2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Jurassic Park
4. Dances With Wolves
5. Jesus Christ Superstar (with Ted Neely)
These are the 5 that I had to choose. I dont much care for movies that are realistic and involve "Based on a true story" scenarios, sure some are great stories and they are a great way to teach history, compared to my history teacher and me trying to stay awake during the mind numbing narrative...
I was considering picking a movie from each Genre .. western, fact based, Sci fi, Super hero etc...because i have a large list of favorites but off the top of my head the above are what came to mind.

You don't have to keep doing this. You had me at "hello".dANdeLION wrote:It appears I've reached a crossroads. I'm not sure what to do. Do I continue to compliment Kay? Do I continue to play word games with Foul? Do I, as the mod of this forum, give myself a stern warning about posting off-topic detritus? This is vexing indeed.
Oh well, go with what you know, I always say.
New novel title, or 'Novel new title'?Lord Foul wrote:New novel title. Thanks.Kaydene wrote:"When Doves Wander"
Wait; no, I've got it. Title dove, or 'Turtle dove'?
Nah, that's not right....gimme a minute.......
Kay, your avatar is particularly.....no, been there, done that............
Wait, I'm the mod here! You people need to stay on topic!
Yeah, that's the ticket.

I found a copy yesterday at the used cd store. I'll either get off line and watch it tonight, or wait till Sunday evening. Then I'll log back on, tell you I loved it, and compliment you on your extraordinary taste in movies.

It was awesome. It started off slower than Snatch did, but once it got rolling, it was great. I loved it; you have extraordinary taste in movies!

Glad to hear it. While I didn't object *too* strongly to the remake (I'm actually a fan of Guy Pearce), the original is far better.
