Which of today's movies would you watch?
I Am a Camera (1955) is a very good
movie about a writer in pre-war Berlin.
It is based on memoirs by Christopher Isherwood
and followed a play by the same name. It
preceded the musical Cabaret and the film
Cabaret, which starred Liza Minnelli, born
March 12, 1946, and Joel Grey, born April 11,
1932.

Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) is a
very good movie about a race across
the southwest between a '55 Chevy and
a 1970 GTO. This cult classic is on the National
Film Registry. It stars James Taylor, born
March 12, 1948. It is a source of inspiration for
the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea
Memorial Trophy Dash, first begun May 3,
1971. A minimalist classic.

especially Jack Kerouac, born March 12, 1922,
Allen Ginsburg (born June 3, 1926) and

from the 1944 meeting of Kerouac and Ginsburg
through 1977.
