Favorite movie EVER
Hi Y'all,
I know you've got a favorite movie and this is just the thread to post/tell fav. scene, etc.about it. My fav. movie not all time but overall, is probably, The Rookie. I think that it is great because I love baseball and grew up with it as a kid. My fav. scene is probably when he gets put in to pitch his first game with the devil rays. The movie can be new,old,well known,not known, etc.

"Cyrano de Bergerac", I would not change a comma on the script, the acting was stunning, the costumes and sets ravishing, the music perfect and it is still to this day one of the best French texts ever written. Powerful, moving, inspiring and very poignant. I do not believe there ever will be a better version of the book ever made. It would be impossible to improve on it and I think the Author of the book , Edmond Rostand would have been delighted with it.
I was also bowled over by "The Shawshank Redemption", a superb script, and such a wonderful story told to great effect by fantastic actors ( not a jarring note on that front from anyone in the cast). Wonderful direction, and an enduring story of the resilience of the human spirit and man's inhumanity to man.

"Now, Voyager"
A classic, IMO.
Bette Davis, Claude Rains and the oh-so-suave Paul Henreid.

Unforgiven. That movie was so great! Didn't glorify the violence and showed how it affected people.
