The Thorn Birds. I still get goose bumps when I think of the love between Ralph and Meggie.

The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. It was a powerful message of encouragement to those given a specific mission from the Lord that may take many years to accomplish, against all odds.

Not really a movie buff. The big one for me is The Lion in Winter. Katherine Hepburn won her 3rd Oscar as Eleanor of Aquitaine, Peter O'Toole was fantastic as Henry II, Anthony Hopkins made his film debut as Richard Coeur de Lion. The film is based on a Broadway play written by James Goldman. Plots and subplots and counter plots, wrapped in beautiful, forceful, flowing dialogue.

Litwitlou; don't know if you know this, but O'Toole's role as Henry II was a reprise of his role as the king in the movie "Becket" which also starred Richard Burton as Thomas Becket.

Yes, I haven't seen that movie in quite awhile. I remember the two riding through the fields when they come upon a pretty peasant girl. Henry takes her into her hut. Then he tosses her dad a bag of coins and rides off.

I like the heavy stuff
I had forgotten "Cuckoo's Nest." That one is big with me also - I do turn it over in my mind from time to time. Unforgettable characters, especially Nurse Ratched and McMurphy.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Son of German officer befriends a Jewish boy at the camp. If you watched this movie, it will really give you tears in your eyes and remind you that friendship has no boundaries

I don't know if I mentioned this already but there is a really low-budget 1990 movie called "Mind Walk" that I found very intriguing. So intriguing that I literally watched it twice in the same day.
