The Great Escape
From Russia With Love
and the Pink Panther!

I am an unashamed fan of all James Bond Movies and all James Bonds....but THE PINK PANTHER! and Steve McQueen?

heck, there's probably a couple others there (1963) that I haven't seen that I should...I suspect someone will want to slap me for not mentioning The Birds but I really just liked Psycho much better. And neither of those as much as the 3 up there...
