tHe "H" reminds me of America's first handful of albums all starting with an H

According to the DVR, I recorded "Harper" a few weeks ago. I'll try to see it soon, thanks for the reminder

A few that weren't mentioned was "Boy" (1966), interesting Japanese movie and "La Caza" (The Hunt) for Spanish - I'd love to see more like that.. Fine writing, conversational, tension, and in a setting/situation that allows interesting things to happen. As well as "Dry Summer" - a fine Turkish movie with a really good story, acting, very captivating.

Lots of my favorites mentioned so far. Here are two not mentioned yet.

Cat Ballou


Bye Bye Birdie

 

This is one of my favorites...it made such an impression on me as a kid. I watch it about once a year. I also like the old Vincent Price movies based on the Poe tales, the Fall of the House of Usher, Masque of the Red Death, etc...

 

I've seen it a couple of times lately, as well as once in 1961, and I've become quite fond of The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills.

I seem to recall enjoying Summer Holiday with Cliff Richard but I think I would want to see that one again before I conclusively add it to a favourites list ...
