For that�s what this huge POS is: I have a decent memory, and I have read Tolkien�s books several times..., but I just can�t remember anything about Jackson�s "The Twin Towers", and only a few scenes from "ROK"! While I can tell you a lot of things about, among many others, "21 Grams",or "Mystic River" or, if we go backwards in time, the whole plot and most details of "The Dead", "Miller�s Crossing", "Angel Heart", "Babette�s Feast", "Two for the Road", "My Fair Lady", "Chinatown", "To kill a Mockingbird", "The Women", "Citizen Kane", "Touch of Evil", "The Third Man", "Le Chien Andalou", "The Exterminating Angel", "Dersu Uzala", "Ran", "Kagemusha", "Talk to Her"..., and many others, including (to Patrick�s despair) "Les Enfants du Marais"!
I�d dare bet on it fading away very soon..., and only a few ones complaining for it.

  ...when he finds your "humorous" reposts lame...

  - Yes, it was lame, appropriately so, but if you were like Seabiscuit you would've made a better comeback... - Audiophilander 12:40:07 03/02/04 (3)
    ... instead of continuely trying to blindside LoTR, which happens to be a more rewarding series of films than most of the movies you mentioned. Exceptions: Citizen Kane; however, I place high artistic value on Touch of Evil, The Third Man, Ran (although I prefer Kurosawa's Dreams) and To Kill a Mockingbird as well.

      Although it is an uneven film, "Dreams" has been a long term favorite of mine. I have shown the "Crows" sequence to most visitors at one time or another.
      - Yes, that segment in particular is brilliant. - Audiophilander 11:59:57 03/03/04 (1)

        I especially like the added touch of genius in casting Scorsese as Van Gogh. :o)

        About 1/2 of my guests guess it's him and the other half has no clue.
        But it is brilliant casting since all Scorcese had to do was get made up!

In fact Bernardo, if you look at the list of Oscars, you will see his decline starting in the 70�s, when commerce took definitively overhand.
Have you seen " P�re et Fils " ?

  No, I haven�t seen "P�re et fils": it hasn�t surfaced here...
