Memorable Movies 1965

What do A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Goldfinger, Thunderball, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music and Dr. Zhivago have in common? They are all movies I saw in Hawaii in 1965.

Naturally, I liked the music from both of the Beatles' movies enough to get the albums. Curiously enough, this interest resulted in purchases of both previous and future albums. The collection was by no means complete, but did contain several important albums:
