[CarlS]

I agree with Schindler's List and North by Northwest for sure.

 

[DaveM]

As you may have all noticed I listed :The Green Mile" on top of my movie list. For some reason this movie had such a great impact on me and today I see that Michael Clarke passed away

‘Green Mile’ actor Michael Clarke Duncan dead at 54 following July 13 heart attack

 

[otherwise]

I had a friend about the same size as Clarke, he did actually workout a lot and always said he was drug free. He also never got to 60 and those who were "very" close to him said the bodybuilding drugs caused his heart attack. It just isn't worth it.

Back on topic, I was going to sit when I get time to make my list, just quickly,

Bagdad Caffee
Cold Comfort Farm
Rain Man
Best In Show
No country For Old Men
The Darjeeling Limited

That's enough for now, back to work.

 

[shanered6]

yes very sad indeed ! he was brilliant in the green mile .

 

[CarlS]

That is side. The Green Mile is a good movie and he did a fine job of acting.
