Answer 4

From the '60's - The Great Race - hilarious. The Music Man - I think it was the only time my parents went to the movies with my brother and me. How the West was Won - epic tale of a family's move west. From the '70's - Jaws - kept me out of the water for years. Blazing Saddles - so politically incorrect, but hilarious. The Sting - I loved how Newman and Redford's characters got even. From the '80's - Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves - beautiful scenery, Kevin Costner, Sean Connery. Ernest Scared Stupid - Jim Varney was so funny. Mrs. Doubtfire - Robin Williams - sad, funny, poignant.

Answer 5

Hmmm- the 60's (seeing as I was not born yet) I would have no idea! BUT I loved Pollyana, if that was filmed then, oh and The sound of music. The 70's I would have to say Star Wars, and The Little House movies.
The 80's OH TOO MANY TO COUNT! I loved "Say Anything" and "Pretty in Pink" and "Sweet Sixteen" ---They were cheesy movies, but for some reason enjoyable to watch.
