I’ve just discovered many of these foreign films this year, thanks to a long, long winter and Netflix.

I like that foreign films do not insult my intelligence.

Yep, I agree. And after seeing Texas Eagles’ posts on how immoral Hollywood has gotten, it does make me appreciate that the Bollywood film industry is by comparison, much more modest and family friendly. I brought Devdas and Lagaan home to watch with my Mom...she had never watched a Hindi film before but she loved those, especially Devdas.

Every time there is a feel-good thread on FR you show up to play Debbie Downer.... if you are not interested in movies, why would you post anything on an academy award thread?

Have you seen Devdas or Lagaan? Definitely not low tech or tacky!

Try it again. Using the rest of the sentence. Here. Let me set you up.

...you really want to compare Country Music to Hollywood when it comes to promoting anti-American values?

1939 was a good year for movies. Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind and Goodbye Mr. Chips.

My wife loves to watch them. I'll watch them with her if the chicks on it are hot.

Yes she was. Her movies were timeless...

Queen Latifa, looking lovely, doing a wonderful rendition of Ill Be Seeing you (as the tributes roll).

This is sad right now. I can’t believe how many of my favorites passed away last year.

This part of the shows I don’t like at all ...
Get to be reminded of the GREAT ONES gone, and Friends that are no more.
