Can’t choose just one, so here are a few George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead Army of Darkness The Omega Man The Quiet Earth any 90’s TOHO Godzilla movie Fritz Lang’s Metropolis There are many more but those come to mind fastest. ---

_Star Wars_ Boy, would I love to weild a lightsaber! \*Captain Ron[i/] Boy, would I love to tool around the Caribbean year 'round without a care in the world! And, although it technically won’t be released until December 2001, as I get deeper into the book I find that living in Middle Earth during the events of \*Fellowship of The Ring[i/] would be kinda cool. ---

In no particular order: Indiana Jones (1st or 3rd) Following Indy around the jungles and fighting Nazi’s is very appealing. Silverado - Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner riding horses…yum… Maverick - Two words: Mel Gibson. Pride and Prejudice ( A&E version) I’ll just follow Mr. Darcy around like an obsessed little puppy then challenge Elizabeth Bennett to a Cage Match over him in the final climatic scene. EverAfter - Dougray Scott, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Adventures of Robin Hood - Errol Flynn Version or even the Costner version ( both have excellent villians) I am, if you did not notice, motivated by the male factor here. ---

…uhh, does this have to be, like, a mainstream theater type of film? Because I’ve seen a few tapes at home of the, er, adult nature that, well, I wouldn’t mind being in the middle of. …well, _somebody_ was going to say it. Otherwise, for some reason, _The Man Without A Face_ and _Shadowlands_ come to mind for beautiful scenery. …and, of course, _Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure_. ---

Wow, Tracer, I remember Logans Run! I would pick Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Robin Hood, STAR WARS, Toy Story, but most of all: Harry Potter!!! ---
