Jack's best movie was One Flew over The Cuckoos Nest..
De Niro was awesome as Satan in Angel Heart..
But they both are kinda creepy!
Ms.B

[La Enchiladita]

"Fried Green Tomatoes!" Yes! (Congratulations..)

[La Enchiladita]

"King of Hearts" definitely a favorite here, too. (My list went way over 10, pared it down... and that's just what I could remember). Saw King of Hearts numerous times.

[La Enchiladita]

Yes! "The Apostle!" A Robert Duvall masterpiece!

[StarCMC]

What Does one do with a drunken sailor?

Depends. But I'd say one good option would be to roll him onto his side. LOL!!!!

[HKMk23]

I added it to the head-end of my Profile page so I'll always know where to find it.

[AZamericonnie]

Vacation....that explains it! I was wondering where you were! I hope you had a wonderful time.

[StarCMC]

WOooohoooo!! Sons of Katie Elder! Love it!

[EsmeraldaA]

Actually I was there before......hehehee

[Smartass]

He's free, but actually in a box. He'll make a mistake and step over the line...then BAM, and it won't be Emeril.

[La Enchiladita]

My informal survey shows these 4 films are on the most lists:

Braveheart
The Passion of the Christ
We Were Soldiers
Patton

[Albion Wilde]

I could have made my whole list just from Duvall movies. He is not only one of the greatest actors, he is one of the most unsung; but I think that's how he likes it. He lives in Virginia and acts like a local. He used to own a little restaurant until a couple of years ago. One of my friends and I went there for lunch just dying to see him, and he came in with his girlfriend and sat down with his back to the room -- no one was supposed to come up and bother him, so we didn't, even though both of us are Capricorns like him and were feeling like teenagers seeing a sports hero or one of the kids from Bandstand! But I was seated to one side, so I kept checking his profile. Whatta guy. Surprisingly short -- maybe 5'7" at the most. But who's counting?

'FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME'...Kevin Costner

[IPWGOP]

Bwahahahahahaha..........I did it!! Thanks!! What a great sign that will make!! I may just make one and put it out in my front yard!!! (along a few extras to hand out to folks at the market, salon and VFW hall!)

You are so very welcome! Ya know, I don't think this Cindy woman has a CLUE what she's set off... a conservative tsunami.

[La Enchiladita]

Bob Duvall rocks!!!

[Albion Wilde]

I posted a list at # 232 yesterday. Someone noticed that I love Robert Duvall, and gave him 4 spots on my top 10!

But I thought about it all night and decided I must make two lists: Top Ten American films and Top Ten Foreign films. So here's my amended lists:

American, in no particular order:
Gone with the Wind
Godfather 1 & 2
O Brother Where Art Thou
Passion of the Christ
Braveheart
The King and I
The Great Santini
The Apostle
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
The LIfe Aquatic
The French Connection

Foreign, in no particular order:

Il Postino
Babette's Feast
E La Nave Va (Fellini, "And the Ship Sails On")
This Little Village of Mine (Czech, 1970s or 80s)

Good afternoon Troops, Veterans, family members, Canteen, and Lurkers:

How's everyone doing today?

MoJo and crew are cleaning and getting a few things in order. MoJo's intentions were to
concentrate on getting these things done. Of course, that wasn't going to happen.
Between the neighbors and folks calling, I'm doing too well. Oh well!
Of course I could refuse to answer the phone, but I can't. I love to talk. Hehe!

Anyhoo, below is a preview of the Canteen Music Dedication beginning Friday night!
Hope to see you all. We're going to have another Sampler Music Mix this weekend.
Perhaps you can guess what we're doing, but don't be too sure. These songs may not
even make the playlist.

Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful (Clean Version) 
*Not for Ma because it has rhythm. Hehe!

The SOS Band - Take Your Time (Do It Right)

Rod Stewart - Young Turks

University Of Illinois Marching Band - Illini Drumline
*Outta love for Jonathan, MoJo will refrain from saying anything about the Illini football team.

Mendelssohn - Wedding March from *A Midnight Summer Night's Dream

Tommy Jackson - Cotton Eyed Joe
*Bluegrass

Cowboy Troy - Do Your Thang

Have a great day everyone!! *HUGS* to all!!

[Texas Songwriter]

I am glad you like that piece. My brother says he likes that one too.

[BobFromNJ]

Agree with 47----Casablanca--The perfect movie!!

[TheBigB]

I can't. I'm still in the corner. :o)
