    I thought this was Jesus when I was a baby.

    and I got Mary Magdalene confused with the Holy Mother, so I thought the Holy Mother was Asian.
    and Judas was black.

    .. And that's kind of how it is in my head now, because of this;
    Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

    This...
    Was one of the first movies I ever remember watching.
    (Duel) 1971...

    I was a baby when I saw it, and liked it, and was so young, I called it 'The Naughty Lorry'.

    Modern Classics for me include;
    Forrest Gump (1994) - just because it was so stupid, but; done well.
    Toy Story (1995)
    The Matrix (1999)
    Kill Bill Vol 1(2003)

    And let's not forget Director James Cameron, with his Terminator, Aliens, Titantic, Avatar self. Like a modern day Titanic finding Alfred Hitchcock he is.

    A movie you can't stop watching, you just have to see the end.
