I adore classic Hollywood movies and love historically themed films! I like to relax a little on the weekend and unwind with a few old movies and one never-before-seen film from my Netflix que. I am a sucker for old black & white and technicolor comedies, dramas, vaudeville, crime, mystery and romance movies. In honor of this tradition, I thought that I would share with my readers the films that I plan to watch this weekend, a few of which you can watch too if you have Turner Classic Movies available on your cable or satellite stations.
Sunday's lineup includes two great films on TCM, including Lucky Me and Broadway Melody of 1940.
