ANYTHING with Mickey Rooney.
(Except for the last Andy Hardy movie. Very depressing.)

"It stunk!"

**chuckle** I’d say that he might have a bone or two to pick with Mr. Edison.

I still remember seeing this movie on TV when I was 7 or 8. The scene when he jumped on the railroad tracks to save a child is etched in my memory, as it required astonishing bravery and quick thinking.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Because of this movie for years as a kid I thought electricity was generated by a bunch of mirrors reflecting candles around a table.

But the seen where Rooney is tooting the railroad car's whistle in a frantic attempt to warn that "THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" still works great.
