Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Comedy/Drama - based on Truman Capote's novella of a free-spirited witty girl in New York bent on making lots of money charming wealthy men. Plot thickens when a writer moves in upstairs and takes a deep and sincere interest in our flighty hero. Awesome acting by Audrey Hepburn and music by Henry Mancini make this film a smashing success. 1 hr. 54 min.

High Noon (1952)

Classic Western - showdown gunfight is scheduled at High Noon in a small town. The hero is a law-upholding sheriff (Gary Cooper) and the villain is a recently released convict (with outlaw friends) bent on revenge. Problem is the Marshall has no deputies! Looks like suicide for the Marshall but he is full of guts and grit (and other interesting qualities). The music is a delightful departure from the overuse of symphony and FITS the action. Performances are so REAL-(Grace Kelly and Lloyd Bridges appear in this film). Shot in black and white. A must see for anyone who likes Westerns! 111 min.
