| I believe I've mentioned before that I'm not too fond of films where the characters dress up and walk around talking to each other.
- Gone With The Wind
- Lawrence of Arabia
- The Robe
- Ran
- Ben Hur
- Cleopatra
- The Bible
- The Ten Commandments
- Downton Abbey
- I, Claudius
- Pride and Prejudice
- Upstairs Downstairs
- 300
I find this list just fascinating. |

| Really? That's all you got from Lawrence of Arabia - a bunch of guys walking around talking? |

| Yes, there was sand.
And camels, and trains, and airplanes, and bombs, and one motorcycle (a Brough Superior, I believe).
Do you prefer movies where people just drive around shooting at each other?

- boobs
- time travel

| Everything we wear is a "costume".
I like spy and action movies. Some comedy. Can't be stupid comedy, though. Sean of the Dead was awesome but something slapstick like Home Alone doesn't do anything for me.
Hunt for Red October
Clear and Present Danger
Bourne Identity
Bond movies, that sort of thing. |

| Hunt for Red October was very good but, for the most part, I don't care for spy movies (or anything that is essentially politically based).
After so many years, most movies are just like those I saw long ago. I prefer movies that are unique. It's the only way to get something new.
Eraserhead
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction
Dr. Strangelove
Blue Velvet
Being John Malkovich
Dogma |

I can't remember if you said you;d seen "Birdman"? |

| No, I have not seen it. I may pick up the DVD some day, but I really don't find the story compelling.
