7. The Ten Commandments with Charlton Hesston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, John Derek, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo and Vincent Price

A fairly accurate Biblical account of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt. Brynner is great as Egypt's Pharaoh and Ann Baxter is a beautiful Nefretiri. Charlton Heston, in his best known role as Moses, leads approximately three million Jews (some say less/more) from Egypt to the Promised Land. Miracles, disasters, adventure and romance.

8. All Mine To Give with Glynis Johns and Cameron Mitchell

Probably one of the most tear-jerking movies I have ever seen, and I was only 10 years old. I am much older but have never forgotten this movie. AMTG enjoys a cult following mainly because it is unforgettable. Mom, Dad and children and drama, more drama. Add this one to your must see list and have tissue box nearby. Now on DVD.

9. Cinderella - Walt Disney Cartoon Film

Once upon a time....as in most Disney movies, this one starts with sadness and continues with abuse. Some children are sensitive to subject matter. A beautiful ending . When available, add this classic to your collection.

10. Shenandoah with James Stewart and Doug McClure

A people story set during the Civil War. Family trying to do the right thing gets caught up in the center of harm's way. Touching, well written and scenery is magnificent.

11. Back Street with Susan Hayward, John Gavin, Vera Miles and Charles Drake

Another tear jerker. Susan Hayward is radiant and exceptional as fashion designer, Rae Smith. Romantic novel by Fannie Hurst with many disappointments and heartaches. This is my favorite of all the versions.

12. Hallelujah Trail with Burt Lancaster and Lee Remick

Funny, funny and funny. Watch this one with no interruptions. Temperance ladies attempt to destroy alcohol shipment to Denver miners. Alcohol escorted by US cavalry, followed by Sioux Indians Tribe. They all collide in the desert during an unbelievable wind storm. Hilarious!
