MacArthur
Gregory Peck stars as that old soldier who shall return.
Macbeth
Shakespeare tragedy. The haunted Macbeth stops at nothing to gain the throne.

Starring Nigel Hawthorne as King George III, the British monarch who lost the American colonies.
Major Barbara

The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit
Gregory Peck plays a young New York executive who defies the wisdom of the corporate class by deciding his family is more important than the offer of a new job.

Based on a novel by Sloan Wilson, the script and direction are by Nunnally Johnson.
The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg
A mysterious stranger shows up in an honest town. By Mark Twain.
The Man Who Would Be King
Two delightful English soldiers journey to Kafristan to become kings.

By Rudyard Kipling.

Marie Antoinette
Starring Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power.
MASH
A black-comedy of a crazy medical unit during the Korean War. This exceptional movie stars Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall, and Gary Burghoff. As antiwar as they come.
