When George and I were growing up together we used to watch the same movie up to 6 times per sleepover.  YOUNG GUNS may have been the first on that list.  The second was Leonard Pt. 6.  These videos I am going to throw up are not meant to compete with the real Canyon Candy movie by the way — (in production this week!!!).

Without further ado
