THIS MOVIE IS NOW MY ALL-TIME FAV! 
It's the acting that brings life to the still-relevant themes which make this movie what it is. Tony Curtis (as hot as he can be) is physically chained to the extraordinary Sidney Poitier but by the end of the movies, they are able to overcome their differences and become emotionally chained to each other. Cara Williams was also exceptional in her role as the desperate woman looking for love. I definitely approve of this movie being on the "Must See" list. 
Apparently this movie was made famous again by Hugo. In short, this movie is about six brave men going to the moon. Unlike Apollo 13, they actually made it to the moon! I love this movie just for the fact that it amazes me that such a thing existed in 1902. I would have never associated that year with film production. 
This film never seems to bore me. The first time I watched it was with my Dad a couple of years ago. I gave him the option of choosing a movie to watch in my United Artists Collection and this is the one he picked. Set during WWI, Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas) refuses to continue with the suicidal mission to seize The Ant Hill. Three men are brought to trial for being "cowards" and are subsequently executed. Kirk Douglas's acting is spot on - even though at times I mistake him for his son Michael Douglas. The rest of the men also stood out - particularly Timothy Carey as Maurice Ferol. I recommend that everyone should see this movie more than one before they die.
