And the King and I - I like the musical version with Yul Brenner and the recent re-make with Jodie Foster.


I haven't seen the one with Jodie Foster, Yul Brenner/Brynner makes the film for me.

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I loved "Dangerous Liaisons" w/ Glenn Close.  There are scenes w/ no dialogue where you can see her thoughts and emotions flicker and flash through her eyes and facial expressions, and they are more powerful than any dialogue ever written.  She was also very good in "Fatal Attraction".

Almost anything w/ Robert Duvall is worth watching. I don't think there is anyone who has played more roles in the past 45 years and certainly not of such consistant high quality.  Michael Caine, who I loved in "Second Hand Lions", admitted that in between the characters he would have played for free, there were roles he grabbed just for the pay.  Duvall never has appeared to me to do that with any role he took.  His research for all of his roles would make a great book for acting students and intersting reading for everyone interested in movies, actors, and human nature.  Ed Harris has been in a stinker or two, but I usually love anything he is in.  His portrayal of Jackson Pollock was great!

Kevin Spacey is another actor I watch for.  I fell in love with his acting when he was on TV in "Wise Guy", and he has never disappointed since -- "The Usual Suspects" is one of my favorites.

Critics didn't care for "Legends of the Fall", and I can understand why, but I've watched it several times -- a"Chic Flick" w/ plenty of testosterone.

If I had to pick just one movie, it would have to be "Man of La Mancha" because of the message that you choose who you are, and should not let circumstance dictate your character.  And I loved "Fiddler on the Roof" for the same reason.  Just watching those two makes your heart swell, you walk a little taller, and you look for the good in yourself and others.

I love Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and I think Drop Dead Gorgeous is really a riot, though it's definitely not the greatest movie of all time.  What do you think of Napoleon Dynamite?  Everyone I work with loves it, and they kept telling me "You just have to watch it again and you'll really love it".  Well, now I've seen it 3 times and it is funny, but I don't think it's as funny as they think it is!

In my opinion Napoleon Dynamite was one the most unfunny movies ever made.  Even after watching it a second time while drinking I couldn't find the humor every one else seems to see in it.

I like the wizard of oz myself. When I was young, I often wished there was a way to get to another place. As I got older, I found that there was  NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Now that both my parents are gone, there are those times I wish they could be near, just to let me know everything would be OK. Sorry for going on, just letting out some bottled up feelings.

I love Titanic.  I will put it on the DVD player and watch it just for fun. My daughters were so into Titanic when it came out.  They drove me completely nuts with the theme song from it. They would play it over and over and over.  AAAUUGH!

Anyone remember "The Gods Must Be Crazy"? 

Someone throws a Coke bottle out of an airplane and it creates havoc in a primitive village where they decide it is an unwelcome gift from the Gods.  The story weaves around the adventures of the man who is attempting to either return it or throw it off the edge of the world.

It's impossible to categorize this movie.  Many of the scenes are hysterically funny; I don't recall ever laughing that hard that many times in any other movie.  The dramatic scenes had me holding my breath, and I cried more than once.  Even though this can be viewed for pure entertainment there are several levels of meaning which gave me food for thought for days after.  Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to make an effort to find a copy.

There are very few movies I want to see the first time and most of them I don't want to see a second time,
but I did like these well enough to watch them again:

Gone With the Wind
The Sound of Music
Titanic
Chicago
"Fargo" was a funny movie to me, but others didn't think it that funny.  The funniest of all to me tho was,
"The Gods Must be Crazy?"  Like Black says it has laughter, tears, and it gives you something to think about when it
is over.
