The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes : 3 of 5

Another ancient Disney feature, this time with a super young Kurt Russell playing a high school student who "merges" (I don't know what else to call it) with a giant computer (this is the 60s, you know) in a freak accident. Suddenly he becomes brilliant, speed-reads encyclopedias, and also knows the secrets of an illegal gambling ring! The whole computer thing is as silly as can be (a doctor looks into his eyes and sees reel-to-reel tapes), but watching his high school friends rescue him when he's kidnapped is hilarious. I definitely wasn't bored - the plot moves along quickly and watching those clean-cut kids in a goofy car chase is pretty funny. It's fun to watch these old movies that I haven't seen before, and even more fun when they're great!
