A Walk in the Clouds..
is an old fashioned movie, in an old fashioned setting with old fashioned values and an old fashioned heart. I love it.

Rhustlers Rhapsody
is a parody of Westerns, but has a heart. It starts with a a black and white mono cowboy chasing 3 bad guys away from a stagecoach. The voice over says those were the good old days for Rex, but I wonder what it would be like if he made a movie now. Suddenly the color snaps on, the dolby kicks in
and the bad guys look genuinely bad. They turn around and their rifles sound
quite a bit larger than life. Surprised by the changes, Rex skedaddles. Pass the root, please.

The Blues Brothers
I must have seen this a few hundred times. Don't ask me why.

Piece of Cake
an old Brit Docudrama that follows a Spitfire squad from just before the war to the Battle of Britain. This connects because it is quite simply damn good.

SciFi series, B5,Firefly,Voyager,DS9
yes, these are not films, by and large. But I connect to them in a personal way. They say to me that humanity can grow up and will not wipe itself out from incompetence or malice. What I can say, I'm an incorrigible optimist.
