OK, so C and I have started a little "thing" this year. We are stuck on Gilmore Girls re-runs. Sappy and sad I know. Our last bonding experience before college. One thing we have taken from the show is that mom and daughter bond with classic movies. That got us talking, we should watch all the classic movies together before the fall. But we realized we aren't interested in those old black and white things. When her grandmother lived with us she tried encouraging C to watch the "classics", until one night we realized that technically,Breakfast Club is a classic-- 1984 right? That makes it 24 years OLD (OK, get off the floor).
So we are on a quest to watch the "NEW CLASSICS" before August. This is where I need your help. I know SOMEONE reads this thing, I have a counter and I don't check my own blog 318 times (well...) If you read this, please leave a comment with a list of classic movies we need to see. What bit of culture would you send out with this young lady about to embark on her own adventures?
NUMBER ONE in my book is above. John Cusak at his best -- Daphne Zuniga at her repressed best... THE SURE THING.
