"The Moon-Spinners": This 1960s Disney movie stars Haley Mills. The movie is set in Greece. Mills befriends an Englishman while solving a mystery.

"Swiss Family Robinson": John Mills and Dorothy McGuire star in this movie about a family who has been shipwrecked after they are attacked by pirates. They must overcome nature and the pirates.

"A Long, Long Trailer": This movie stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez. Ball and Arnez play newlyweds on their honeymoon while pulling their trailer around the country. Each destination is a new experience and laugh.

"The Parent Trap": Once again, this stars Haley Mills in the original "Parent Trap." Two separated twins meet at a summer camp and discover they are sisters. They decide to switch places when getting ready to leave for home, but will they be able to fool their parents?

"Rebel Without a Cause": James Dean and Natalie Wood star in this 1950s movie. Dean plays the ultimate bad-boy Wood is attracted to. The movie has its gang fights, drag-racing and sad moments. It is really easy to fall in love with this movie since James Dean stars in it.
