The only movie songs I've liked over the years are the James Bond film songs. And "Windmills of Your Mind."

A few years back a good gf told me she was at an event with Donald Trump. He was with some unknown date. When she got up to go to the restroom so did my gf. While touching up her makeup my gf complimented The Donald’s date ... and she spilled all.

After watching all the clips, the only films I want to check out are "Ratatouille" and "La Vie en Rose".

And as I posted before, I recommend "3:10 to Yuma" and "American Gangster".
