• Installment 8 of Best Picture Oscar Winners and a really fun film, if you haven't seen it.

• The Best Years of Our Lives, 1946-the first mention of divorce in a movie that I can remember. The first movie I saw where I thought this is a movie made for adults to be seen by adults, and not just entertainment. Based on a novella-Glory for Me by MacKinlay Kantor.

• Kirk Douglas wanted to be Ben Hur (how different that performance would have been) but was turned down. Kirk made Spartacus a year later, which to me was a better movie.

• West Side Story-1961, what a shock to discover they fired Jerome Robbins due to budget over-runs! And that Elvis and Bobby Darin turned-down the role of Tony.

• The big surprise in reading this series is I didn't know I'd get current and future events! When you get to Titanic, you find out it was the 1st film to hit the billion dollar mark in profits. And held that for 12 years, until Avatar surpassed it. Then that there will be a 3-D version of Titanic on April 6, 2012.
