TCM for Saturday 2/12

The theme has moved on to Best Score winners and nominees and, I must admit, I am a bit lost amongst this group. There are several I have seen, but none really are films that I would generally include in my favorites. So, with that in mind, here we go.

Recommended
:
To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) - Quite the classic so it must go here. In all honesty, it is a wonderful film, so do see it.
The Magnificent Seven (1960) - Though I recommend it, I have never been able to sit through it again since the first time I saw it. It just doesn't keep my interest anymore.
Jaws (1975) - A very fun and entertaining film.
Papillon (1973) - Another that I recommend having only seen once, but remember it more fondly than Magnificent Seven.
The Pink Panther (1964) - I loved these films when I was younger, but am ambivalent about them now because I know that there are so man better Peter Sellers films out there.
Festival of Shorts #3 (1998) - Not even sure what is in this package, but the shorts will usually have at least one in the group that I am glad I saw.

Highly Recommended:
This is hard to say, but I think I need to go with Mockingbird. Of the films listed for today it is one of the few that I can go back and watch again from beginning to end without losing interest.

Haven't Seen, But Want To:
The Lost Patrol (1934) - It's from the 1930s and directed by John Ford. Of course I want to see it.

Really Not Interested:
The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) - Sorry, no Romans.

The Rest:
The Bridge Of San Luis Rey (1944)
The Big Country (1958)
Superman: The Movie (1978)
