Mel Brooks movie "High Anxiety"

The Twelve Chairs...Visually beautiful...funny...Met a Russian Orthodox Priest and he told me most Russians consider Mel Brook's version superior to the Russian Language version made in Moscow at about the same time.

If you haven`t seen them,check out:

"2 Days In The Valley" - Danny Aiello & a great cast

"The Indian Runner" - Viggo Mortenson

Frequency is a great movie.

Don't look now has the scariest most disturbing ending.....especially if you are afraid of dwarfes

I've had a deep distrust of midgets since that movie.

Barry Lyndon.

ARENA .... Now available on DVD.

And that movie about the Asian cops attacking a 13 story building to get the #1 bad guy who lives on the top floor. Sounds dumb, but a damn fine movie!

Anyone recall the name of that one?

I'm a big movie fan with family members in the business and you GetBiggers have mentioned a lot of seemingly good movies which I've never heard of but do intend to watch within the next few weeks.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Most USA/Hollywood films are 'Formula' productions .... meaning that each of them has a similar format for the beginning, the middle-ing, and the ending .... with minor exceptions such as t he most recent Batman, but foreign films tend to be produced with a unique formula of their own.

Maybe Dr Chimps or Wes or one of you movie industry fans can explain this better but this 'formula format' stuff is often dicussed among scriptwriters and movie-makers, but I got no idea how this "formula" looks when written down on paper.

State Of Grace............great movie and deserves far more credit.

One of Oldmans best roles bar none.

Another gritty flick is "City Of Industry" with Harvey Keitel,get it and enjoy,then thank me later.
