I am loath to cast a vote without knowing for what I'm voting.
If someone would be so kind as to explain "movies" and provide a summary of each of the options, I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance,
Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear

The Sound of Music is about a nun who becomes governess for a family where the mother had died, and the father was very strict. She teaches them singing and brings happiness back into the household. It's a musical. There's lots of bursting into song and the ending is a little darker than you'd expect when war breaks out.
Casablanca is a love story... sort of. It's set during a huge war that happened during the last century. There's a man who runs a bar in an occupied city, and he comes into possession of some papers allowing free transit around the occupied continent. His ex-lover arrives with her husband, who is a resistance leader and they need the papers to travel to a free country. Um, there's a lot going on, and the ending is kind of bittersweet, but it's really famous. A classic!
King Kong is a classic too! The people above aren't really describing it well. I don't know if it's the original or one of the remakes though. They go to a tropical island to make a movie, but the female star is kidnapped by the natives and is going to be sacrificed to King Kong, a giant ape. But instead of killing her, King Kong rescues her. The film crew rescue the actress, and captures King Kong to take him back to their city and chain him up to put him on display to the public. He escapes and kidnaps the actress and climbs a really famous building until he's killed by the army.
Singing in the rain is another musical and romance. It's a film about films! It's set just as films were starting to include speech rather than being silent. There's a silent film star who dislikes his shallow leading lady, and he meets a woman while running from his fans, who turns out to be a singer. The actor and his leading lady star in a new talking film, but it turns out that the leading lady has a horrible voice so they get the chorus girl to dub it - that's like she does the voice and they match it to the lip movements of the actress on screen. Eventually the deception is brought to light.

War, romance, and monkeys... It seems as though King Kong is the odd one out. However, I may have had enough of war, and I am very curious about movies and films.
Though... which, in your opinion, would prove to be the most informative about Earth?
