Dis anyone see Sergey Bondarchuk's "Voyna i mir" (War and peace)? Battle of Borodino is probably the best battle silm ever made...

"Able was I ere I saw Elba" - supposed to be (one of) the longest known palindrome(s). Hmmm, I wonder how it would have played out in French.

Straffo est jumelé avec Saintaw.

hehehe

Something completely different, What's the name of that movie in your avatard Beetle? I remember seeing it (Emma Thompson...*droooool*). There's another movie from the same director with Hopkins who plays the role of a buttler in a mansion during WWII... I think it's the only one I haven't seen (from that directoro/actor combo)... can you refresh me on the name of that movie please?

Needless to say, I was never good remembering names

Saintaw - the avatar is from "The Remains of the Day". That IS the one about the WW2 butler (Anthony Hopkins) and the housekeeper (Emma Thompson). One of the best movies I ever saw which achieved its excellence by quality acting, direction and screenplay - and did not depend on special effects, guns, or any of that crap. The only effect was where some of the butlers (and the housekeeper) faded out of a scene to represent the passage of time...
