We have a dog that can recite "as God as my witness I will never be hungry again". Honest.

My favorite is "To Kill a Mockingbird". Classic in that it was way before its time.

A classic is a movie that can be watched over and over again by all generations, and generations to come and still be great and loved by all.

Lonesome Dove, Gone with the Wind, Dances with Wolves, etc.....

The Sound of Music.

Definitely my favorite.
