   Enjoy the 4th. There are movies and then there are movies. Here is my list of movies that I can always watch whenever they are on or from a DVD over and over:

   1. Independence Day. Cheesy I know but I can't help it.
   2. The Razors Edge. Bill Murray was fantastic
   3. Pulp Fiction. Samuel Jackson was Awesome.
   4. 13th Warrior. Great battle speech and just some Viking fun
   5. Henry V Kevin Branaugh and a truly moving and historic battle speech
   6. The Man Who Would Be King
   7. From Dusk til Dawn
   8. Creator - with Peter O'Toole
   9. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
   10. Being There.

   The Outlaw Josey Wales
   32 Short Films About Glen Gould
   Patton
   The Day the Earth Stood Still - the original not the blasphemous remake starring, pardon the expression, Keanu Reeves.

   For the 4th of July we probably need to do our lists of favorite westerns, but that would have to be a separate thread. A great western, along with being a truly American art form, usually revolves around the issue of how we should organize and conduct ourselves as civilized beings.

    Man, I just watched that 100 movie lines on UTube, and I could add dozens more to that list.
    I think I must go rent about 30 to watch today.

    All good taste. So many good movies. But, I am with Leroniusmonkfish listing "Always". I am a sucker romantic and believe in the spirit world (and am a pilot).
    BTW "Always" is a remake of a 1943 movie called "A guy Named Joe" with Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunn, Van Johnson, Ward Bond, Lionel Barymore. Different scenario but very similar details including flying. Very fun to check out.
