[i]Fist Fight[/i] is a pretty funny movie and kept me laughing.
[i]The Sleep Room[/i] is a docudrama about experiments done on unwitting mental patients in a Canadian mental hospital back during the MKUltra mind control projects funded by the CIA. It is factually based, and I found it very moving. This one made me cry and I rarely cry over movies.
[i]The Big Country[/i] One of the absolute best Westerns ever made. Best acting, best steller cast (Gregory Peck, Charleton Heston, Carol Baker, Jean Simmons, Burl Ives), brilliant direction by William Wyler. It's a long film but you won't be bored a moment of it. The theme: Staying true to yourself and not letting other people define you, especially, for a man, not letting others define how manly you are by their own skewed standards. A man from Baltimore comes west to Texas to marry a rancher's daughter and finds himself enmeshed in a range war situation over water rights and drowning in an ocean of macho masculinity and it's questionable traditions.
[i]North by Northwest[/i] Hitchcock's masterpiece. A fun loving bachelor advertising executive (Cary Grant) is mistaken by foreign spies for one of their enemies in one of the US government agencies. Trouble multiplies as he tries to untangle the situation while falling for their spy master's girlfriend (Eva Marie Saint).
