This is the original with Spencer Tracy and Fredrick March...one of the all time classic "Thinker" movies, fine actinmg and a damn good story to boot.

1. Isn't that the one

about the Scopes monkey trial?

[ForrestGump]

3. Yep

I may be getting mixed up here - been many years since I've seen it - but wasn't Dick Sargent (or York?), the first 'Darren' from Bewitched, the teacher at the center of the trial?

Or have I gone completely nuts? There's always that possibility....

2. I love that movie! From 1960, I believe,

though it applies just as much now. Two great actors - I've long been jaded by 'courtroom' films but this one is exceptional in every regard. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

4. I'll have to check that out - thanks.

I just got through watching a surprisingly great (IMO) movie from a year or two ago. Didn't know it even existed until today - Tully.

It's a story about a father and his two sons on a farm in Nebraska. It's the kind of movie you want to watch again as soon as it's over. It is truly that good.

6. You would think we would learn

but we don, and thus we pay a heavy price for gross ignorance.

It could be so nice, comfort, peace, enjoyment, fun, food, space, luaus, travel, friends from across the sea, etc etc, but we cling to FEAR

7. Yep, Turner Should Play This Movie Three Times A Day...

During each election year!!! These are the fundies that we've been warned about over and over. And now.... They are in control!!!
