My favorite," One Million Years B.C." There were no spoken words in the movie, it was about cavemen, special effects and looking at a scantily dressed Rachel Welch, I still got a crush her.
" Woodstock ", the movie didn't come out till 1970, but it's a live documentary about the 1969 concert.
" Psycho ", Alfred Hitchcock's crazy murderer thriller, one of the scariest movies ever, for it's time.
" Dr. Strangelove or : How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb." Funny theoretical comedy about nuclear war.
" Easy Rider " hippies cross America on motorcycles.
" The Sound of Music " true story of the von Trapp family of Austria. The song "Do, ray, me... " is from this movie.
