I'm watching "A few good men" right now for the gazilionth time"
I so wish I could get my hands of an autograph of Ronald Reagans.
That would be very cool. Have you tried eBay?
What a shame!
bttt
Oh boy a movie thread.. BUMP
Most of the autographs I have bought have been through people who can authenticate their products.
There actually is a magazine specializing in autograph and photos of famous people.
One of the weirdest autographs I got was one by Emerson. Actually it was a letter of recommendation of his nephew to Harvard.
I snapped it up for under 100 pounds.
The reason I wanted it so bad, was because the letter was addressed to then Harvard divinity professor Henry Ware, one of my ancestors.
I’m impressed. We have a few pieces of sports memorabilia that is signed and authenticated, but nothing on the level of what you have amassed. The Emerson letter sounds particularly interesting, because of the familial connection. I’ve also been to his house in Concord.
I just recently saw the Belorussian movie, “Come and See”, IMHO it is the most powerful and terrifying war movie ever made. There are images in that film that will never leave you.
The Irish movie “Once”
The original “In-Laws”
“Now, Voyager”
“When Harry Met Sally”
“Married to the Mob”
“A Lot Like Love”
“Rudy”
“Notting Hill”
“The Remains of the Day”
“Rear Window”
And I forgot “Christmas Vacation”
I just watched the french version of "Beauty and the Beast" (1946). Wow! Wonderful special effects for the time. It was made before I was born. I prefer it to the Disney version.
I could no more watch a film twice than I can fly with no plane. I would be so bored.
Couple of old bits
The Man Who Came to Dinner with Monty Woolley (great back story)
The Last Hurrah.
One of the best all time see it again movies:
The Usual Suspects.
Can’t believe I forgot that one.
All of those are amazing
Dirty Dozen
Cool Hand Luke
Patton
Second Hand Lions
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Enemy at the Gates
Immortal Beloved
Facing the Giants
"Come and See" (Idi I Smotri) was actually made in 1986.
Been a long time since I saw a film that impacted me as much as this. I can't recommend it enough, but definitely not for the faint of heart.
Ha—me neither!
