Saw this from @Texreader - Five movies I could watch repeatedly
Any Audrey Hepburn movie really, but Breakfast at Tiffany's is my favorite
I could watch the newer live action Disney Cinderella repeatedly as well, but GusGus is much cuter in the Cartoon
I can repeat line for line The Sandlot and the majority of The Goonies
And Young Frankenstein is hilarious, Gene Wilder ❤️
There are many more movies I could watch repeatedly, lol

For the classic movie fan and newcomers alike. Menus including a cocktail and one or two food recipes plus entertaining tips are built around a single movie. Clever idea for a book. I made the Casablanca dinner and French 75 cocktail to go with the movie. It was a hit!
