Day 94 ~ Movies

I haven't had a TV connection for years. I don't have much time, and I find there are much more interesting things to do in life. In the past, I would get the basic channels that could be received with a regular antenna. But a decade ago, when the big switch from analog to digital TV happened in my area, I decided not to get the converter, since I wasn't watching anything anyway. So I've been pretty much TV-free for the past twenty years. I do enjoy a good movie though. And this month, coinciding with an "Amazon Prime" trial I signed up for, we have been watching movies almost every night. Some I had never watched, some I wanted to share with my family, like Green Fried Tomatoes. Although I favor good stories, I wanted to choose from a variety of genres, to educate my son. For that reason, I included an old western (Johnny Guitar, 1954), an old musical (Holiday Inn, 1942), and a environmental documentary (Tomorrow, 2017). All turned out to be great movies. I intended to show him an excellent suspense movie (Wait until Dark, 1967), but he was too scared, so only my boyfriend and I watched it. His all time favorite, and I understand, is It's a Wonderful Life.
