Hey Flora….thanks for the thoughts on Barry Levinson…..he is somewhat of a local hero around here….granted…Baltimore is a ways from Va Beach (about 4 hours)…..but Baltimore has had an influence on our area for awhile. I have seen 28 of his movies…or 4 times your tally. I like all of your favorites…..and I have seen all of your “other” movies. Good stuff as always.

  2. Good new page. Mr. Levinson is somebody my family knows, though I have not personally met him, but my grandparents spoke highly of him and his family. His Avalon apparently has many connections to their lives as well.
