First time watching Cinema Paradiso and as the credits roll I feel warm, I feel sad and I feel nostalgic as I see myself in the young Salvatore.
From a young age, I've always loved movies and I was fascinated by the cinema, always trying to get a glimpse of how the projector worked, remembering how I wanted to work at the cinema to spend all my time connected to the showing of movies. How everyone told me that was…
"The Graduate", a 1967 movie that still holds up!
