Hey I'm Claudia. I love the classic movies and everything to do with Studio Era Hollywood. I guess movies in general really lol.

my old channel is www.youtube.com/xoxclaudia101x ox

My channel is dedicated to every movie, actor and actress I admire. Movies allow me to escape for a couple of hours. They make me shed tears, make me laugh out loud and above all, they inspire me. As for the people in them, that is another story. For someone to be able to convey their true emotions in one look is a talent very few possess. Every decade has produced stars that will shine forever: from Valentino and Garbo, to Cagneyand Dietrich, to Bogie and Bergman, to Monroe and Brando, to Cardinale and De Niro. The directors are the unsung genius' of this world. No one thrilled us like Hitchcock, no one pictured landscapes like Leone, and no one combined their scripts with great shots like Wilder.

I know there are a lot of bad stories about Hollywood. Behind the scenes a lot goes on; good and bad. However, it is what the camera captures that is really important. It can save a moment that will be eternally etched in our minds. It is when all the elements are perfect; cast, director, score, editing, etc. that movie magic can be made.

Marilyn Monroe is my favourite. For someone so scarred and underprivileged, to set themselves the target of becoming the biggest star ever, even when she was constantly criticised by the press, is something on it's own. But the fact that she made it, that is one courageous woman, whom I admire more than any other.

Though my passion is of classic studio era Hollywood, I adore the modern classics from The Godfather to The Lord of the Rings.

I hope that in the future the movies and movie legends will never be forgotten because no matter how much they are copied, they are never equaled.

Music- well my favourite singers are Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Tony Bennett, but most of all... Take That ( best band in the world).
