Tuesday will be my 38th birthday. Birthdays are often a time of reflection. In keeping with that idea, I wanted to explore the films that shaped me into the person I am today.
In thinking back on the movies I watched the most in my youth, I noticed many were adventure stories like “The Neverending Story,” “Labyrinth,” The Last Unicorn," "The Goonies," “Back to the Future,” “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones.”
