They Went That-A-Way & That-A-Way (1978)
This movie caught my eye one evening as I was looking for something to make me laugh. I've enjoyed Tim Conway before in The Apple Dumpling Gang and GUS. Much like Don Knotts (Andy Griffith Show, Apple Dumpling Gang, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken), Tim Conway has a talent for making you laugh without any crude or inappropriate humor. They Went That-A-Way & That-A-Way did not disappoint, it's silly and fun. Before letting little kids watch it, parents should be aware that the wife of the prison warden constantly flirts with the other guards and is seen kissing one of them. Not appropriate, but also very minor and probably would go unnoticed by most kids.
MrsF3 recommends this for the family--enjoy watching two hapless county deputies go undercover in a prison and everything go wrong!

Who should watch it: the whole family (at the parents discretion, maybe with the fast-forward button handy)

Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
This is easily the finest movie I have ever seen. Although many movies that I enjoy make me laugh or cry, want to sing-along, or join in the action, this movie does not do any of those. It is suspenseful, intriguing, and spell-binding.
I believe that this movie is possibly a perfect cinematic masterpiece. No, there are no fancy special- or computer-generated effects, it's not even in color, but it has superb acting, flawless casting, and wonderful story-telling. The outcome is totally unexpected... and you have to watch it to find out!

Who should watch it: adults and older teens
