JUST HOW COOL IS THIS

Type in the month, day and year you were born and see a movie trailer of the movie that was showing on the day you were born.

Damn, internet is amazing.

As a plus site also gives the top songs in the year you were born, many free to listen to---

Am not giving away the movie trailer on the day I was born but it starred Mickey Ronnie and Judy Garland. Further surprised as to how long a movie trailer was back in the day.

I'm not going to give away my age but the #1 movie playing was a disaster movie and the #1 could be a good stripper song. The president at the time was a republican.

It was kind of creepy when I clicked on the song that was #1 when I was conceived. It was a Barry White Song.
