My Mom has always loved "The Apostle" so I added it to my queue. I went to add Malcom X as well but saw it was 321 minutes so I ran away. That's a long movie! Is it really worth it? Does anything happen? :) Nice article B-love! My Mom has always loved “The Apostle” so I added it to my queue. I went to add Malcom X as well but saw it was 321 minutes so I ran away.

The ending is no surprise for us--and somehow, it isn't for them, either. From the moment they meet, they know what is going to happen. Haha, I read our review of the movie again and now I am on youtube listening to the soundtrack... what an excellent movie that was...

I really enjoy discussing and debating movies with other movie lovers! danggoodmovies - I am happy to meet you and am excited to read your postings as well. I am humbled by your compliments. namelessneed - I am exactly the same in terms of coming up with that ever-shifting list. I have tried and tried to create a "top 100" as well, but as soon as I put down three or four movies, I already start moving them up and down the list! I also suspect that it will have to be on my deathbed, when I am unable to take more time to edit the list. Wow, I am so pleased that you both have enjoyed my thoughts on those movies.

Whenever I enjoy a fine film I might say to myself "that one might make my top 100" (a list I've never written,cannot, I suspect.Something I'll review on my deathbed,maybe.) Magnolia will always be in my top 20 (top 10 or 5 maybe) thanx cinema brother,We who find our passion for film unarguably meaningful (thanx for the Woody Allen Blurb),those of us who sit in generally the same seat there in the dark, those of us that think about the cinematic dream we experianced long after we’ve left the theater,this Art we revere moves us and influences us profoundly.
