I see penchant for violence along with bowling as well as great vista scenes with heavy music and overpowering riffs. And for once, Freud has nothing to say, so perhaps you were right in a way. – Dr. Ronin ---

Dr. Zhivago > 6. Rebecca > 7. The Best Years of Our Lives > 8. All About Eve > 9. The Haunting (the 1963 version) > 10. Beauty and the Beast (Disney) Quite a cross section. Let’s see. I see a love for good looking men and women for that matter, so you have a great drawing for beauty. There is an interesting connection between Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Rebecca, that is they both contain a female’s name. How it’s interesting, I’m not quite sure, but it is none the less. Or so the 8 ball tells me. Freud has an interesting observation, “You also enjoy the music that comes with the movies so I find you have an aural fixation.” Ouch! Stop hitting me! HE SAID IT!!! – Dr. Ronin ---

**For Miss Mapp** : 1. Room With A View 2. Lord of the Rings (especially “Fellowship…”) 3. Lawrence of Arabia 4. Breakfast at Tiffany’s 5. Dr. Zhivago 6. Rebecca 7. The Best Years of Our Lives 8. All About Eve 9. The Haunting (the 1963 version) 10. Beauty and the Beast (Disney) You are fiercely romantic and with none of the maudlin tastes that sometimes accompany that characteristic. Your tastes are refined. You like poking around antique shops, picnics, tweeds, the early years of _Victoria_ magazine, rebelliousness, the well-written retort, solitude, writing, and the company of women. You have a good eye for beauty and are very observant. You find beauty where others might not notice. When you love, you do it with all of the stops pulled out. You have saved many items from your childhood. You are intuitive even though you are not sure that you even believe in it. You feel a sense of _home_ when you are near the ocean. You remember your dreams. Although they are not on your list, you also like movies with Gary Grant or Ingrid Bergman. BTW, if you haven’t seen the Merchant-Ivory film _Heat and Dust_, I think that you would like it. ---

You must fight the “good” fight against wrongdoing and the mean people of the world. You seek the fairytale love only found in movies (heh) and the chance of finding it is small. You prevail though because your heart tells you so. In life also, you find song and the beauty that comes from stopping to smell the roses once in awhile. You seek hope in the cruel light of day and you know your truest friends will always be there to fight along side you. Maybe you daydream a lil’ too much but it helps to keep you young at heart. Life can be an adventure for you and you enjoy the journey. Remember… all you need is love. I might be full of crap, too (tee hee). ---

No particular order and I will have forgotten something extremely obvious. Not really a filmbuff at all. Caro Diario (Dear Diary) Fargo Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Monty Python & the Holy Grail The Unbearable Lightness of Being Labyrinth A Clockwork Orange The Godfather Reservoir Dogs Just realised I can’t think of a tenth for the life of me. Will leave that open for the genius masterpieces that I’ve never seen.
