Lebowski 762 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 post Share on other sites

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."

JamesR 1,073 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 post Share on other sites
