19. I'D BE DOWN FOR THIS!

All broadcast outlets would be required to show 24 hours of patriotic movies. My choices include, in no particular order:

1. The Great Dictator (Chaplin)
2. Bananas (Marx Brothers)
3. Casablanca (Bogey and Bergman)
4. All the King's Men (Crawford)
5. Schindler's List (Hanks)
6. Sophie's Choice (Streep)
7. Schindler's List (Neeson)
8. The Longest Day (Wayne, Fonda, Mitchum)
9. Seven Days in May (Fonda)
10. The Manchurian Candidate (Sinatra)
11. Dr. Strangelove (Sellers)

AND OF COURSE!!!


12. Downfall (Ganz)


Feel free to add to the list!
