The Agony and the Ecstasy, about Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, with Charlton Heston was terrific.

I thought of a great one--Seargent York (sp?) with Gary Cooper. Truly excellent.

Raziel1 06-15-02 03:35 PM

I've never seen that one. What was it about:D

Holden Pike 06-15-02 03:42 PM

Sergeant York (1941) is the true story of Alvin York, a rural sharpshooter who became the greatest American field soldier war hero of WWI. The movie, like most biopics of the day of course, is pretty sugar-coated and corny despite being directed by the amazing Howard Hawks, but it is an interesting story just the same. Won Gary Cooper one of his two Best Actor Oscars (the other being High Noon). He won that year over Orson Welles as Charles Foster Kane.
