Dead of Night is a very interesting anthology of horror stories. An architect arrives at a house, meets a group of strangers … And he knows all of them, from a recurring dream. It turns out that each of them has a story to tell … And the psychiatrist dismisses all of their stories. Finally, there’s an unexpected conclusion, that is quite fitting.

I’m very conflicted writing this review of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  I loved it as a child, but I have trouble enjoying it as an adult.  Time Magazine began its review saying the film is a “picture for the ages — the ages between five and twelve” and that’s probably accurate. Even as an adult, I truly enjoy the various musical numbers (especially with Dick Van Dyke at the fair, performing Me Ol’ Bamboo, and several others). As well as the first half of the movie, up until the fantasy dream sequence.
