On the Waterfront. Marlon Brando's my fav actor and the taxi cab scene is one of the saddest and most heart-breaking scenes in cinema. Hollywood at it's best!

I never tire of watching Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart in The Philadelphia Story!

Yeah that is a classic....I like most things with Jimmy Stewart Katherine Hepburn was good in On Golden Pond with Henry Fonda as well.

www.netflix.com

It's actually pretty cool, rental dvds by mail. You create a list of desired movies, they send one or more to you with a postage paid return envelope. You return a movie, they send you another.

I was just browsing though movies in iTunes, Science Fiction specifically. I was watching a couple of the Star Trek trailers and afterwards looked to see if they had the complete set of movies. Number V wasn't there. My reaction?

"I guess they didn't consider it Science Fiction."




The movie is there; it's in alphabetical order. Computers. <_<
