Time moved
From the Manger to the Cross (1912) ~
It became
Traffic in Souls (1913)
In the Land of the War Canoes (1914)
~
Finally
Broken Blossoms (1919)
Burst into
The Big Parade (1925)
But
Ben Hur (1926)
Glory soon broke into
A Bronx Morning (1931)
~
Gone with the Wind (1939)
Fantasia (1940)
~
To Be or Not To Be (1942)
~
Finally glowed a
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) ~
But
Fleeting hope snuffed
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
~
One leader became a
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
Struggling with bitter memories of
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) ~
There was a
Glimpse of the Garden (1957) ~
But underneath
Psycho (1960)
Ruled
~
It was
The Endless Summer (1966)
For some ~
Endless heat questioned
Why Man Creates (1968)
~
Others danced on
Nonchalantly in
Woodstock (1970)
Or
Cabaret (1972)
~
Befuddled times ruled by
The Godfather (1972)
Began
~
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Staged
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
~
Time locked into
Star Wars (1977)
~
This was a time
Stranger Than Paradise (1984)
~
Drums of Winter (1988)
Rolled on ~
Daughters of the Dust (1991)
Cringed
Longing for a
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)
~
Is
Eden (2006)
Really
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)?

You've done a fine job here with your thirty titles. I love Gone With the Wind, Miracle on 34th Street and One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. I wouldn't mind seeing all of Girl with a Pearl Earring. I've seen some of it and it was good. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend.
