After two days of intense legal questioning, Supreme Court nominee John Roberts finally addressed a subject most Americans could relate to: His favorite movies are "Doctor Zhivago" and "North by Northwest."
Frustrated by Roberts' answers, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested on Wednesday that if he dared to ask the nominee his favorite films, he would get a discussion of cinematography and why "Casablanca" is considered one of the greatest. Instead, Roberts answered flat out, bringing laughter from the audience and senators alike.
"North by Northwest," Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 classic, starred Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and Martin Landau, and included a death-defying scramble on the face of Mount Rushmore.
"Doctor Zhivago," the 1965 film directed by David Lean, was described as "a love caught in the fire of revolution" and starred Omar Sharif, Julie Christie and Rod Steiger.
how about "And Justice for All"
I love this guy - he's showing the WHOLE WORLD what a bunch of ignorant, incompetent, petty @$$eS these Democrap Senators are - and the funniest thing is - they are doing their best to help him without even knowing it.
He's scored big pints with me and the American public in these hearings.
He looks like a lion staring down a pack of scruffy dogs.
I've always thought "Godfather 2" was better, "Rear Window" is good but not on the level of "North by Northwest", "Vertigo", or "Psycho". I don't think I've ever seen "Open Range", I'll have to get it.
I was thinking "Animal House". LOL.
These hearings are funny to watch. Judge Roberts is toying with the dumb Democrats and they don't know it. They are too busy giving 8 minute questions and enjoying listening to themselves. Roberts is very good at keeping a straight face. One can only imagine the thoughts he shares with his wife at the end of the day.
"Whatever happened to Omar Sharif?"
Still playing in celebrity bridge tournaments with old ladies...
Still kicking.
I think Sharif is basically retired from acting, I know he writes a daily bridge column though (I believe he is a grandmaster).
Wanda Skutnick...
Mmmmmm. Big pints!
He should have said "Advise and Consent"
...or "The Passion of the Christ". Just imagine...
LOL!
Open range was quite good.
I wish he'd said "Red Dawn"!
and "Zatoichi"!
These little dem foxes are nibbling at the roots of a giant oak tree and are failing miserably in their less than feeble effort to destroy this giant(Roberts)with their obvious small small personas'!
Red Dawn bump!
Roberts should have ask Chuck if he liked gladiator movies.
