thanks, i believe saving private ryan, and monster's ball dvds are currently available at the video store for 10 bucks used.of what i've seen so far, i would say the best scene i've ever seen is the first race in the fast and the furious, right from the beginning of a simulation of the gas going through the engine to the finish. i think it's a technically brilliant marvel.
i've seen some negative reviews of fast and the furious, but i think it's a great movie and if i ever taught a college course on cinema, i would use that film, if only for the way it creates it's own world.
and as i mentioned my favorite scene presently is arnold's plunge into the whitewater river in collateral damage. i love the way the sub rumbles when he goes under the water. and the scenery as he goes down the waterfall.
i was always a foreign film and avante garde film buff, but now i just marvel at what hollywood is doing.
I would agree that U-571 is great. It is like Run Silent, Run Deep but more gritty and real. Lots of cool "blowing up" as well. Das Boot also fits in here (newest verision, where the director got the actors to say all their lines in English). Here is my "fave" list, Gladiator, Titan A.E., Atlantis:the Lost Continent, The Mummy, Galaxy Quest and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Let us know what you think.
