MGM - that was me asking [forgot to type my name again]...

Despite my adult life of lefty liberal progressive social / cultural politics..

I still love cowboy, war, and space movies...

Can't help it, I'm a product of a 1960s council estate TV enthralled childhood...

[apparently us lefties are allowed to admit to enjoying some sci fi ...???]

Thanks, there are films on your list that have passed out of my memory
that i can check out again.....



..anyway, I'll say a mixture of encyclopaedias, wide ranging TV viewing, and American super hero comics
all gave me the breadth of knowledge and interests & immagination to pass the 11 plus and 'move up' to grammar school...
