Film #1: Rebecca

As some of you might already know, this summer has been dubbed, "The Summer of Old Movies." My roommate and I have taken it upon ourselves to watch eighty-one vintage, classic VHS tapes that my great aunt loved. We will be listing them here as we watch them, along with our comments. We hope you enjoy our thoughts as we delve into the grandeur of times past! Now let's grab the popcorn. (:

We definitely recommend this movie! It might seem slow at first, but the twists at the end are quite entertaining. (However, be prepared to get aggravated at the protagonist.)

*This will be used to rate all of the movies, based on Laura Jane's judgment, a completely valid gauge.
