Does that mean you're an Arab? (refering to your pick... Lawrence of Arabia....)

nah...

just being facetious.....he is a proud Scot...just sounds funny with a Florida accent....lol

 

"Zorba The Greek", "Exodus", "Doctor Zhivago" and "War & Peace" that I haven't watched yet as well. And they are all now on my "Must Watch" list!

you're in for a treat.....great films...

 

There are so many great films....it's hard to single them out....but I must say....I did enjoy The Green Mile...

Any Clint Eastwood movie, and any Coen Brothers movie.

Hey, Bryan. Good to see you around. I've been doing some VIP work recently and I was lucky enough to meet Clint. Great guy and a real gentlemen

The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I read the books as a kid and always hoped they'd make a movie(s) of them. The other ones I always hoped were the Chronicles of Narnia. But they're not turning out as well.

I can't think of just one...I'm really grateful that I live in an age where films are so readily available.  A few that come to mind as my personal all-time greats, that have shaped my life philosophy are:

1.  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

2.  The Fountain.

3.  What Dreams May Come.

and Powder!

Yeah, now that is a good movie... although he wasn't the main star, I like anything with Lance Henriksen in it.

Another movie I like is Best Little Whorehouse in Texas... it's a load of old bollocks but still a feel good movie that has some great stars... I like the perfomances of both Jim Nabors and Charles Durning, not to mention Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.

 

Oh, and I almost forgot.... This Is Spinal Tap... cos they go to 11.

I GOT that movie... and yeah, Karen is right,  Michael McKean (Lenny) was in Laverne & Shirley, also Young Doctors in Love, funny in parts but not a must see movie I'd be glad of seeing before I departed this Earth.

Yeah I know who he is, but Laverne and Shirley first appeared in Happy Days, and Lenny has also appeared in Happy Days.

Schindler's List and a 13 y/o Dark Knight named Christain Bale in Empire Of The Son.

Two epics guaranteeing not a dry eye for whom ever sees it!  Emotionally draining though.

Damn, throw Color Purple in there too.  I still can't believe Out Of Africa beat that movie for Best Picture!
