Hi y'all,

I'd like to put in the following:

Kwaidan (3 japanese ghost stories) especially "Hoichi the earless")
Tsubaki Sanjuro (Toshiro Mifune) for the last scene
Neverwhere (for the "ordeal" scene)
The Full Monty (for determined non-acceptance of the status quo)

And all the movies that are brilliant examples of how NOT to live your life.

And my favorite non-buddhist non-buddhist movie - Propero's Books because it is just so Gorgeous.

back to wrok,

Let me add to the list here--just treated a friend of mine to a viewing of Bubba Ho-tep,
just a wonderful spoof of a 'mummy film,' staring....Elvis Presley!
If you ever wanted to know what really happened to Elvis...
enjoy!

To add to the documentary section of my recommendations:

Man on Wire: a beautiful, beautifully made film. So touching, very moving, thrilling and sad: Destiny!, Love! Friendship! and FAME...

Mais oui, il faut le voir!
