Is the word...

So I was thinking about old, fun, movies, that make feel happy and make me smile...and there is some type of reunion ('tis the season) of the best musical show of the era...Grease...John Travolta ( he who couldn't miss) and Olivia Newton John starred and it was a pleasure from the get go...OK, they don't all have to be fun stuff, but the epoch films were so , that they transposed you back then...
Another that I absolutely love...American Graffiti...with the all star cast on a typical "gut" night...so cool and the music was legendary...Ron Howard,Cindy Williams, Richard Dreyfuss...the innocent off to college feeling...the chase...all wonderful stuff...
A Bronx Tale...DeNiro's first...the Doo-Wop in this flick is awesome...
A Hard Day's Night...the Beatles...as millions screamed...at the screen!
Woodstock...just a day in the life of...every Vietnam protester on the east coast...
Apocalypse Now...just some military boys doing their duty in Vietnam...
The Godfather...any of the three...great great great
Saturday Night Fever...JT again, that was another trend setter...
The Sound of Music...Julie Andrews...I avoided this way back when...and have been mesmerized ever since...
Goodfellas...just seemed like real life...I guess with a great sound track...
Get out and rent them kids...

Some others: "To Kill a Mockingbird", though black and white still puts a lump in my throat and is a great period piece.
"The Temptations" This movie has some talented actors playing, dancing and singing the rise and fall of this motown group. This is the movie not the documentary.
