I'm only going to list two favourite movies. There have been plenty of movies that I've liked, even loved, but these two made me go "WOW!!!" after the first time I watched them on the big screen: 1. Koyaanisqatsi 2. The Matrix ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

If it had been your favorite 27, Amistad and Lincoln would have made my list (probably should be there anyway). Two great movies with some great acting performances.
