    I remember enjoying the movie with Hayley and John Mills called The Chalk Garden.

    I've only ever seen that live, at ACT in San Francisco - my step-grandmother was playing the domineering grandmother. Great script.

    Yes De Cheech I have seen the TV version, you need all the blood and guts in that movie. I did forget about all The Godfathers when they are on I cannot look away. How about The Patriot and Kill Bill series we watch those over and over.
