All of the above, but I want to add a pre code movie: I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang with Paul Muni in the main role. Amazing movie1 I haven't checked myself, but apparently Jesus is mentioned by Coran (spelling?)/muslim holly book. Of course, muslims don't considered him God, but a messiah, like Mahomed. I think either Irene Papas or Sofia Loren would have done a better job, at least would have the look more close to real Cleopatra. Cleopatra should not have blue eyes and she need stronger features. They are shown doing eggs, mushrooms, so they didn't eat only grass. Did you learn that at medical school? There is not such think as to link meat to cancers or stroke. That would mean that Islanders or Inuit people die all from cancers and stroke. I am an MD and I can tell you there is no study that links cancer or stroke with meat. Obesity is liked to diabetes, heart disease. But obesity is mostly the result of carbohydrate abuse. Genetics is also a big factor. I fully agree. I wouldn't be so kind so 6/10 is what I consider. No character development, most the roles were quite flat. The actors were great, but the movie lacked something. And the ending...I did not like it. The guy was almost killed by KuKlu-slum, but he managed to reach Germany. Also, he obviously didn't speak German, so how did he establish such a good relationship with a German girl, during war. Afterwards, no tongue, no words, easy I assumed that shows she still cared about him, and acknowledge he was her husband. I agree that Singing in the rain is much better than An American in Paris. I watched it this evening on TCM and there were no subtitles. I understand Italian, but my basic German doesn't always help me. Still I found the Italian non essential. The main theme was that those Italians watching over the bridge hated the Nazi Germans. And the train mechanics said that he wanted to help the guys in the train as they were not German. I was shocked they had to rely on illegal abortion. I thought US was "liberal" world. I know some communist countries have made abortion illegal, but US? Common? Two plays: Romeo and Juliet La Dame aux Camélias (Moulin Rouge, La Traviata) I am also watching it now on TCM. The movie is just over. And I can say I cried more for the fracture between Oliver and his father. Oliver was an arrogant brat, father was normal, it was Oliver that gave him no chance. This is such a sad story. Audrey's dress for Ascot, including hat! Sometimes when you see an airplane, and it looks like it's flying slowly even not moving. It's about many factors, but the truth is the plane is travelling much faster. It's all about reference and distance They are all dead by now, and everybody is equal when 6' under. Amazing movie! I've watched many times, but I noticed only now, when Lady and Lord Bullington were signing those checks, she signed H Lindon to the stupefaction of her son. One movie I'd recommend is the Norwegian The 12th man. It's a true story happening in WWII Norway you won't forget. And another true story is about Francisco Boix and his life in a concentration camp, The photographer of Mauthausen. Both movies are on Netflix. Like Das Boot, none of these two movies are in English. The story is similar but it's a different movie! This thread is about Den12.mann, released in 2017 I've just watched this movie, and I had to end up crying, as the story is amazing, almost difficult to believe, how can somebody survive in conditions so harsh. What Jan and his helping people did is the pure definition of heroes. What a powerful movie. In no particular order just 10 of my favourites Das Boot 1981 Petersen Malena 2000 Tornatore 2001 A Space Odyssey 1968 Kubrick Lawrence of Arabia 1862 Lean L’uomo Delle Stele 1995 Tornatore Ikiru 1952 Kurosawa The Best Years of Our Lives 1946 Wyler Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari 1920 Wiene Lolita 1962 Kubrick Satyricon 1969 Fellini
