    Ven,

    You've brought back some memories with The Great Race. We used to watch that every yr back when they used to play it like The Wizard of Oz.

    Wait unitl Dark. Now that was a thriller. Wear some gloves to keep yourself from biting your fingernails off.

    The In-laws. Peter Faulk is one of my favorite actors of all time (see The Great Race above) This is a classic piece of humor.

    There are lots of good classics and most of mine have already been mentioned.

    Not sure if anyone listed "Singing in the Rain" or "To Kill a Mocking Bird"

    (There is a house just down the trail from mine. I have asked several people including my mother when she visited the US a couple of years back, who's house does that remind you of and they all say Boo Radley's!)

    I agree with Booze Runner, Sidney Poitier is a fine actor and was one of my favorites when growing up. I read his autobiography (This Life) a good while back and I think he has updated it or written a follow up.

    Regarding "the Song of the South", I recently learned (a letter in Newsweek) that the film is not available in the US for politically correct sensibilities. Is it available in Canada on video? What about Europe? The actor, James Baskett won an honorary Oscar but is never seen in the US in this Disney classic.
