...I brought home SIX films from that list. So there is still much anticipation. Kudos to my shop-next-door. Well, ten minutes drive, anyway, but still quite good for a small town. And they also had the first one on the list, but in the NEW section, and I am to cheap for that. Old ones I get on Friday for $5 per five tapes till Monday - try to beat THAT deal. Since I have nice relationship with on of the store guys, I paid $5 for six tapes.Still, one from that list is still better than what I had before last night.
I would not mind seeing the "Twelve" again, and my wife has been making that suggestion for some time now. I have never made it to the jury, but I am sure you are right. Normal people are much more laid back usually, untill someone pushes them to their limit. Perhaps it would be a nice excercise for the bunch here to suggest the list of twelve for the new version. I am sure Leonardo with his deep dramatic abilities would make it to the list.
By the same token, most court room drama, including the best ones, is always removed from the reality. Some of them still keep us at the edge of our chairs. I recall watching some of the "signficant trials of te XX century" including the OJ's, Smith and few others and you usually have to force yourself to do it. Watching my grass being replaced by moss is more exciting.
I don't recall any one-line knock-out punches there...
