Mister Roberts is a comedy-drama that was made in 1955. It was directed by John Ford and written by Frank Nugent. The movie stars Henry Fondra as "Mister Roberts", James Cagney as "Capt. Morton", William Powell as "Doc.", and Jack Lemmon as "Frank Pulver".
I liked this movie. I believe it was well written and had a great plot. Even though the movie took place during World War Two, and it had no action in it, I believe it still was a great movie. I thought that the movie had many funny scenes such as when Mister Roberts throws the Captains palm tree off the ship because they are fed up with the Captain. I do believe that the ending was a little sad, but it showed that the crew on the ship loved and cared for Mister Roberts.

Something Like it Hot
"Something like it Hot" is a comedy film that was made in 1959 and was directed by Billy Wilder. The movie is stars Marilyn Monroe as "Sugar", Tony Curtis as "Josephine", and Jack Lemmon as "Daphne". The movie is ranked the #2 greatest Movie of All-Time.
I really liked this movie. I thought it was very creative and had a great plot. It had some very funny scenes throughout the whole movie. This was my first movie that I had seen of Marilyn Monroe. She is beyond gorgeous. I thought it was funny how two guys pretend to be girls, just to get away from some mobsters from Chicago. They had to wear heals and dresses and it just made it hilarious. Even though the movie had no color, and was black and white, I do believe it was a great movie. It definitely deserves to be on the list of the all-time greatest movies.

Fantastic Voyage/Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
"Fantastic Voyage" was directed by Richard Fleischer in 1966. The movie stars Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brian, and Donald Pleasence. "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" was directed by Irwin Allan in 1961. The movie stars Walter Pidgeon, Robert Sterling, Joan Fontaine, and Barbara Eden.
"Fantastic Voyage" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" have many similarities and differences between the two. They are both similar as they are both going on a voyage somewhere. They are both going on a mission that are impossible. They are both "Sci-fi" movies. Although they have many similarities, they have many differences. In "Fantastic Voyage" the mission could not be done because we can not shrink people small enough to go into the body. In "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", the mission, and the plot, seems more realistic.
Honestly I did not like these two movies. They both seemed stupid and annoying to me. I do not really like sci-fi movies. I did like "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" more than I liked "The Fantastic Voyage" because it seemed more realistic and had a better plot.

American Graffiti
"American Graffiti" was directed by George Lucas, who later on wrote Star Wars. "American Graffiti" takes place in Modesto, California in 1962. The movie stars Ron Howard as "Steve", Richard Dreyfuss as "Curt", and Paul Le Mat as "John."
I really liked this movie. It was funny and helped how how life was in the 1960's. In the 1960's everyone seems laid-back and does not seem to care about much. I think it is pretty cool that because it was a small town, and all they did was circle around, and drive around the town. To me, that seems like it would be really fun. I liked the plot and the characters. I liked how there was two different stories going on at the same time. You had Steve and Lauri in their situation during the movies, and then there was John and Debbie in their situation.
