12. I guess you're right but since I saw it at my grandmothers it was B&W!!!
How funny is that. When I saw it in color, I was sure they colorized it.

This is fun!

2. I like several of those!
Since you included The Manchurian Candidate and since it is one of my favorite that people find easy to forget, I'll cast my vote for it.
