Malena (Italian movie) - very moving movie that teaches compassion and understanding 3. Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow (Hongkong movie) - old kungfu movie by Jackie Chan 4. Kill Bill (American movie with Japanese flavor) - about a bride who sets her sights on revenge after some bloodbath on her wedding day 5. Battle Royale (Japanese movie) - about school adolescents who were directed to kill each other or be killed 6. Rush Hour (American movie with Chinese flavor) - police comedy tandem between Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan 7. Love So Divine (Korean movie) - about a priest who fell in love with a sassy girl who was dumped by her bf 8. Any science documentary - astronomy, genetics, biology, environment, planet Earth, inventions, etc. |

| A Walk in the Clouds? I watched it when I was a freshman in college. The scenery (especially the vineyard) in the movie is too charming. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by a big fire. |

| I like cowboy movies...Lonesome Dove and Open Range are pretty good. My favorite, not quite cowboy movie, is Quigley Down Under with Tom Selleck. One of my favorite, non-cowboy movies is "It could happen to you" with Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda. It is a very nice "date movie" (love story) without all of the sex that seems to be in every modern movie. ....and being a guy...I really enjoy the action movies with Arnold, Stallone, Jet Li and other great tough guys. Fearless is a tremendous movie with Jet Li. I watch it every time it comes on television. |

| Don't worry, JimmyB. It was implied in the end that the vineyard will be grown again. ^_^ Oh, I love Forrest Gump and American Beauty, too! ^_^ I also forgot to add the Japanese movie, Train Man (Densha Otoko) as one of my favorite. |

| If I could only name ONE movie as my favorite, I would pick "Crash". Crash was a movie that I expected, would relate to another urban film yet as urban as it is, the movie was very clear to show the racial tensions and prejudice that exists in society. The movie did not change any of my views as I am not racist or prejudice but as the film ends, not even the most cold hearted person feel pain in his heart. If I was head of the state school board, I would make it mandatory for every student to see this film even though its many themes are R rated. |

| Couldn't agree more with you about 'Crash' I also like some music DVD's such as 'Imagine' (John Lennon) 'The last waltz' (The Band) 'How the west was won' (Led Zeppelin) |

| Every great band should have a music DVD, especially if it depicts how the a song or album came together and the events that lead up to there inspirations. I haven't seen many that looked worthy to watch other than Incubus's "Morning View DVD" |
