xardon-very,very eclectic....good taste! njrazd-the Last of the Mohicans was a very underrated movie. great cinematography, great music and very good acting. i also liked Tombstone for Val Kilmer's incredible portrayal of Doc Holliday.

Oh, bunnicula! I heartily agree! "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" is a wonderful, heartbreaking film---and it captures so beautifully the feel of a small southern town. And Alan Arkin was robbed (robbed, I say) of a Best Actor Oscar for that film.

Baduizm: How could I forget Devil In A Blue Dress! I usually don't like movies when I've read the book, but that was wonderful!!!
When I think about that, and Malcolm, and the Mighty Quinn, and Glory, I might have to change my vote for favorite actor from Andre Braugher to Denzel.

Has anyone seen a movie called Ricochet with Denzel Washington and John Lithgow? I thought this piece was absolutely superb! Lithgow is amazing as a hideous, sadistic bad bad man..
