Still Quarantined? – 16 Great Movies for Uplifting Your Spirits

At first, the quarantine was like a vacation or holiday. But after awhile, isolation can give you an emptiness in your soul. I think we all need relief from the boredom that can come from isolation.

Weekend at The Waldorf – A Great Remake of a Classic

Weekend at The Waldorf – A Great Remake of a Classic

Weekend at The Waldorf (1945) is an ingenious remake of the award-winning genuine classic. It is lighthearted and intended to lift our spirits.

Grand Hotel is, as of now, the only film to receive an Oscar for Best Picture without being nominated for any other category! This…
