I don't think he many millennials could sit through a Black and White movie.
I tried to show younger kids Bugsy Malone with Scott Biao, but they were very fidgety and had low attention span.
I must have watched it a dozen times as a kid.

[Foreigner Looking In.]

I watched the orginal Papillon when I was around ten on T.V with my parents.
Quite shocking as in the first 15 minutes there is a throat slit graphically, and homosexuals sexually assaulting a prisoner.
Remote controls were not around then and it was too late to dash to the T.V to turn over.
Another great movie by the way. (not the remake)

I read the book (twice) in Jr High. Not so sure I believe it even though it's supposed to be a true story. Who is going to leave an island where you are sleeping with two sisters to go and get captured again?
