the seven samuraii,  did you ever see dreams?

great film.  god, i cant believe i left kurosawa (sp?) of the list.

one of the best directors ever.

great list saburo.

did you know that the national archives spent 10 million restoring "all quiet on the western front"?  one of the things that i love about this great nation.

appearantly, it was banned pre wwII in europe as it was considered an anti war film.  another great movie.  did a whole series of etchings on it in college.  they did a remake with "johnboy" from the waltons, but i was never able to find it.  great book as well.

I can't believe I left Blazing Saddles, Airplane! and Caddyshack off my list. No wonder comedies are often overlooked at the Oscars. Their greatness is only known after time. Man, I picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue.

SPR had the most realistic battle scenes of any movie made to date. You could almost smell the cordite.
