Hi, Brian, nice to hear from you. Your thread is kind of a "hard call" for me because I am a big movie fan.
But I believe my favourite love movie of all time is
"THE THORN BIRDS"
starring Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward, Bryan Brown.
"A priest torn between God and human passion. A beautiful girl desiring only what she cannot have. Five decades of ambition, fear, longing and revenge."
My mom cries everytime she's watching it ..... and so do I because its such a wonderful and bittersweet movie.

ohh, requim of a dream was so harsh! But, i suppose it was good because it was sadly realistic.

I think "crouching tiger hidden dragon" is one of the best movies ever. I also like an obscure early seventies commie film called the strawberry statement or something like that. Kinda weird, I know but I just like these best.

Don't mean to be typical but:
What movie? Love Story(1970)
Why? Because of its intensive human and noble sentiments.

favourite movies: 'saving the last dance', nice pick up movie. a bit sad but very romantic. Very good soundtract. Also, 'the silence of the lambs', not recommended to watch with your date but still a Great movie (suspense, horror).
As a Canadian, I can tell you that winter in Northern China IS NOT colder than winter in Southern Canada (unless you are from British-Columbia but thats only one region out of 13), let alone colder than Northern Canada. Trust me. in China it doesnt go below -40 C as it does here.

Favoriet movies has to be a tie between Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs. Two great movies I can watch over and over without becoming bored. The dialogue in these films compliments the plot twists you find. Interesting chracters,Bizare senerios,and interesting plot twist. I should mention that Resevoir Dogs is heavily ripped off from a similar John Woo film called City On Fire .
Favoriet book has to be 1984 because the vook details what might have happen when goverment becomes too invovled into the personal life of people. Orwell really had a gidt to foresee the future and many things mentioned in the book are occuring in today's times in America. A close second on the book list would have to be Brave New World about Genetics gone wrong.
I mostly read non-fiction histrical books instead of fiction.

one of the classics: "casablanca" with ingrid bergman and humphrey bogart about hurted hearts, lost souls, deep love and uncried tears. and about the power of a woman to a man´s life. at the same time it shows many different characters of survivers of the WW II.
and: "harold and maude" about breaking off the rules and about an unequal romance. kind of british-sarcastic and lovely-poetic.

Tv-movie, these days I think a lot about ' Code Red' with Jack Nicholson and (I am not so well in names) Brad Pitt (?) A young legal marine-officer charges a veteran marinecommander (Jack Nicholson) for having ordered some recrutes to ' handle' another recrute with ' code red'. The ' weak' marinestudent does not survive the harassment. The arrogance of some Military professionals who believe they are beyond the law because we civilians don't know what it takes to defend our country, safety, whatever. \ And most of all, two recrutes that still believe they should follow orders, where they are obliged by their code of honour to protect the weak! The Seven Samurai, Akiro Kurosawa, priestfighters that came to save a village of farmers but, after they won the struggle where not aloud to live (marry, work) with the villagers, for one does not need fighters in a civil society.

Yes, Lost in translation was a really good movie, 2003's best i'd say. Check out the soundtrack too, it's really good....and if you like Sofia Coppola then check out the Virgin Sucidies, another really good movie by her...
