As for the other 3 movies I have never seen Pity. I like Zhivago, but don't love it (also too long, but way better than Arabia.) Samurai is a masterpiece in my opinion. I will be interested as to what you think of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656769712133410719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-87077703649939060512015-07-16T19:11:24.468-04:002015-07-16T19:11:24.468-04:00Well, we'll agree to disagree here then.

Have seen Zhivago (didn't like it) and Samurai (remember rating it high, but don't really remember it) and have never seen Sorrow.Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-45513665742545366822015-07-16T19:09:48.208-04:002015-07-16T19:09:48.208-04:00Well I like some of the ones you mentioned there, ...Well I like some of the ones you mentioned there, but I'm glad we see eye to eye on Lawrence!

It's a pretty decent film, if, perhaps a tad too long. OK, I will admit I don't feel like dedicating this afternoon to it.. I'm certainly glad I have dedicated an afternoon or two to it in the past.<br />So a disagree, but not as much as with Blade runner.<br />I now have to face the wrath of Amanda for not hating this...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918265332894443061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-90032495827857052112015-07-16T05:17:32.051-04:002015-07-16T05:17:32.051-04:00I've yet to see this, but a good friend of min...I've yet to see this, but a good friend of mine (whose taste in films I trust) tried to watch this after Peter O'Toole's death and couldn't finish it. Boring beyond words. He said it belonged in the company of other wildly overrated 'classics' we'd already formed consensus on (The Maltese Falcon, Vertigo, Ben Hur, Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
