For the first film I recommend for the year 2017 I have decided to "stir the pot" and really freak you out with the 1964 psychological thriller, "Failsafe".
Made during the height of "cold war", nuclear tensions between the Soviet Union and America, this movie will keep you stuck to your seat more than an entire tube of Crazy Glue.
The United States appears to have sent a squadron of bombers carrying nuclear warheads to drop on Moscow only to discover it's merely a miscommunication and a technical malfunction. But how does the President convince the Soviets that's it's all just a big mistake?
And once he convinces the Russians, how does he convince his bombers to stand down and return home after they've reached their "failsafe", which is the point at which they've been trained to ignore ALL commands to abort their mission?
It will grab you in the first 5 minutes, keep you thoroughly engrossed and present you with an ending you will NOT see coming.
... and give you and your date lots to talk about when it's over.
Make sure you have lots of munchies available so you don't bite your fingernails down to the quick.

And take note of an amazing supporting performance by Larry Hagman (Yes. The same Larry Hagman of "Dallas" and "I Dream of Jeannie" fame) as the President's Russian translator.

Unfortunately, the upload to YouTube is not the best quality and you'll have to endure a bit of "Chipmunk-Voice", but soon you'll stop noticing it because of the quality of the story.
I hope your Christmas and New Years was filled with good times and is now replaced with the good memories they left behind.
