Yes, I have this movie. There are about three movies out there that all relate to commandos blowing up Rommel's ammo dumps in North Africa and also, a pair of large guns like those in "The Guns of Navarrone."

I watched "Guns of Navarone" for the umpteenth time about a week ago!

I got a new movie today, an older classic, - "The Pride of The Yankees." It stars Gary Cooper as Lou Gherig, and the legendary 'Babe' Ruth as himself, with a couple other baseball players from the period, actually, the year after Lou Gherig's death, 1942.

I consider this a sports category movie, although it's also a biography for Lou Gherig who suffered a debilitating disease (amytrophic lateral scerosis) which was given his name, Lou Gherig's disease. The disease began to effect his performance on the baseball field in 1938 and got progressively worse, ending his life in 1941.

I just ordered a movie that I remember from some time back and was impressed with, - "Chocolat."

This is a very nice food drama related to chocolate recipes created by a woman who visits a rural French town with her daughter. She opens a chocolate shop in the town, but its people are steeped in religious tradition and present a difficult case for her business.

It's a great movie.

Brigette Bardot and Marilyn Monroe? I said favorites and there not among my favorites. But yes, they are hot.

You didn't specify that they had to be good actresses.

Unfortunately, Tina Turner was never a good actress.

Tina Turner? Do you see her as a sex symbol?

That list would be way too long for me to compile.

I received the movie "Chocolat" today and watched it. This is a wonderful food related movie.
