Recommend a movie that you think would make most people nostalgic.


Just give me any movie recommendation that you think will make me nostalgic. Recommend something that you think, watching it, would make most people feel nostalgic. I am not giving you any details about me like my geographical location or age or anything to attract different kinds of movies.

When I was very young, it was a tradition to show The Wizard of Oz on thanksgiving night.

For a very young child ,that is a marvelous film. I think it probably still is - I hope so.

I think the thing that will keep it a classic forever is the fantastic cast. For example, Ray Bolger was so talented he was a headliner in Las Vegas.

I'm inclined to agree. It was an annual movie I always looked forward to as a kid. Then there's the added element of having lived in Tornado Alley a good portion of my life.

So did I. We lived in a valley in a northern suburb of St. Louis, and all the tornadoes came thru there. One time when I was four, remember being in the basement with my family, riding one out. It tore the roof off the old St. Louis Arena.

I had one bring a huge locust tree on top of my house one year. It covered my entire front yard after it fell. After it was removed, there was a high spot on the lawn, resembling a pitcher's mound where it had stood. One year, on Earth Day, I planted a golden maple tree in the center of that mound. That's a hardy tree, always growing fast and well. Its leaves are now in the process of changing. https://www.dreamstime.com/golden-maple-tree-autumn-vertical-close-up-shot-beautiful-image169424057

UHF, you would have to have been around before the Era of HDTV to know what UHF even means plus I just love it as an 80s comedy.
