Ghandi is certainly #1 on our list. I've heard Unforgiven is very good, and much the same story as Michael Clairborn, but very much not a traditional western. English Patient I'm actually shocked I didn't see, as the agency I used to work for designed the poster for that film. Thanks Jason! Ghandi is certainly #1 on our list.

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. Hey Ken…

But, I love movies and usually find the award show pretty entertaining - you can't go wrong with John Stewart hosting.

I find the movies to be too grand and yet, about nothing. (<I>Titanic</I>, 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.)
