I love both

The scene where Alvy and Annie are at their psychiatrists, which looks like a split screen scene, was actually shot simultaneously on one set with an adjoining wall.

Annie's outfits, which caused a brief fashion rage, were Diane Keaton's own clothes.

Duel (1971)

The best TV Movie of all time?

Spielberg maintains the tension, suspense and creeping sense of threat throughout. A perfect audition for Jaws a few years later.

Star Trek: Enterprise "Flyby" music by Sol Kaplan and Alexander Courage This is the first appearance of this music cue, from the episode "The Enemy Within" (1966)

Film and TV composer Sol Kaplan, BOTD (1919-1990) scored just two "Star Trek" episodes in the 60s, but his music was some of the best for the original series.
His "flyby" cue from Season 1 is one of the most recognizable and iconic gems in the entire Star Trek sound world.
