      Nostalgia
      I have watched this movie after 2 decades I guess. When I was a kid for obvious reasons I liked it. Didn't know that I will enjoy watching this even today when I'm all grown up and surrounded by picturesque movies and series.

      There was nothing to complain about such as this composition. Truly timeless.
