriller or a boxing classic. Many of these can be found on YouTube or other sites (as I said, ask your kids). 

More next week, as long as this quarantine lasts…

Do stay home, use those masks when you go out, and stay healthy.
