  Next time, bring with you a starter pistol and a sword, and when the action begins - participate, shoot your pistol, yell "Bang-Bang-Bang!!!" and whack left and right with your sword. I guarantee you will not have any sense of boredom or urgency to leave. In fact, they will have to force you to leave the theater. Probably in a funny jacket...

  It's too bad you didn't watch the entire movie.

  While not knowing which elements of LoA were historically accurate, I did find the character study aspect quite interesting in regards to going from having the mindset of being a great and honorable leader to being a cowardly barbaric murderer and no longer being able to face and conquer your own inadequecies w/o the aid of money and the illusion of power.

  Haven't seen Zhivago yet but I'll keep an open mind.

      I walked out on Barry Lyndon, Time Bandits, Excorcist 2(the Heretic) & Batman 2. I used to live by Westwood, CA and went to the movies about 5 times a week for 7 years, so I have seen a TON of movies.

      On the other hand some of my favorites are: Raging Bull, The Elephant Man, Being There, Shawshank Redemption, Marathon Man, True Romance, The Deerhunter, Gladiator , The Day the Earth Stood Still, Alien, Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, Full Metal Jacket & The Shining, just to name a few.

        Mr. Doomsday,

        Nice "favorites" list you have there. I love The Elephant Man (er, the movie, not the real Elephant Man, and not in a "Michael Jackson" way). And Marathon Man! What a friggin' amazing movie. After watching it I'm usually both exhilarated and depressed. Depressed because it represents an entirely forgotten sense of realism (commitment by the actors), gritty film making, utterly convincing Mis en Scene and intelligent script writing. It's the type of stuff that seemed de riguer for serious filmmakers in the Seventies, but which makes an appearance only every few years or so in the current film scene. The Seventies was an awesome decade for film.

        Rich H.
