Will that be lilies or roses?
I was thinking about your requiem mass, darling.

Actually, darling I think RoadKnight was referring to the bass guitar in Bassdude's avatar.
Very quietly and with studied calm, Sappho enquires,
This is a reference to a musical instrument and not Wilma's shotgun?
Good grief man! Do you really want to quibble with a woman with riotous hormones?
Will that be lilies or roses?

I believe he is going into therapy in Shropshire Harry0. We are confident of a complete recovery from the stress and anxiety associated with predicting the trends in worrying about unfounded rumour which may have a basis in fact and yet be unsubstantiated to the complete satisfaction of the government, Minister.

Another tough question but I tackled it with my usual zest. The following is not definitive and I may have to go to another 10, but here's a start.
Now Voyager - Bette Davies, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains. "Don't lets ask for the moon Jerry, we have the stars." This is the movie where Henreid habitually lights two cigarettes at once and passes one to Davis. Sigh
Rear Window - the best of Hitchcock's movies in my humble opinion.
All About Eve - another Bette Davis classic with a very young Anne Bancroft: "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride."
Showboat - I love fifties musicals and this is superb with Ava Gardner and Howard Keel.
Great Expectations - David Lean directing the indecently young Alec Guinness and John Mills.
The Captive Heart - Forties POW movie with Michael Redgrave. On a par with Went the Day Well about a fictitious German invasion of an English Village. Superb British propaganda during the dark days of war.
Pandora and the Flying Dutchman - the sexual chemistry between James Mason and Ava Gardner!
Mildred Pierce - a fine example of forties film noir with the inimitable Joan Crawford.
Bhowani Junction - Ava Gardner (again) and the gorgeous Stewart Granger in the film adaptation of John Masters' excellent novel of pre-independence India.
Sunset Boulevard - atmospheric, gripping, excellent.

"Sappphhhhhooooooooo!"
Anyone seen her?
Did you vocalise in my general direction, Fred? Here, as ever, willing to lend a helping hand wherever it may be needed although I have been a very busy little bunny today. Actually got some work done! So, what can I do for you, darling, mmm?

I know - Sappho, next you get Will into a compromising position in which he is at your mercy and can refuse you nothing, ask him what his Top 10 single digit numbers are. You can ask him as slowly as you like.
It's a tough job but someone has to do it! The man's a tiger! Can I use the silk scarves? :twisted:
But getting back to the thread... I have to agree with the posts for Ice Age and Shrek. Shrek I can watch over and over again - can't wait for Shrek II - and as for Ice Age... only seen it once, but that is definitely a must-see-again. Loved it. As I recall, Reign of Fire was on that night too - not brilliant, but watchable in good company.

The book was great (Foucault's Pendulum was a few million times better), but too much was hacked out and compressed and simplified for the movie. Disappointing.
You have a point DJohn - but imagine what they would do to Foucault's Pendulum? It would be impossible! I thought the essence of the Rose was captured, but it would have been impossible to get all the theological intricacies in to it.

This thread has intrigued me all day whilst working on some incredibly dull documents, and now finally, with my G&T (sorry Will, it's not Gordon's, it's Bombay Sapphire), I can finally have a think about it... so here goes in no particular order...
Witness - the most sympathetic account of Amish traditions with a superb soundtrack and the delectable Harrison Ford
Sense and Sensibility - Emma Thompson's empathy with Austen is astounding even if she did play with the story slightly
Shakespeare in Love - witty, romantic, superb
Gorky Park - compelling and fascinating
Iris - moving with superb casting
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - then again The Life of Brian... or The Meaning of Life - damn cannot decide
The Draughtsman's Contract - fabulous soundtrack by Talman
The Last of the Mohicans - spectacular cinematography plus Daniel Day Lewis
Rob Roy - Dear God, Liam Neeson in a kilt! Not to mention the reintroduction of the word 'quim' - I've won Scrabble matches with that!
The Name of the Rose - as compelling as Umberto Eco's novel and starring the superb Sean Connery
But then there's more recently the Lord of the Rings, and Wings of the Dove, and A Room with a View, and Maurice, and Chicago and Notting Hill and - too many superb movies to choose from!
