Looks like we need to get together and have a movie marathon!

How was Amadeus btw?

I’m not big on the Academy Awards. I find the movies to be too grand and yet, about nothing. (Titanic, anyone? Heart of the Sea? Come on!). Annie Hall is a favorite of mine. The only other movie I have seen that you have not is The English Patient which is good but way too long. I’m not big on long movies. Directors have a lot of nerve expecting that kind of time from me for the schlock they produce. (I did see Gandhi but it was so long ago that I can’t conscionably list it.)

Hey Ken…

Of the ones you have not seen, I have seen only The English Patient, Unforgiven, and Gandhi. I show Gandhi every year in my Gobal classes and I think it’s great! Beautiful music and Ben Kingsley is amazing, plus a epic true story. I thought the Unforgiven was truly terrible. For a western, it had virtually no action and…I don’t know, I saw it when I was in 9th grade, so that could be a factor. The English patient WAS a bit long, but a good story. Of the one’s I’ve seen, I’d go Gandhi (carve out 3 hours), English Patient (another 3), and then Unforgiven.
