  Hi Yin Girl. Never seen or heard of the movie 'The Boys in the Boat'. Enjoy the Dune Movies. The Dune Movies are based on a novel by Frank Herbert - the book is much better than the Dune Movies; however, the book can go into more detail!Edited 05-Nov-24 06:54am

  https://youtu.be/dfEA-udzjjQ?si=pMWlvQ7EAu3IHBY9 Based on the best-selling book about the inspirational true story of the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed for gold at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. Based during the depression and Directed By: George Clooney. Loved it found myself literally rowing in my seat, cheering them on. It's a good feel movie :)

I have many,all for different genres,decades etc. So...my first childhood movie..Wizard of Oz,( changing from black and white to colour amazed me as a child). Around the world in 80days, The great race. And a more recent one that is a bit of a psychological thriller but with a twist" The gift". Worth watching if you haven't seen it. I also love any movie with Keanu Reeves,ie Constantine,John Wick.

HeyYou
I would have to say, "Steel Magnolias" For me being born and raised in the south, A LOT of time in Mississippi... actually quite funny because it's also where I got license to start doing hair for the very first time over 30 plus years ago so it has a special meaning on that front too you'll have to watch the movie to find out what I mean, would say this was more accurate of what I experienced luckily. But not all ares of the south, even to today are much more conservative and a lot less open-minded about how people are born and the like.. another hint watch the movie. If you look at the cast, it is absolutely an extraordinary group of actors and actresses! It's stirs every emotion you could have over and over and over again all throughout this movie! For those of you who have not seen it please give it a shot.. LOL just an idea actors and actresses dad just adore that are in this movie pretty much all of them but you have Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Olympia Dukakis, Sally field, Shirley MacLaine folks, Daryl Hannah, Dylan McDermott, nd the list goes on, so I definitely highly recommend!! 10 stars from meEdited 28-Oct-24 06:06am

  I m sorry you experienced that. I would like to ask though...when are "white people" like myself going to stop being blamed for all that our ansistordid? I mean, i do undrrstand being I'm gay...so please dont tell me about segrigation! WE are just as "white washesd" as you say that you.. during also why people turn everything that people say about the south into a racial issue and it's always seems to be the black folks that bring up the race issue, as it is important, some of us are just trying to talk about a movie that we love that I did not list it for a racial issues my reason i listed it had nothing to do with race it was not the primus of the movie. Please STOP with making everything out as race card!

- 30-Oct-24 22:56pm
  HeyYouBLACK LIVES MATTER
  it's very very offensive for you to assume that all people from the South are like that or anything of that sort. Your last comment is totally inappropriate and when are people going to put down the bat, and get off the cross?, because we need the wood ...to survive the floods not to beat Caucasians up forever... even though most of us stand strong by your side... because of something that idiots of the Caucasian ancestral race started hundreds of years ago.? It seems to me that the south is still full of black folks, so why is that and their states are so ... red? GO BLUE you might find that more of us "Caucasians " care more than you think.Edited 30-Oct-24 22:57pm

I can't decide on a best ever.. for most tragique and independent film it was a French one called Betty Blue. Back to the Future pts 1 2 and 3 all amazing ,though the 1st always the best.

  Hi Liane H. The Color Purple is a great movie with an outstanding cast. The book: The Color Purple is better than the movie - but the book can always go into more detail. I like Sister Act 2 better then Sister Act especially in Sister Act 2 - when the young Black kid hits that high note when singing 'Oh Happy Day'. I will have to check out Betty Blue. Is the movie in French - French is my first language! Edited 27-Oct-24 14:31pm

  Hi Walter ,the Movie Betty Blue is in English with subtitles but l'm sure there was a French version also as it won 8th highest grossing film in France in 1986. It's a psychological romantic drama based on a beautiful girl who unfortunately descends into madness. Based on a book 37.2 le matin. One most definitely not for the kids to watch as she's naked for a good deal of the time Lol! Loved that Happy day note also in Sister Act and Lauryn Hill singing as well ;)) Edited 27-Oct-24 18:26pm

  To deal with a hostage situation, you should: Remain calm, be polite, and cooperate with your captors. DO NOT attempt escape unless there is an extremely good chance of survival. Speak normally. DO NOT complain, avoid being belligerent, and comply with all orders and instructions. Negotiators must slowly establish communication with the hostage-takers. Isolate the area and avoid deception. Have a policy against ransoms as a deterrent against hostage seizures. Try to connect with your kidnappers, but don't pretend to support them. Observe as much of your environment as you can. Do not admit to accusations if you're interrogated. Find a way to communicate if there are other captives. Or you could … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXtlR_7l6xQ&list=PLZbXA4lyCtqp_dayBM3htOw8ETmxiTKNe&index=3 Edited 27-Oct-24 10:56am

	The best movie YOU have ever seen
	BLACK LIVES MATTER	25-Oct-24 04:06 am
	The best movie I have every watch is 'Wolfen' release in 1981. A horror, crime movie filmed in film nor style with all scenes at night. The ending of the movie will catch you completely off guard - rated GP - no sex scenes in the movie! Not the type of movie you watch with your kids because it has dark humor and very dark psychological overtones in the movie!
