DR BrettySpaghetti, I took a gander at you list of favorite movies.
I'll keep my LAWRENCE OF ARABIA as a favorite film, if not my all-time favorite, for as long as you keep AMERICAN BEAUTY on your list, and we'll call it even.
Perhaps some other DRs can explain to me the appeal of AMERICAN BEAUTY, for as I've previously stated, I find it to be one of the more pretentious pieces of claptrap that I have ever seen.
As for LAWRENCE, not even the superbit dvd can replicate the sheer magnitude this film has on a super-sized theater screen, so it's a film I watch on rare, special occasions - e.g., it makes for great dvd viewing on a cold winter night.
