Neither do I,but it was the fifth highest grossing movie the year I was born.

Good stuff, guys.

Lots of great classic films listed.....and it's good to see so many of those old TV shows getting aired once again via syndication on some channels...(many of which are still better than a lot of the crap being produced these days)

Good times.
