Check Out Sister's Corner

Hi! My name is 'AM' (Antique Movie Lover) and I'm TP's sister. This corner of Theaterpreppy is devoted to people who love the history of cinema, old movie actors, and the legendary films that are still popular today!

I will review and dissect classic movies that I recently saw, and tell if they are recommendable, ("collar's up.") My favorite classic movie actors include Audrey Hepurn, Vivian Leigh, Katharine Hepurn, Clark Gable, Homphry Bogart, Errol Flynn, Gene Kelly, and Fred Astare. My favorite old movies include "Roman Holiday", "Gone With the Wind", "Woman of the Year", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and "Pycho". For great summaries, traliers, and games of movies like these, visit www.tcm.com. If you love classic movies as much as I do, you can also watch TCM, the classic movie channel, on your telivison!
