    This is what I do not understand about American sports, how your teams can ''up sticks'' and move to some location far away - I think I made a thread about it once. I just cannot get my head around the concept, granted it happened once in Great Britain (Wimbledon to Milton Keynes) but that proved very unpopular. In Britain clubs, whether it be football, cricket or Rugby, are embedded in local identity. 

     

    The most devastating example is when the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. They sort of represented the working blue collar guy going against the big corporate New York Yankees. Always the scrappy underdog fighting for respect. When they left, it really, truly devastated a generation

    Thanks. 

    My streaming box actually has an okay list of old movies but I don't have an idea where to start. 

    I've seen Brando and Bogart movies. Marilyn Monroe stuff. Arty stuff. Ford westerns. But at a glance hardly any pre 68. 

    Hitchcock too. Not sure if they are pre 68. 

     

    All genres welcome?
