    That scene is also a favorite of mine. BTW, have you seen Rashômon before?

    I’ve seen it and do like the movie. The opening of the film is hilarious. Two men returning from grave digging duties following a war, cut each other for stinking from deaf corpses - - “s***worm” stands as a favorite of mine. This is one of Kurosawa’s most underrated films, IMO. Mifune does an excellent job. Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fukiwara bring comedy to the film. The Hidden Fortress is the original force behind Star Wars.
  12. Gordon gets fouled, but still makes the three-pointer.

    Yoda's Film Reviews

    Directed By: William Wyler Cast: Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Haya Harareet, Stephen Boyd, Hugh Griffith, Martha Scott, Cathy O'Donnell, Sam Jaffe and Finlay Currie Genre: Action/Drama Length: 212 mins. Cinema: 1959 Rating: G If you thought Gladiator was good, then you haven’t seen anything yet. As a matter of fact, Ben-Hur is no gladiator movie. As the title sequence tells us, this is "A Tale of the Christ," an unabashed religious fable, albeit one that only shows its hero from the back. Of course, Jesus is not the real subject of this tale, it's Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince living in Judea, played by Charlton Heston. Ben-Hur lives high on the hog, here in the year 26, as we're told. And he's a good guy, nice to his slaves and everything. But woe be unto Judah when the Romans step up their military presence in his territory. Despite their being led by his old friend Massala (Stephen Boyd), tensions run high, and when some tiles accidentally fall from Ben-Hur's roof, nearly hitting the new Governor of Judea, Judah is quickly sentenced without trial to hard labor, rowing in the galleys of the Roman navy. From prince to slave he goes, and because of his endless compassion, Ben-Hur finds himself legally adopted by a Roman nobleman whose life he has saved years later. He practices his charioteering, and soon enough he is at liberty to avenge not only his imprisonment, but that of his mother and sister as well. That vengeance, as any moviegoer knows, takes place on the chariot course in a sequence so famous, dramatic, and long it consumes 10 chapters of the film's 61-chapter DVD release. Ben-Hur won 11 awards out of 12 nominations making it the most awarded film of it’s time. Charlton Heston took home the Best Actor award for the title role, while Hugh Griffith won the Best Supporting Actor award for his portrayal of Sheik Ilderim. William Wyler won the Academy Award for Best Direction. Only problem I have with this film is its length. If it were cut down to at least 2 hours then it would have made the movie more enjoyable. But don’t mind me. Heston is unforgettable. His performance is what makes this film so special. The chariot race says it all for me. Grade: A

    Christmas Vacation is easily one of my favorite Christmas movies. Seeing Chevy Chase installing over 20,000+ lights is hysterical. Both 1 and 2 are awesome.

    Mexicans Heading Home

    I don’t think so. I’ve been down there Christmas time and on Easter time. This time of year, Christmas time, is jam-packed. Not only are the bridges nasty, but just to get thru security is a pain. Gasoline stations are full with impatient drivers, restaurants are full... things get crazy. I thought summer time was the busiest, but no way does that compare to this time of year.
