I pretty much grew up here in Los Angeles. There use to be a program on called
"The Million Dollar Movie" and the same movie played every night at 8:00 p.m.,
twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday. Every week brought a new movie. I had
always been a movie fan but this really got me into viewing every nuance. I saw
movies that I probably would have never seen otherwise, and often watched them
all nine times they were on in a week. Great movies like Damn Yankees, The
Searchers, alot of old westerns and so many more. One in particular was Boy on
a Dolphin that I thought was so great when I was a kid but when watching it
years later, while it had some nostalgic moments for me, the film was not as
great as I remembered it. Ah...those were the good ol' days.
