Just re-watched Cabaret (1972) and what surprised me was Sally advising Fritz to basically rape Natalia so she would like him more. After the rape Natalia does fall in love with Fritz. Also they talk lots of sex, not show sex. A loose movie regardless.

I'm the opposite here. The film is heavy with the music of bands I generally intensely dislike (KISS, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper) but the film has taught me to like them. Only in the context of the film though. I'd rather murder myself than listen to Rock and Roll All Night voluntarily.

Or you could just play all of Led Zep 4 and then the singles from Physical Graffiti.

I've seen 11 of 16 so far.
3 of the films that have made it were in my last top favorites list, those being Her, Braveheart, and E.T.
Braveheart is the only film from my list to show so far as it was at 24.

Maybe you can convince me?

He played the wrong album, which I noticed immediately after "Kashmir" came on.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my wife's favorite films, and Gregory Peck is one of her fave actors (Twelve O'Clock High and The Big Country are also among her faves), so I watch Mockingbird often. It didn't make my list, but I think it's a movie. I don't have to reiterate the things people love about it - but I will (HA!) - Atticus/Peck, the trial, the kids (including a youthful Truman Capote), the legend of Boo Radley come to life. What's amazing about the film is that while the characters never get sentimental or teary-eyed, the viewers (well, this viewer anyway) bawl at scenes that hit home close to our hearts. I especially love how the simple opening credits and Elmer Berntein's music set the tone that we're going to see something that happened a long time ago from a child's perspective although the adult narration soon tells us that they're is some worldly-wise hindsight involved in the recollection.
I always liked the dreamlike quality of the film-- the charm of the story being told through the eyes of "Scout" the young daughter, and her frequent lilting narrations.
In the subsequent followup novel, Go Set a Watchman, which supposedly was actually a first draft of what would become "Mockingbird", Atticus Finch is actually a segregationist who was against the civil rights movement, but who nevertheless took the case of a black man accused of a crime involving whites-- solely as a legal justice matter (which was similar to Lee's own father). That, I think, would have been a better story. But Hollywood was determined to hammer home the fashionable social issues, just like they do today.
