Oh, how I love We're No Angels. OH, HOW I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! It is so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI also like Some Like it Hot a lot, and Help! is just wacky fun. My husband once dressed up like Ringo from that for Halloween, complete with big, goofy "ring pop" ring he couldn't get off his finger. Good times.
Haha that's awesome! Ringo is the best :)
