Answer 9

...a couple of classics that exhue the down-home old-fashioned Americana flavor include "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Of Mice and Men"...

...a couple of outstanding and emotionally moving biographical classics, and two of my personal favorites are "The Miracle Worker" and "Man of a Thousand Faces"..

...some great hilarious and knee-slapping comedies, also some of my favorites, include "The Great Race" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"...

...even as far back as silent era, a very funny, and rather emotionally moving comedy/drama is actor/producer Charlie Chaplin's most excellent 1931 film, "City Lights"...

...a trio of real good, poignant and at the time, controversial films on my 'favorite' list incude "A Patch of Blue", "The Big Carnival" and "The World, the Flesh and Devil"...

Answer 10

Easy Rider
