Slim Pickens plays Major T.J. "King" Kong, a U.S. pilot flying his bomber loaded with nuclear weapons when he receives orders to attack the Soviet Union. The other planes are recalled or shot down, but Kong evades the missiles shot at him and completes his mission in a very unique way. This movie is both thought-provoking and amusing. The film received four Academy Award nominations (Best Picture, Actor (Sellers), Director, and Writing). A real classic.

  Sammy (Matthew Modine) was left on a bus headed for Georgia by his mother when Sammy was 10. Since she had told him not to say a word if they were separated, he never spoke. He was taken in and grew up as a handyman, but, true to his mother's admonition, he stayed silent. People in town assumed that he could not hear nor speak, so would confide in him when they needed to talk. Then along comes Archibald (James Earl Jones), the junkman, who learns the truth. Not bad. Made for TV.
