Some of My Favourite Vintage Films

***************************

***************************

Hello, thanks for dropping by...yes that's me, an hopeless romantic. As a child I spent many a lazy sunday with my mum watching vintage films and I would like to share with you some of my favourite ones from that time and which still remain so to this day. There has been modern adaptations for some of them but for me the vintage ones remain the best....looking at the subjects of the films I've noticed that for most they contain a similar theme of spirits, romance and religious figures. What does that say about me..lol....
