Blackboard Jungle - a 1955 movie about violence in schools - and a harbinger about things to come.

King Kong (1933) – “A film crew goes to a tropical island for an exotic location shoot and discovers a colossal ape who takes a shine to their female blonde star.

He is then captured and brought back to New York City for public exhibition.”

My #3 movie of 1976

King Kong (1976) “A petroleum exploration expedition comes to an isolated island and encounters a colossal giant gorilla” – my #3 movie from 1976.

Dr. Sam Sheppard Arrested 27 Days After the Murder of His Wife.

Rocky - my #2 movie of 1976 - “A small-time Philadelphia boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight the world heavyweight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.”

Based on the crime scene and their initial interviews with Sam Sheppard, the cops think Sam murdered his wife.

Taxi Driver - my #1 movie of 1976 - “A mentally unstable veteran works as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City, where the perceived decadence and sleaze fuels his urge for violent action.”

According to Sam Sheppard – the killer was a white biped form – an intruder with bushy hair.

The Sam Sheppard Murder Case caught the nation's fancy back in 1954 - just like the O.J. Simpson case did in 1994.

Ray Stevenson – from good guy Danny Greene in Kill the Irishman – to bad guy Isaak Sirko in 9 episodes of Dexter – and he switched roles flawlessly.
