Solo (1972)
A man, a mountain and a frog.
This is about as good as a movie with 1 actor and no dialog can get. If you think that 1 actor and no dialog cannot be the recipe for a good movie, you can use Solo as your prime evidence!
But... if you miss the early '70's and need a quick hit, find a copy of Solo to view. I promise that it will have you running back to the present almost instantly!
There's a message in this movie, somewhere, hidden, deeply hidden and (apparently) forgotten...
I wonder what does happen when you put a tree frog in a cold mountain stream?
X-15 (1961)
Oh, come on, have some fun!
OK, so X-15 isn't the best of Hollywood, but it IS the 2nd best X-Planes movie ever (second to Right Stuff, but better than Space Cowboys).
Call it a docu-drama, call it campy, call it naive, whatever. This is a great Saturday afternoon movie. It's a blast to see MTM and Charlie Bronson together. Those of us with a fascination with historic aircraft love the authentic footage. Hey, the movie even got a mention in Milt Thompson's Book "At the Edge of Space: The X-15 Flight Program".
So, do your best to find a copy, forget Soviet comparisons, check your mind at the door and enjoy X-15!
