    Lawn.... ( "grassing?"...sounds like a politically correct term for seeding your front or back yard so as to play croquet). Sorry

    Monopoly?

    yes icemanjc, that's the site. One has to click around. But as I said to Cam it's only in French for the moment. Worth a "look-see" when translated. The film will eventually come out in the States and the UK. But where? Only big cities, like New York? London? All depends on distribution for...

    Monopoly?

    Oh, indeed CAM. And it is turning "on them". And us, the consumer, I might add. The reason why ecology parties are gaining ground.... In Europe it has become such a major problem. Algae off the Brittany Coast is killing fishing and tourism, for example. The beaches, in certain regions, are...

    Monopoly?

    Yes, that about sums it up Cam. I suppose my pet peeve is when there is "no choice" which I said earlier and all of you have made very good points. What's the solution? Do the big agrobusiness "farms", for example, that eat up (sorry for the pun) the small ones have the right to dictate what...

    Monopoly?

    I'm no economist but monopolies have nothing to do with Capitalism. Competition. True blue competition is capitalism. If only I had bought all the "Railroads" and "Water Works" I would have won the game. Then again I would have sold the lot just to make sure all is well in my "game." I lost the...

    Separate Tables, with David Niven, Burt lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth, Wendy Hillar, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separate_Tables_(film) Niven was so wonderful in the role. A film that moved me when I saw it for the first time.

    To Kill a Mockingbird. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ6_kA_KfP4&feature=related When I saw this classic for the first time I must have been around 12 to 14 years old. It was so well done but most of all I saw that things were not right in terms of justice and relations with people in a part...

    Movies that made you "think," etc.

    Good start bbloke and EldiabloConCaca I saw a few of what you mentioned. Indeed. Of course there could be a thread concerning books that made the same "impression." But that is for somebody else to post. People come away from movies touched by something when they are well done and "hit a...

    Movies that made you "think," etc.

    Is there a movie that made you "think" or made you look at life in another way? Or that inspired you? Or just said something that meant a lot to you? I'm sure we all have many, but just give one at a time. And WHY? I forgot to add that to this thread earlier. For example: I have one off...

    Yes bbloke and Risiart, the forum has changed since I joined but, there are still some good Mohicans like you guys. I can name others too. "Fidele au poste" as the French say. And thank goodness. I always like to check in from time to time to see what's cooking. I have learned a lot (not only...
