    Farkel; nice playing! My girlfriend would be jealous; she has to do piano lessons as part of her Conservatory course, and I know she'd LOVE to be at your level. What's the parrot saying though? I swear at one point I made out the words 'rock'n'roll'!!

    Duh......I forgot:

    The Manchurian Candidate

    Watched it years ago - no impact. Rewatched it last week, upon the recommendation of my Psych. Prof.

    Was fascinated!

    I agree with Farkel; Harold and Maude is one of my all-time favorites.

    But my favorite movie of all time is:

    Night on Earth

    Absolutely the funniest movie I've ever seen. We've played it for friends and they never fail to crack up. Norm even had us play it a second time. It's hard to find; most movie-rental places don't have it, but you can order it from Amazon. I highly recommend it.

    Is that the one where Wynona Ryder plays a cab driver?

    "Wings of the Dove" was an awesome movie too.
    In the same theme as Wings of the Dove...has anyone seen the Red Violin (Samuel L Jackson)? Firelight is a really good movie too. Or Immortal Beloved?

    Geez, I really need to stay away from this thread .

    Oh, and I detested Trainspotting. I couldn't get past the part about the baby.

    Sadie,

    You're right. "The Red Violin" is an excellent movie. I love dark romances, especially intertwined with mystery.

    Cheers,

    Hey guys I was shocked to hear that you all liked Rushmore.
    I watched it and thought it was the worst movie ever.
    Now you have got me wondering what I missed. What was the point of the movie? What style was it trying to acheive? What was the message? It left me baffled and I felt sure that nobody else had enjoyed it either. Now it seems that I must have missed a big piece of the puzzle. I would appreciate any help in understanding this film.
