1. My dear charlie and algernon!
He has made so many great movies, it's hard to choose...

But my sentimental favorite has to be "Hoosiers."

So many great scenes, such wonderful acting, and of course the story!

Just. Love. It.

:hi:

4. oh i know!
I went to IMDB to make sure I had all his movies covered and couldn't believe all the movies he's been in. You could have 20 slots for the poll and it wouldn't be enough. Hoosiers is an amazing movie, one of many from a legendary actor!

2. I hate that Mississippi Burning was true, but it was a good movie.
I saw it not too long ago. I am from MS and know the history, but I was so sick by that movie. Not to mention that there was a trial not long ago convicting Edgar Ray Killen of manslaughter. It took a long time, but he was finally convicted.

5. Do you know what my father told me Ms. Tessmacher?
GET OUT!...

No, no...before that.




Why...Why does the phone always ring when you're sitting
in the tub? Why do restaurants call animal intestines sweetbreads? Why would the most brilliantly diabolical leader of all time surround himself with
total incompetents?


:D
