I've seen Duel and Maybe I'll Come in the Spring and I enjoy both of them. I own Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring on VHS.

From 1993: Barbarians at the Gate (HBO). - that should have been James Garner's Emmy.

Great list! Too bad most of them cannot be viewed. I would love to see "Isn't It Shocking" again.

I need to pull out One Of My Wives is Missing and Murder By Natural Causes -- haven't watched them in ages!

Remembered another one yesterday ---

Jane Eyre (made in 1971 I think)

George C Scott as Rochester - Susanna York as Jane. Musical score by John Williams!

I also love Murder By Natural Causes! Fantastic movie. I just pulled out my old vhs copy not too long ago. I need to rewatch it!

I also adore Pray for the Wildcats. Andy Griffith is so underrated in his bad guys roles! Remember Savages?
