I did my homework and watched all three in one sitting. It's a great series and ties together nicely.

I thought the opening of the movie was promising (a astronaut who goes nuts on the launch pad) but it fizzled into a “you got to kidding me” premise. The scene in the bar was downright silly.KY Gentleman said:"The Ninth Configuration" by William Peter Blatty.
A superb psycho-drama with an excellent ending. Anyone else seen it?

Probably the greatest film epic ever made, and without a doubt the most awe-inspiring experience I've ever had in a theatre. It's probably just as well that it hasn't been given the DVD treatment, because it really is something you have to see on the big screen to catch the full sweep.
(Yeah, I know this is films that "no one" has ever seen, but me and Kevin Brownlow don't count as anyone, really..)

They worked well enough for me as Englisc subtitles.TheLimey said:Thanks for the recommendation. I really enjoyed this film, although I'd be interrested to know if the jokes work as well when translated as they do in french.

Widebrim said:Yes, I remember seeing [Abel Gance's Napoleon] in '83, too, either here in Los Angeles or Glendale. A full orchestra provided the music, and the film (at one point) was projected onto three screens (triptych) to produce a widescreen experience. Incredible film that needs to be seen in a theater.
BellyTank said:Yes, it's fantastic, I have it on DVD.
The restoration and colorization is great.
16 years in the making!
It's great to here from fans of Indian cinema here.
There are a few relatively recent Bollywood cross-over films which are great,
and everyone should see, for example, Monsoon Wedding, which you no doubt have seen. I actually saw it in Århus, at Paradis- I think I saw Lagaan and Ashoka there, too.
