Im sitting here after work and pulled out the Last of the Mohicans and Im wondering what my fellow freepers like for there favorite movies. I would like more for my collection of dvds. Current and older movies? Doesnt matter what it is.
Just a little break from the daily news and politics.
I have quite a few that I like and Im looking for more. Hit me back

I need a laugh my life's way to serious anyway.
