The Manchurian Candidate
In Harms Way
Citizen Kane
How to Kill a Mockingbird
Just to name a few. The Manchurian Candidate was way, way ahead of its time. Very intrigueing and emotional/sad at times.

To Kill a Mockingbird
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Bridge on the River...
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
and of course Spartacus
My uncle was Kirk Douglas' stunt double in all the old movies. When you see Spartacus hanging on the cross, that's my uncle. My aunt has a bunch of glazed autographed coffee cups that John Wayne used to give out on the sets of his movies too. Lots of cool old Hollywood western stuff.

I may have missed it, if they have already been mentioned, but a couple that I think should have been are:
1. Midway- Starring everyone who was still around in the mid seventies.
2. Casa Blanca- The only chick flick that any man should ever see...Bogart is smooth....:cool:

Is that the one with Spencer Tracy and the sea and his little boat and the big fish (in black and white)
Or is that "The old man and the sea"?
I don't really care for Casablanca, it is ok....my favorite part is when the french policeman is closing down the bar for gambling and saying how shocked he is that there is gambling there and a waiter comes over with his winnings....
