1965 — The Sound Of Music

This pioneering musical, considered one of the greatest “feel good” pictures, has brought laughter, music, and love into the homes of generations of audiences. Maria (Julie Andrew) is far from the ideal nun, with too much spirit and a bright smile. Her contagious personality serves her well when she is appointed governess to Captain Von Trapp’s (Christopher Plummer) seven children.

1966 — The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Whether you’ve seen it or not, this spaghetti western is unquestionably the cornerstone of the genre. Its whistling, howling primary theme has permeated popular culture, as has the man who regularly walks into frame with it — Clint Eastwood, who established himself as the undisputed king of cool. Three fully developed characters outwit and try to outgun each other in a pursuit for Confederate gold, which leads to cinema’s finest Old West standoff and shootout. With impeccable timing, director Sergio Leone leaps from a broad expanse of a wide shot to a sweat-dripping extreme close up of Eastwood’s calculating gaze, while Ennio Morricone’s haunting and triumphant score produces tension beyond equal.
