A Walk in The Clouds     Directed by Alfonso Arau. With Keanu Reeves, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Anthony Quinn. If you haven't seen it yet and you like a good old love story you just gotta see it...

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

Think I ain't clickin' my nostalgic heels after experiencing Man Of La Mancha for the 1st time Sydney?

 

 I did enjoy The Green Mile
Makes me cry too damn much, that one, Brian's Song and Powder!

 

Shawshank Redmption

 Hell of a cold blooded flick!

 

Alien (the first one) girlfriend almost ripped my arm off
Lantec my friend, if you didn't lose that arm, then that's funny as all hell!

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!

 

All great ones and great choices, I might add, Cp....Out of Africa won because of the setting and music as well...I think it was more of a "Total Experience".

I also remember "The Ten Commandments" for the same reason....Although The Book version was better.

'Meet Joe Black', another awesome one.

Sorry I missed quoting this one....absolutely! Brought tears to my eyes....even Death relented to Love, which is the only human creation which conquers death and never crumbles.

I think Sir Anthony Hopkins rocks,   though Brad did a good job too.

SUPERMAN - I saw it more times than Star Wars as a kid.

AMERICAN BEAUTY - The only screenplay I ever read twice in one sitting.

THE FOUNTAIN - True love lasts forever.

Picnic at Hanging Rock.......................moody, sinister, beautiful

A Clockwork Orange.........................very disturbing as the young murderous but justice avoiding criminals end up being the police and in authority later and their childhood friendships mean nothing to them.

Last Train to Freo...........................out Hitchcocks Hitchcock.

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest..................nothing else to say about it

Bruce Almighty..........................just very funny

Silent Night...........................humanity even in war, true story

I see math skills are on the low around here. I mean, I would think anyone able to type should know how to count to ONE...

I do love movie suggestions, so I don't really mind...

We are all having our multiples as dead heats.

We best correct the language syntax to "One film I am glad to have seen before I died" as well.

Oh best believe me, I've watched that total experience Doc!  It swept ALL catagories at the Oscars that year!  All of them!  Anything outside of that was less than an honorable mention.  It just looked rather pre-ordained if you know what I mean!

My vote for KickAss movie for 2008!
