The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County (1970)
Some great life lessons in a feel-good movie
I absolutely adore this movie, and am so sad that it isn't available on VHS, laserdisc, DVD or any premium channels to speak of, since I tend not to watch movies on channels with commercials. Packed with great laughs and touching performances, the movie teaches some of life's great lessons about beauty truly being in the eye of the beholder, love, stereotyping, and yes, even Christianity and forgiveness. My fondest wish is that someone from the Westerns channel would happen onto this gem and pick it up for broadcast during family viewing hours. Maybe even on DVD???? Pop the popcorn, light the fire, and settle in for a feel-good movie that doesn't rely on pyrotechnics, violence, sex or foul language to define "entertainment value."
The Great Toy Robbery (1963)
One of the all-time great Christmas delights!
I first saw this cartoon in December of 1985. In my estimation, it is one of the greatest cartoons ever made! Someone with a sense of humor like mine put this together for the delight of others of my age group and, as a result, all of us baby-boomers could easily laugh until we cry. Too bad that most of the laughs would probably be lost on Generation X'ers and Y'ers! Watch your Canadian TV listing every December -- if you can "happen" across a showing of this, it will be time well spent!
