May 25, 20251 yr My favorite one that I recall was a British film called “A Matter of Life and Death” (1946, released in the U.S. as “”Stairway to Heaven”). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Matter_of_Life_and_Death_(film) It’s a unique film. Here’s a scene at the reception room in heaven, where the airmen who died check in. I love when an American bomber crew arrives, they all come in like a mob and head straight for the Coke machine: Edited May 25, 20251 yr by Mike A Add word

May 25, 20251 yr In 1946 I was about 12 years old. I probably would not have understood the movies listed above. But there is one movie made in 1940 that I do have clear memories of. Walt Disney's Fantasia. Most of all I remember The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment and the music of Night on Bald Mountain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_(1940_film) Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
May 25, 20251 yr Ahhh... Ice Cold Coca-Cola in 8 ounce bottles. I had a 33 RPM record from a radio station once. Instead of running everything live, they played records like these. After the news, which was mostly about the Korean War, we heard this: Quote In these days of rising inflation, it's good to know that some things never change. There has never been a time when you couldn't buy Coca-Cola for a nickel a bottle, a quarter a carton, a dollar a case. And now, back to the 1951 World Series.
