I heard about a movie and found a copy to watch. it's not the kind of movie most people would enjoy as it is composed almost entirely of dialogue. To explain, it is mostly a dialogue of intellectual argument between the main character and his close friends for the past 10 years, when he reveals that he is a 14,000 years old (cro-magnon) man.
That is not a "spoiler" as that is revealed close to the beginning.
This movie was a final screenplay written by Jerome Bixby, who also wrote "Requiem for Methuselah", a Star Trek episode from the original series which involved the very same concept.
It might be pointed out that this is a movie that should not be watched by someone with strong religious convictions.
I found the movie interesting because it involved giving a point of view regarding what everyone knows about the "facts" of history.
This has been a regular Easter movie with my friends for 5 years now. I don't care for it that much, but you gotta have traditions.
