Thanks, Kaydene! I got goosebumps typing it.
After all these years, it still gets to me - even when I'm spoofing it.

1. Avatar
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.

Oh well, go with what you know, I always say.

New novel title. Thanks.
New novel title, or 'Novel new title'?

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.

You don't have to keep doing this. You had me at "hello".

Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lifts us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow

Yeah, if you like Snatch, you should like Lock, Stock. It's directed by the same guy and is about bumbling criminals. Same quick humor and snappy lines.

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.

Which one?

Post by **Loredoctor** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 9:04 am

Not the f***ing remake, that's for sure.

Post by **Rigel** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 9:08 am

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.

I watched the Pearce version in 2003, and it honestly depressed me.
