Lebowski Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 This movie came out in 1963 when I was 11. It's the first movie I remember seeing in a theater and is still one of my all-time favorites.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have a copy. Under a sawbuck on Amazon. Back when great movies were "G" rated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If I'm ever feeling down about anything big or small, I can put that DVD in and smile for the next couple of hours. Cool flying '57 Ford photo, by the way. It would be even cooler to see it "landing." 😄 Edit: Hey, that would make a decent caption...."Clear for landing on runway #3...over."

caddyshack Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I always thought that a vehicle that had 4 wheels and flys was a garbage truck. This must be a close cousin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 On second glance, I'm amazed how high up in the cabin the two guys in the car are (no, I'm not making a controlled substance reference. 😄) No seat belts? That adds a whole new dimension of "excitement" to the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every In-N-Out location I’ve looked closely at has palm trees, sometimes fake, often crossed, as a reference to that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
