Bonus non-horror pick: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1949)
Mark Twain’s novel gets a musical adaptation starring Bing Crosby as a mechanic who time-travels from 1912 America to Camelot, circa the Knights of the Round Table, where he finds love with a beautiful noblewoman, dazzles everyone with his knowledge of modern inventions (including matches), and inevitably runs afoul of power-mad wizard Merlin. A solar eclipse comes into play when our historically savvy hero—who’s eventually returned back to 1912—“predicts” its arrival, terrifying his foes into releasing him.
