Never seen that one. Is it any good?
I've seen Glen or Glenda though, which was inspiring!

which movies have most inspired you?
Up to this point no none has mentioned “Passion of the Christ”?
Inspired, that’s interesting, never thought of that before, not in any particular order, just ones I think fit the category:
Chariots of Fire
Fiddler on the Roof
The Hiding Place
The Miracle Worker
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Lillies of the Field
Bridge Over the River Kwai
The Black Stallion
Papillon
Life is Beautiful
The Green Mile
Porky’s.
I like the way oddball operates
Gracias for the link. Not sure how that flick escaped my radar.
We got the Audie Murphy museum here.
I just met the curator the other week out at the local gun shop.
Ive never been to the museum, if they served chow there I would have gone a long time ago. I think I will suggest that they add a restaurant. that’s a great idea.
It’s right off I 30
Harvey is a great film!
My favorite.
I always wanted to get calling cards printed up in the name of Elwood P. Dowd
Miracle
As a young boy in Minnesota, Herb Brooks beat the commies before Ron Reagan did!
That was back when we hated commies and didn’t elect them.
Yes, I love ‘The Last of the Mohicans’ and I also like ‘The Postman

I grew up watching Audie Murphy movies in the 1960s, after school on The Early Show at 4:30. I was smitten!
Then my parents “burst my bubble,” telling me that in reality he was older than they!
When his plane crashed in Craig County, Virginia, I lived in a neighboring county and sat in our yard, watching the mountains, praying to God to let him live - and send him to me!
On my first adult trip to Washington, D.C., the first place I visited was Arlington Cemetery and his grave.
Walter = Walther
That movie definitely. One of my fav new TV shows is ‘Person of Interest’ and I learned that the star of that show played Christ in the movie.
The Best Years of Our Lives.
The first movie that gripped me as a child was the original “Flight of the Phoenix”
Jimmy Stewart, Ernest Borgnine, belly dancing in the desert, Germans being Germans, the desperate attempt to start their plane built from parts...
As a kid I thought it was the greatest movie ever made....
Yankee Doodle Dandy. Came out in the middle of WW II and was chock full of George M Cohan’s inspirational and patriotic music. If ‘Over There’ and ‘Yankee Doodle Dandy’ and ‘Grand Old Flag’ doesn’t make you want to go out and kick butt, then there is no hope for you.
“A Knight’s Tale.”
Hubby loves that movie. I like it too, it’s one of those crazy sort of mixed up movies, with modern songs and other touches. I like that.
I liked Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet for the same reason.
One that I found very good, years ago, was The Gods Must Be Crazy. It is about some African tribesman who travels a great distance for some reason that I think involves an empty coca-cola bottle. I have no idea if I would still like it.

Ours too. I think we like it more every time we watch it!
