It is a great question Kirby. For me there are so many, but two movies that had a huge impact on me as a child were Them and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane...just couldn't shake those movies for years. The movie that had the most impact on me overall and led to my career in writing and film was To Kill a Mockingbird, which is still my favorite film to this day. It always amazes me that this southern woman, who grew up in the Depression south, had such an amazing spirit to write this story and it impacts me every time I watch it..it is still a film for me that, after a stressful day at work, I can go home and it brings me solace...Happy Holidays everyone.........Sue - Hollywood Poster Frames Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 14:03:15 -0500 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] My 2014 MOPO THINK-ABOUT-IT QUESTION To: [email protected]
Kirby, Great Question, When I was a kid visiting my grand parents in CT while on summer vacation, my grandfather to me to Town (Mancheser, CT) and he dropped me off at the local theatre (single screen, of course) and I saw Wm.Wellman's "The Next Voice You Hear" w/ James Whitmore and Nancy Reagan.(1950) I am not sure what moved me,but that movie has stuck with me all these years and still now and then, pick it up and watch it. Perhaps as a child it opened up a great deal of questions for me and the manner it was delivered. Number two is and early film; not sure when I saw it, but it, the love and generosity of the theme "stuck with me" again, all these years. "Sunday Dinner For A Soldier" w/ Anne Baxter, John Hodiak, Jane Darwell and Charles Winniger (1944). Let's just say, I loved the films and didn't remember them for a week or so after leaving the theatre, but remember them until this day....................Vaughn -----Original Message----- >From: Kirby McDaniel >Sent: Dec 23, 2014 10:06 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [MOPO] My 2014 MOPO THINK-ABOUT-IT QUESTION > >Mopolians, > >Is there a film that CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
