I will add “The Wicker Man” ca.1970, after some good advice from FReepers.

Just stay the heck away from the remake. Puke.

Hardly a surprise ending coming from someone who enjoyed Who’s Afraid of Virgina Wolfe.

Shawshank was a pretty good movie tho I can’t stand either of the two stars. I will admit they are good actors tho.

Also they just had to slip in the bit about the jerk Warden being a devout Christian.

"We just got Netfliks so I need to make some notes. :D"

Go through the "Genre" lists and rate all the movies you have seen. That will help the computer to form a list of possible choices for you, and it will come up (different each time) every time you go to netflix. I've been a member since shortly after Netflix started. Love it.

The point was that he was not a devout Christian. He was a hypocrite.

My opinion is they wanted to cast Christians as hypocrites.

Tombstone was good, but Lonesome Dove was better. Great shoothout in another Duvall flick was “Open Range”.

There were two versions.

One was a TV serial and one was a movie. Both had Andy and Barney. Most of the other characters were different.

Good choice
