North by Northwest -- Cary Grant stars as a Madison Avenue advertising exec who is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped by a group of international spies, headed by James Mason.

While falling for a pretty teacher (Diane McBain) with personal problems, a former singer turned high school art instructor (Fabian) tries to help a pot-loving student group stay out of trouble. But in the process, he gets framed for possession of marijuana. Teri Garr and Garry Marshall make early film appearances in this cautionary tale of woe and weed featuring a trippy soundtrack that includes the tunes "Grass Party" and "The Fun Zone."

Romance and racing are fast and furious for Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and Fabian, who swap sand and surf for moonshine and asphalt in William Asher's tire-screeching teen action flick. His trip to Daytona waylaid by bootleggers, Dave (Avalon) makes a small-town stop, where a local boy named Leander (Fabian) challenges him to a street race. Romance with Leander's girlfriend (Funicello) and pesky feds only complicate Dave's good clean fun.

Melodrama about stock car racing has driver Frankie Avalon getting mixed up with moonshiners when he pauses in a southern town to do some racing. Fabian is the local playboy who provides competition for Avalon on and off the track while Annette Funicello is the love interest.

Selected as one of the top 50 American films of all time by the prestigious American Film Institute, and considered by many critics to be Hitchcock's greatest film, this fast-paced thriller stars Oscar-winner Cary Grant ("Notorious," "The Philadelphia Story") as a Madison Avenue advertising exec who is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped by a group of international spies, headed by James Mason ("A Star Is Born," "Lolita"). After a hair-raising escape, he is framed for a murder he didn't commit and goes on the run with the lovely Eva Marie Saint ("Superman Returns," "On the Waterfront"). Famous for a wild plane attack and a harrowing chase across the faces of Mount Rushmore, this is quintessential Hitchcock ("Psycho," "The Birds"). With Academy Award-winner Martin Landau ("Ed Wood," "The Majestic") as Mason's evil henchman, this film is the rare combination of action, suspense and humor.

Led by Sgt. Matt Blake (Scott Brady), a Yankee cavalry unit escorting a prisoner through Indian Territory has no choice but to join forces with a band of former Confederates when both groups come under attack from hostile Apaches. Although the Union boys and the Southerners manage to hang on to their rifles, the Indians up the ante when they steal the interlopers' horses. A young Clint Eastwood received third billing in this 1958 oater.

Set during the Korean War, this hard-charging drama follows tank sergeant Brad Dunne (Don Kelly) and his skeleton crew as they barrel through a storm of enemy fire, letting nothing -- not even a breakdown at cliff's edge -- stop their advance to the front. Pvt. "Skids" Madigan (Frank Gorshin) lightens the load with spot-on celebrity impersonations, but the mission is jeopardized when an ambush disables the tank and leaves the men stranded.

Young minister Gil Allen (John Derek) maintains his boxing skills by working out at a friend's gym but declines offers to fight in an actual staged bout -- until he realizes he could use the prize money to purchase equipment for local polio victims. Keeping his real identity secret and hoping to step away after one big payday, Gil signs a contract to fight for greedy promoter Gus MacAuliffe (Paul Douglas).
