April 2 1968 was the premiere of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
This film finally got Stanley Kubrick his Oscar, for visual effects, not director or writer. Ah well, still a sci fi classic and one of the most visually trippy movies ever. Dave's battle with supercomputer Hal is quite fab.

Feb. 8 1985 was the premiere of Witness.
Harrison Ford delivers one of his best performances in Peter Weir's crime thriller set among the Amish. A very engaging fish out of water story bolstered by Maurice Jarre's towering score, it manages to be both gentle and very suspenseful

#BOTD: Sterling Holloway. What a voice! He was a good supporting actor in 2 Barbara Stanwyck films, as Willie in Remember The Night and Dan in Meet John Doe. He did great voice work for Disney, especially as the Cheshire Cat in Alice In Wonderland and Kaa the Snake in Jungle Book

Herbert Ross' fascinating take on Dennis Potter's story of a downbeat man in the Great Depression who escapes into musical fantasy is brilliant, and it's one of Steve Martin's best roles. The dance numbers are superbly staged

Alfred Hitchcock's David Lynch movie, about the evil lurking beneath the pleasant veneer of small town USA. Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotton are terrific in the gripping script by playwright Thornton Wilder. Uncle Charlie is home

Sept. 2 1955 was the premiere of Killer's Kiss.
Made after Stanley Kubrick borrowed $40K from his uncle, the film looks nothing like his masterpieces to come. On its own, this is a gritty little film noir about crime in the boxing world, with some intriguing cinematography.

You want horror? Mario Bava's gothic masterpiece opens with villagers torturing a witch, driving a spiked mask into her face. Would anyone be surprised that she comes back for revenge? A Bava classic, with the great Barbara Steele.
