Hey Flora. Thanks for the information on our newest page. Tally count. 19 for Dan. 17 for me and you combined….9 for you and 8 for me. I have seen 3 of your favorites and one of your “others”. Sunset Blvd is my favorite of her movies. Good stuff as always.
I have seen all of her films except Dumbbells.
Hey Dan. So why you not seen Dumbbells? I thought you were a movie fan. What a slacker!……lol. Your tally tops the combined total of me and Flora. Thanks for the feedback.
