I have seen, and loved, Detour, reportedly the very first movie of the noir genre ever made.

On a lighter note, I loved The Mountain, starring Spencer Tracy. A neat, enjoyable drama focusing on courage and character.

There are two comedies Peter Sellers made that may have become more well known over the years, but were sleepers: The Party, and Being There. If you love Peter Seller's humor, you have got to watch these. Better, imo, than even the Pink Panther series.

“The Mountain” co-starred Robert (RJ) Waggoner. Good movie.

A play on words, I enjoyed “Spencer’s Mountain” starring Henry Fonda, Maureen O’Hara and James MacArthur. It was the basis for TV’s “The Waltons”.

Try “The Stunt Man” with Peter O’Toole released in 1980.
