Readers Asked: Gerry Maxey Choices of Films to Watch on Valentine's Day

  America in 2024 is a strange, thread bare society;  which believes, that because you have an opinion or skill in one field, you are omniscient in all fields. Because this Blogger believes William Tecumseh Sherman, fresh from an insane asylum,  was the best General of the American Civil War, Readers have asked him to suggest which films to watch on Valentine’s Day. And since this Blogger is a 2024 American; he cannot limit his opinions to General Sherman. Here Goes- 1-     RANDOM HARVEST- THE BEST ROMANCE FILM EVER- a 1942 Black and white film, starring Ronald Colman and Greer Garson. The plot is totally BONKERS…..and yet, it uplifts the power of devotion in love. 2-     PERSUASION- This Blogger once knew a bona fide natural born killer. He was a tunnel rat during the Vietnam War. His favorite all time novelist was Jane Austen. Why? In his words  “ She is the greatest novelist who has ever lived who believes in happy endings; therefore, by default, she is the greatest novelist ever.”
