4. My mom wouldn't let me watch Rosemary's Baby (I think it was rated R)

We were also told that the Odd Couple was a movie about homosexuality.

But I did get to see Romeo and Juliet and got to see teen heart-throb, Leonard Whiting's naked bum.

That was my first breast shot! I don't remember any "bum".., but to each their own.

14. Hello, long distance. Hook me up to 1940 please

http://www.filmsite.org/1940.html

Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940), 110 minutes, D: John Cromwell
A screen adaptation from Robert E. Sherwood's 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, yet slightly inferior to the previous year's Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) starring Henry Ford

All This, And Heaven Too (1940), 140 minutes, D: Anatole Litvak
An elaborate, overly-long melodramatic,19th century period production from Warner Bros., set in France, and based upon Rachel Lyman Field's novel about a scandalous and tragic real-life murder case in Europe. A philandering French nobleman Duc de Praslin (Charles Boyer) entered into a loving relationship with the governess of his children, Henriette Deluzy-Desportes (Bette Davis).

The Bank Dick (1940), 73 minutes, D: Eddie Cline
A great classic W. C. Fields comedy, with wonderful sight gags and one-liners.

Dance, Girl, Dance (1940), 90 minutes, D: Dorothy Arzner
An early feminist-minded film, and a critical and commercial box-office failure, from pioneering butch-lesbian Dorothy Arzner (and regarded as her best) - one of the few female Hollywood directors at the time, and featuring one of Lucille Ball's better film roles.

Fantasia (1940), 120 minutes, D: Ben Sharpsteen and Disney
An innovative and revolutionary animated classic from Walt Disney (his third feature animation), combining classical music masterpieces with imaginative visuals, presented with conductor Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

More at link. Look up your own.
