"Basketball is like poetry in motion." People laud Hoop Dreams, but this is the best movie about the greatest game. Love the Copland. Rodeo was made for a streetball game.

I just rewatched this. Easily my favorite Disney film. Timon and Rafiki are genuinely funny. Great casting on all voices. Part of the appeal is nostalgia, but this movie is really good.

I don't know why but I fell for the Jack and Rose love story back in the day and it hasn't wore off. Great soundtrack

The Godfather 5.0 Stars
This movie makes me hungry for Italian food. But seriously though this movie sticks in my gut. I'm disgusted by the characters. I'm fascinated by the characters. I want to be a Corleone (I'd even settle for Tom Hagen or Clemenza).

Another one of the greats. Ridley Scott gets it right about every other movie. This one he got it right. Love Joaquin Phoenix in it.

Jules and Jim 4.5 Stars
While the endless plot circles of the love triangle grew a little tiring, the combined rapidity and intimacy of Truffaut's style is something to treasure.

And if anyone knows where I can get a recording of the song that Catherine sings (also on the DVD menu screen), let me know. It's ingrained in my head and I need to exorcize it.
