Orange,

Good idea on the movies. I'll throw out a few that I have enjoyed over the years that might not be popular with today's youngsters [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1) The Great Escape and Stalag 17. Two excellent WW2 movies set in German POW camps
2) Ben Hur - I wish I could see this at an IMAX theatre for the chariot race.
3) Singing in the Rain -- While most people think of it as a musical, it is actually a very funny comedy that stands the test of time.
4) My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's - Two very good movies with Audrey Hepburn. 'nuff said
5) The Manchurian Candidate (original with Sinatra) - Very chilling cold war movie that was released (and pulled) shortly before Kennedy was assassinated.
6) Planet of the Apes (Original) -- The ending, while well known today, was quite shocking at the time and quite chilling, considering the state of the Cold War.
