Breakfast at Tiffany's My Fair Lady Blade Runner Alien Enemy Mine Raising Arizona Tommy Boy O Brother, Where Art Thou Dangerous Liaisons The Libertine Gladiator The Legend of 1900 The Color Purple Lean on Me Thomas Crown Affair The Silence of the Lambs The only series I really like are the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max. Sorry, Mel fan despite the press. So, of course I adore Braveheart. New Releases: Dream Girls and 300, and the new Bond is HOT. |

Confessions: I cried when Glen Campbell died in True Grit. I never could stand Star Wars. I loved and owned Grease and Staying Alive albums. I participated in the Rocky Horror Picture Show mania in theaters. Thought Miles O'keeffe from Tarzan, The Ape Man was the most handsome Adonis to ever grace the big screen. and I was a cult classic horror fanatic and would rather see films such as The Shining over Blue Lagoon, when I was 12. yeah, I even got a kick out of Shaun of the Dead. and I've never been so mad at a bad ending in my life than when I watched Message in a Bottle, which made me swear off Sparks. |

Regina, Great idea to do the confessions thing! I have a few of my own: I thought Citizen Kane was dull and so, so overrated. Raging Bull is also overrated. I never liked French New Wave until recently. Yeah, I never liked Star Wars either. I think Peter Jackson is a story harvester. Every Dirty Harry sequel needs to be forgotten. The only good thing about Pale Rider was the end. There is no actress prettier or cooler than Judy Davis. I got caught up in Dogme95 and am still into it. I once called Lars von Trier in a report my distant uncle and Werner Herzog the cinema messiah. Head Cheese & Chicken Feet |

Geez Christopher -- how many of those titles haven't YOU seen?  But, you do the math -- that's 89 movies at about 90 minutes per, over a 40 year period... B'sides that -- on my confession list -- I used to be part owner of a video store chain... and to this day I still can't believe the people who would come in night after night after night and take home three of em at a time. My other confession -- unlike Ron, I wait for the Cliff Notes!  |

The God's Must Be Crazy Azzia, you are the only one who mentioned that one. I loved it. Saw it many times over with my grandson. It is one of the things that bound us together. We still mention it. He was 8 then and tenty five now. The God's Must be Crazy 11 came out and was very funny also. martyjo |

I love Monty Python; they are my main inspirations for theater. Here's a few more: Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee (One of my favorites) The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie by Luis Buñuel Night and the City by Jules Dassin Rififi by Dassin Bloody Sunday by Paul Greengrass (powerful) more later... “Suddenly a giant Cabbage Patch Doll jumps out from behind the shower curtain and grabs him violently.” |

Yes, that's one of my favorite television shows. The German episode still has me laughing. “Well all the apostles, they’re sittin’ on the swings, sayin’ I’d sell off my savior for a set of new rings.” |

Coffee and Cigarettes bored the hell out of me. So did Citizen Kane. But I did love The Gods Must be Crazy And Reb- I thought Start Trek II was the wrath of Kahn? A few of my absolute favorites: It's a Wonderful Life Arsenic and Old Lace The Big Lebowski Jurassic Park Die Hard Do the Right Thing Run, Lola, Run Kill Bill 1&2 Pulp Fiction Grindhouse Borat The Harry Potter Series The Pirates of the Caribbean Series The Royal Tennenbaums Fight Club Animal House The Blues Brothers I [heart] Huckabees Bad Santa Grinch- you and my film-minor fiancee would have all kinds of interesting conversations. |

Anybody ever seen: "And the Ship Sails On" by Fredrico Fellini? I love love love that movie. He's probably my favorite Italian director. He's made some of the most interesting and important films in all of film history. 8½ is his film about the truth of directing and it is just... Amazing. Anybody interested in filmmaking needs to see it. He also did "La Dolce Vita", very powerful movie. He did "Satyicon", "Armacord", "Histoires Extraordinaires." and several others. It's been said that he's never made a bad film. That even though certain films weren't his best, there were still certain scenes that were better than anything supplied by the movies before it. He was a real artist. You guys should check him out. “Well all the apostles, they’re sittin’ on the swings, sayin’ I’d sell off my savior for a set of new rings.” |
