[ezo4]

I’m sitting here after work and pulled out the “Last of the Mohicans” and I’m wondering what my fellow freepers like for there favorite movies. I would like more for my collection of dvd’s. Current and older movies? Doesn’t matter what it is.

Just a little break from the daily news and politics.

I have quite a few that I like and I’m looking for more. Hit me back

I have never seen that...I think it is time I go out and rent it, as I seem to be the only person who hasn't seen it and I am a college freshman.

What do you Northeners know from Westerns?

I got a map..

[Argus]

Zulu Dawn is also good. As long as we're on a Victorian little wars theme, I like KHARTOUM with Charlton Heston as well, and the original Korda production of FOUR FEATHERS.

[Capt. Tom]

On the Waterfront
Casablanca

What's your favorite movie?

Dude, that's a brutal request!!! that's like what's your favorite song - pretty broad question.

Something about the silver screen really gets me and I love Film Noir but couldn't name my favorite one though. Comedies from the 30's are special and I'm a big W.C. Fields fan.

For the 10 of thousands of modern lousy movies there are too many works of art to discount modern cinema - as rare as good work is it adds up over the years - couldn't begin to name all the quality films in all catagories - drama, comedy, etc. Of course a movie doesn't have to be high art to be a favorite - some of the worst films are so bad they're great.

P.S. It's A Gift ranks up there for me.

Some Came Running....(my brother was in it)!!! Good for a laugh when his voice cracked!

The Godfather Trilogy Collection, no less. I've sat and watched the whole set a few times. What an undertaking. What a pleasure.
