Star Wars was allright for its genre.

Sound of Music was a classic that my own daughter grew up watching many times... with my blessing. No, I wouldn’t take a date to see it, but for what it was - sort of a wartime Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical - it was great. The child roles were excellent. (Ever wonder why there’s scads of great child actors and few great child everything else? - Me neither... which is why what actors say means next to nothing to me.)

I never saw any of the other movies in the list.

Last night I watched Suddenly, a B movie with Frank Sinatra and Sterling Hayden about an attempted Presidential assassination. It's interesting as a period piece, but then on a lark I looked up the child co-star, Kim Charney, who was in a few B movies and a TV episode or two. So what did he do with his life? Left the sound stage and became a vascular surgeon, still working today at 68. Now that's impressive. The world could use more Dr. Charneys and fewer...I'll let you fill it in.
