Dk, I don't consider myself to be an intellectual either, although I love hanging out with them. Always trying to learn. I haven't heard of "Pay it Forward" but will look for it. Is it on video yet. Am always looking for good movies. "Cool Habd Luke" is in my top ten. Saw it in highschool for the first time. They showed it in the auditorium for the entire school in 1973. My favorite westerns are "The Unforgiven" and a series produced for tv "The Lonesome Dove" WOW!!! Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duval, and Danny Glover were the main characters. It's available on video so if you haven't seen you must rent it. As for favorite actors, I like Neuman but my favorites are Anthony Hopkins, Tim Rollins and Kevin Spacey. Merill Streep is miles ahead of her peers but I also really like Sally Fields and Susan Serandin.

Enders, I thought "Pulp Fiction" was GREAT. Was "Crouching Tiger" the movie I read that was produced for only $10 mil?? They said it was amazing that the film was made on that low budget, if it's the same film.
As far as cinematography goes, two of my favorites are "Barry Lindon" by Kubric and "The Black Stallion" by Copella. What a film!!!! I need to adopt some young children so I get exposed to more films geared to that age group. Some of them are wonderful. "Willow" (I think that's a George Lucas film) was another one that I watch over and over. I watch it every year in preparation for The Bay Area Renaissance Festival. I do street theater there. What fun!!!!!
So many movies, so little time.
Happy Viewing, SH

No intellectuals here.

Haven't seen the Hurricane, but plan to. Denzil is always powerful.

Paul Neuman has mostly stayed away from the "fluff" and was fortunate and wise enough to land roles like Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, The Verdict, Absence of Malice, Butch Cassidy, etc. He is very very good. Somewhat painful, but provocative films. Haven't seen Cool Hand Luke in a long time. Must rent it soon.

Ordinary People was a film I saw a number of times when it came out. That Redford is quite a director. Many of us are hooked on the Spagetti Westerns and don't forget Kelly's Heroes, the Dirty Dozen, or Dirty Harry. Now there's some guy films.

Field of Dreams definitely special as is Dances with Wolves.

Favorite actors I must include Jack Nicholson, Anthony Hopkins, K. Spacey, Kenneth Branaugh for Shaksepere (Henry V is terrific), Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, C.Gable, C.Grant, S. Tracy, H. Bogart; I think Donald Sutherland hasn't got near the credit he deserves. (Klute is a classic) Same with Laurence Fishburn although that may be changing. Sorry, but the list goes on and on.

Actresses: More recent ones are of course M. Streep, Glen Close, Kristin Scott Thomas, Juliette Binoche. From yesteryear: I won't go into at this time although it's hard to overlook K. and A. Hepburn.

There were a lot of good actors and actresses in the golden age of films.
