Bridge on the River Kwai with Alec Guinness (see it if you haven’t); 1975’s Shampoo with Warren Beatty; The Devil Doll (An escaped Devil’s Island convict uses miniaturized humans to wreak vengeance on those that framed him!!) & The Battle of Algiers

NOVEMBRANCE DAY: Woody Allen’s sci-fi film The Sleeper; then Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlin Brando (pretty good!);
