My Fair Lady was one that everyone got to watch in the school auditorium in high school. I loved it. But didn't have friends to share that
excitement with. Read the Shaw play Pygmalion and tucked that away for later when we did the musical last summer, well, two summers ago.
Spirited Away is a great movie too. One that's stuck with me in my memory

SA was entertaining... though the movements are not fluent and that can get me a little annoyed.
Just seen Barry Lyndon. Amazing film! Not too long at all!
I stayed awake all the time in spite of watching late and having got up at 4:30. And my father stayed awake all the time, which is very rare indeed.

saw Barry Lyndon for the first time just over a month ago as a friend had it. watched it over a couple days, helps something like that soak in
better I think 
Loved it. Never seen a Kubrick movie I couldn't find a reason to like.
This one not only did I enjoy his settings and such -- he did model his sets and the look of the whole movie after studying a great number of 18th
century paintings!!! -- I liked the inclusion of different kinds of music for all the different places that the character wound up in . . . and what
a reprehensible schmuck!! Can't like the guy but O'Neal did a surprisingly great job.
Also saw Lolita recently. Spartacus is and old fave of mine as are 2001 and Clockwork.
I like different directors for different things and movies are rarely that important to me. 12 Monkeys of Terry Gilliam has messed with my head for a
long while now. but he's still far and away the best director I think. As good as Hitchcock but with bigger themes like Orson Welles, and surpasses
Kubrick not with sleekness but with grit.
haven't seen the Grimm Bros. But The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is as funny as . . . Mel Brooks or the Marx bros, anything!!!
You all have seen so many movies I haven't tho . . .
I've also loved everything I've seen by the guy that did Spirited Away. Amazing!!!
I can't say I'm a David Lynch fan (just don't know most of what he's done) but Wild At Heart is a pretty great movie.
I think Putney Swope by Robert Downey is a great movie. check it out.
I also really liked Roger Rabbit. excellent!!
Fritz Lang of course, Metropolis.
all Fellini movies are tops.
I also learned a lot with Burnt By The Sun, a Russian movie from the last 15 years.
The Man With A Camera is a classic Russian silent that also gives a vivid portrait of late 1920's Russia. MUST SEE!
I love to watch silent movies. Even German expressionists. Das Boot is great. Bridge On The River Qwai. High Noon. There's even a Bing Crosby,
Grace Kelly movie I love that I can't remember the name of!

I don't really like Fellini to be honest. I've only seen Amarcord, and that made me sleepy.
Silent movies rule! Ever seen The Robber's Symphony? It ran for 20 solid years in Dutch cinema.
I don't know many Russian movies, but one that really caught me was Lost in Siberia, something about an Englishman who is arrested for being a spy
while he isn't and put for 10 years in a Siberian penal colony. A very creepy and disturbing film that was.

In Italian movies I like the weddingparty scenes where
everybody .........everybody while father, loaded with alcohol, is speeching to nobody standing on the table with his trausers on his knee. Great,
only the Italian language makes you so tired. That it can be that I was dreaming it.

Barry Lyndon was indeed great camerawork.
But the faces of my daughters when the little son was dying wins prices.

Just seen Spartacus. Not Kubrick's best, too Kirky, but still very enjoyable.

And now I can add Space Odyssey to my Kubrick collection. My only negative thoughts about it is the last section really made me feel nauseous.

I saw Blackbook. Normally I'm not so fond of war movies. But since one of my daughters live in the same building as were the props are stored, I was a
little curious, Should I recognize the things I saw in store. The answer is yes.
The movie, who bothers. It is a pure verhoeven movie., so don't be suprised if you see some pubic hair.

You don't like war movies either then?
You're in bad luck when you're Dutch and don't like war movies. Around 50% of the Dutch films is about WW2.

Blonde Dolly
It is a dutch story about a prostitute in the mid of the last century. She was murdered in 1959 and the murderer is never found. She was not only a
prostitute but had here contacts in the political scene.
One day I was visiting the graveyard for a visit to our family grave. At the entrance there was a new computer. If you knew a namen the only thing yoy
had to do was typing in his/hers name and a plan of the graveyard was printed whit the shortest route. Off course I tried it and found out that on the
back side of the plan famous people and places on the graveyard were marked. One of them was from the famous Blonde Dolly.
I walked to her stone and found out that my visit was on the day that she died. She also had the same birthday as my mother. Since then I want to know
who killed her and I wanted to see the movie. But that was harly available.
But now I have one.

O yeah, I told it before  I'm getting old.
no I haven't seen it yet. need 2 hours and I cannot find so much sparetime in one block.
(But I've seen the movie years ago. It is not a historic document. Lot of facts are misused or not used. )

I want to shoot movies of Gothic castles, monasteries, abbeys and cathedrals: with and without roofs, with and without windows, with and without
inhabitants or visitors, all over Europe. For fun. Well, it'd be nice if somebody paid me to do it

A little fundraising here ??
You have to go to France (Bretagne) at the trail of DDay
In England
In Holland by my knowledge there is only one church without a roof. that one is in Bolsward
Saskia or Zazkia the sister Of BBP has been to England and has some nice pictures.
Monasteries in use are quite common in Belgium (Due to the trappist beer)
Also in Greece There are some monastery ruins from the crusaders
In Eindhoven you have the remains of an old Monastery (but it is only one wall)
Traveling in Europe including meals, entrances etc. Will cost aprox. 150 Euro's a day (200$)
4 countries including tavel. Think of a budget of 8000$ upto 10000$

For a start you can use the travels of others to orientate for free. As I may advise to you, please visit this wonderful website.
Click, here This is a link to the world heritage
Very special is the Cathedrale of d''Amiens (Aquagoat is living overthere) and Mechelen in Belgium.
It is also possible to visit the pyramids and the borobodur and of course Ground zero.
All in astonishing 360 degree picture steered by mouse and possibilities to rotate and zoom. (Do'nt do that on the floor of Amiens it will make you
dizzy)
You also can visit the Netherlands Special is the Beemsterpolder or the defence line around Amsterdam.
WARNING
To explore this site can cost you hours, It is so beautiful.
