Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Skip-it - Dick Van Dyke stars in this holiday-ish children's musical about a wacky inventor with a flying car.

Bambi

Buy-it - 69 years after Disney's famed baby deer first lost his mother and left theater floors flooded with tears, he'll leave you sobbing on your couch at home in just 70 minutes and 950 words or less.

Alice in Wonderland

Rent-it - The classic animated version of this film is much better than the recent Tim Burton/Johnny Depp theatrical release, which is scary and weird, instead of strange and fun.

Ben-Hur

Buy-it - Ben-Hur won 11 Oscars and deservedly so -- this epic action film is pure Hollywood entertainment and so is its star, Charlton Heston as a rebellious Israelite Jew who takes on the Roman Empire.

The Killing

Buy-it - Stanley Kubrick's third feature film about "one last heist" gone awry is as dramatic as any movie he made.

Easy Rider

Rent-it - Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson star in this now-dated, ultimate road-trip film about two hippies and their chopped hogs.
