If I remember correctly, Big Blue (1988, french movie) is about a diver and "something" that happened to him during a deep dive competition.

Here is the link to my area movie theater, but it does not say that much.

Well, Dave, how do we find it?

Have you ever seen The Mighty? I thought it was a wonderful movie.

I loved The Legend of Bagger Vance too. It made a difference to know it was a rendition of the Gita.

What is there about a movie, a good one. Why do I love them so much!

Okay, now, do you ever watch TV? Anything you like?

Hello Dave,
In going over your list I was stunned to see the movie "American Beauty" recommended. Just what message did this movie portray to you? I found it insulting to my intelligence. It was pure rubbish.
I would add to your list What Dreams May Come, Meet Joe Black, Contact and Solid Gold Cadillac. These movies had substance and a profound message.
This is what makes us unique....the fact we all see things differently. Joyful blessings, Claudette ^j^

I am always amazed at how one person loves a movie and another doesn't.

I believe there is something great to get from any movie. One movie I really liked was The Professional. Gosh, it had violence. It was about a hit man. BUT it had love. This hit man protected a 12-year old girl (Natalie Portman) who had witnessed the murder of her family. He gave his life for her. This was not a sentimental movie at all, but it was love. I've watched it several times.

I recommended it to a friend of mine, and she told me she watched about five minutes of it and wouldn't continue. She couldn't believe I had recommended it. We are simply dear friends with different tastes. I don't think we can say that my taste is superior or inferior to hers. Just different.

I remember about 30 years ago I saw a French movie with a girlfriend. Without going into the whole story, a very young teen-age girl and boy in serious straits through no fault of their own, stood outside a church where a priest was performing a marriage. During this overheard wedding, they exchanged vows. It was the best they could do. They were sweet and innocent. Of course, later the rich father of the boy virtually had him kidnapped and left the girl abandoned. I thought this boy and girl had been given incredible hardships, and they had overcome them. They were in hiding in a cabin in the woods somewhere with their beautiful baby. The boy had gotten work etc. I thought they were inspiration. They had courage and love.

Well, when my friend and I walked out of the movie, she said something like: "Wasn't that DISGUSTING." You would think we hadn't been in the same theatre.

I didn't love every movie Dave mentioned, though I did most of them.

I didn't love every movie you mentioned, Claudette!

Popeye loved spinach, and not everyone does. It doesn't mean anything but one likes it and another doesn't.

And so with movies.

I will mention a few other movies I've liked. Cold Mountain. (I read the book too.) The Cider House Rules. The Gods Must Be Crazy (a must see!).
Another one, I think it's called My Life As It Is, something like that. It takes place in Scotland. Colin Firth is in it.

God bless us all.

With love, Gloria
