I watched Exodus with Paul Newman and Eve Marie Saint a few times recently. I'm still not sure what to make of it. It shows good human stories and explains the events surrounding the creation of Israel accurately. It treats everyone with respect and understanding. I suppose in that regard it did what it was meant to do.
4 hobbits
Tonight I watched "Relax I'm From the Future" with Rhy Darby. A light weight sci fi time travel farce. It was ok.
2 hobbits

4 hobbit is a pretty good I might put it on the list.
The signature tune of Exodus is magnificent. I think nowadays that it celebrates a form of colonialism that grates a bit on today's sensibilities. Still an incredible anthem of those times. One of the great earworms.
