Nobody listened to me when I tried to spread the word... Now it's all the rage.
Must've been stuck in a quantum wormhole, eh?
Enjoy!
(I also recommend 'Riding Giants'...)
Aussie underground classic, late '70's, very hard to watch --something to offend EVERYONE in the first 20 minutes-- but, nevertheless, a great film: 'Bad Boy Bubbie'. You've just gotta make it through the entire film to appreciate it...

Best for fitful, frightened tears: Landing on the beach scene of �Saving Private Ryan�
I have to give a *nod to �Shawshank�, Kate, as it was the first movie I thought of when I saw the title of this thread � it is a frequently-watched film here.
Klaus, my wife and I have had 'Bleep' on our must-see list since you posted about it. But our social calendar hasn't seen fit to work it in yet.

Hey Buteos, I agree...Bill Murray is very cool. (What about Bob) I've never seen Razor's Edge. Isn't that a serious type of movie ?
One more movie I love.... Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" (with Alastair Sims the lead role 1954 I think....) I usually read the book a couple times of year. (It's pretty short...) It gives me hope for mankind. The book's message is timeless !!!!
