Just saw Capote -- have to say it rates right up there. Match Point is also strangely enticing.
As to those back in time -- "Sleuth", with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, and Peter Sellers in "Being There"
Am going to bed, having seen "House", which has rapidly become my favourite TV show. Hugh Laurie in such a different role to those he had in "Blackadder"

Jambos and I arrive on Saturday around 2pm your time... (I hate daylight saving - we leave at 11:15 our time!).. I am a little worried about the Qantas strike rumblings..
Jambos is keen to have a gathering on Saturday night in town...

I've seen and love all films mentioned but particularly Fargo and Amelie (quirky appeals to me).
However, I've always thought it's just too hard to have a single favourite. Art is like food - variety is important and when you get hungry you eat some more.
I've recently been indulging in swapping between spaghetti westerns and the classic japanese samurai films upon which many of them are based (love my old mate Akira).

Gotta love Fargo..."ehh!!"...."ya! She's a beauty alright".......
I'll never look at a woodchipper the same way again!! For us car lovers the scene in the showroom with the "triple coating....you'll want that"......is a classic.
Tim your's is?????? No hang on, with that avatar has to be Bedazzled..... Pete & Dud or "George of the Jungle" version????

Bedazzled certainly had it's good points!
I think if I've got a fave it'd be Billy Madison. Real high-brow drama!
"Shampoo is better, I go on first and clean the hair. Conditioner is better I leave the hair silky and smooth."

Comedy is very subjective.
I like Adam Sandler - my wife talked me into watching '50 First Dates'. Other than an appreciation of the comedic talents of both Sandler and Barrymore, I had very low expectations. However, I got some great laughs out of that and nearly wet myself when Drew went after Sandler's sidekick (of 'Gigolo' fame) with a golf club.
I also loved 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' - Mike Myers at his best.

This is such an inane comment I could think of no better place than here.
Is it just me or do some of you find that when you scroll back up to hit the link back to the forum the web page sometimes jerks a little and you end up hitting the banner ad immediately above that instead?
It's happened to me a few times and I wonder if it's something to do with my mouse control or a feature built into the page to get you to hit the ad by mistake.
Ahh, never mind - the blue devils are strong this week, courtesy of dealing with 4 days of gross intellectual dishonesty from a judge who shall remain nameless.

I also love what Happy Gilmore did to golf! A game I can't even begin to understand....the other half took me to a driving range and was amazed I could hit a golf ball....well so was I....didn't have the heart to tell him I was aiming at the man in the cart collecting the *****....where ever he was I hit him....it was quite good fun! 
Nother good film just saw is Mrs Henderson presents....Dame Judy Dench has a cracker of a line......mentions something about a Fiddlers F#@k which is hilarious.....said in such a proper way!! Priceless.....
Me now off to gym to run on treadmill for an hour or so.....like watching the videos they have on!!

If you ever get the opportunity (and inclination), try and find on the web the 'true' version of events surrounding the 'Blackhawk Down' incident. The novel and film is the stars and stripes version (as you'd expect).

i just wonder how much of the "true events" are portrayed in movies..
like hostel, amityville horror, wolf creek, etc etc.. when they say that they are based on true events..
like hostel.. it could be something as loose as someone went on a holiday to slovakia.. thats it!

while movies like Hostel, despite being fashioned to make you think it just might happen, never pretend to be anything other than fiction.

Question, people. If you are the only bidder on an ebay auction that has a reserve, and you bump your bids trying to reach the reserve........can the vendor see your top bid?
As I'm the only bidder on this auction at the moment, my opening bid is the one displayed.....even though I have made further bids.

i dont think the bidder can see ur top bid. its usually just done so if u walk away from ur computer u can feel safe uve put in ur maximum bid. Only time they can c ur max bid is if someone goes higher.
ive sold stuff on ebay and never was told wat the persons max bid was
