Sunscorp:
I love Chocolat and Mists of Avalon! Great choices. I have seen Practical Magic mentioned more than once, and I have watched it a million times.......
2 I haven't seen listed:
for a love story: Swept from the Sea
I also thought Dead Man Walking was very moving as for the power of forgiveness.IP: Logged |

Wow... what a great thread!!  First movie I remember being exposed to: Ten Commandments -- watched that puppy every year! First movie I assisted behind the scenes: Ghost! Thank god, Patrick Swayze made strong demands to have Whoopi Goldberg play, because the Producers weren't sold on her, as my memory serves me. First movie a friend made: Chariots of Fire! Second movie a friend made: Ghandi Loved the Notebook -- my God Fathers best friend stared in that -- James Gardner. (my godfather -- Rod Steiger)Movie was so moving how the husband would stay by her side and even die with her... and how the young girl followed her heart and married her twin flame.. everyone on the set wondered.. would the rich boy have stayed by her side latter?
Any of you ask that question? Contact -- the part where she is in the vehicle and it goes from one end of the sphere to the other -- only minutes on this side -- however, hours of film where running inside the vehicle. That's how it was when I died! I was technically dead for 5 minutes on this side -- seemed like hours on the other side. That scene touched me deeply. The Green Mile -- the healing's that took place and the gentleness of his soul... and like many soft and tender soul's.. didn't want to live in this world of ours any longer! Dances With Wolves! I had spent many vacations with my grand parents in South Dakota... however, the Indians were almost always depicted as savage only. To see their race and mores shown with deep culture, community love and support of their elders and children, and for one of the first times their belief systems valued, was amazing. Matrix -- for all the deep correlations to hidden parts of our world. Pay it Forward -- to spend time holding my daughter and sharing with her the values and belief systems in this movie -- priceless! The Mummy -- especially the scenes where Eddie (the wife) SEE's the old Egypt -- loved those moments. Braveheart -- especially when his dead wife comes to greet him as he is dying. Do you all know that Mel Gibson only got to do that movie, because he didn't get paid upfront $$. To be able to do his Director work, and act -- the took $$ on the back door. However, he had 2 grand trines at the time... and he won two Oscars! City of Angeles! Loved every minute of it... again holding my daughter and talking about it all afterwards... priceless. Star Wars. Joesph Campbell was a major consultant on all the films... but the last one. You should look this mans body of work up! Just a suggestion... Deja Vu. Especially when the girl kept looking up in the air... sensing she was being watched.. and she was! And how about that ending? Sleepless in Seattle. Especially the part that Meg Ryan kept listening to her heart and voice... and it ended up being a win-win-win!
Win for her... Win for Tom Hanks character... and a win for the little son following his inner guidance. Sue G... the movie you asked about with Harrison Ford.. that was called "the Witness".. Kelly stared with him.. and Kelly also stared with Tom Cruise in Top Gun! Well for now... that's seem like a complete list... for now... IP: Logged |

Hmmm, lets see, for some crazy, serious, and true awakening, I recommend: Rosemary's Baby, The Believers with Martin Sheen, The serpent and the rainbow, Thinner by stephen king Constantine with Keanu Reeves; some parts of the movie only. The Celestine Prophecy was good too and Stay Ok, and just recently, I watched 1408 with John Cusack, which was written by Stephen King. That was a great movie. ------------------
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year....
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ~Robert Frost IP: Logged |

I remember seeing John Cusack in "Midnight in the garden of good and evil" That was a intriguing movie and some of the characters are real life and still alive in savannah, Georgia.
Awesome movie.

*I edited some of the above*I also like watching, Heroes For those of you who watched the 1st season, noticed how Silar needed to kill to get their powers while Peter only rubbed off their energy ------------------
