I really, really, really love Dances With Wolves ...

(NB. what's sad is that when the movie came out, I looked like Wind In His Hair (Rodney Grant) and now I look like the insane fat guy who pissed himself and then commits suicide near the beginning of the movie ...

Well, maybe in the autumn of your life you could grow into some sort of "Ten Bears"  . 

It is a great movie indeed.

You know, my dad's also saying that I should watch better movies... I have seen Metropolis and Nosferatu a while ago, those were more "arty". Do you have any recommendations?

I saw Revenge of the Sith on the day of the premier (i.e. midnight showing). It was an incredible experience, I won't ever forget it. The movie was better than I had hoped, it surely is my favorite of the new trilogy. Empire is my favorite as well.

I already was hoping that somebody else would mention the movie before me.

So much for my street credibility, if I ever had any, but that's my all time fav movie  .

Yes! I'm not alone.....
