Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame II

I like CR's suggestion, but if we wanted to go for an all-foreign-language edition I would be cool with that too. I only had one foreign-language film picked for me this time around.

All Quiet on the Western Front is the one book I would recommend to everyone to read. The film version is pretty darn good.

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame II

It's a film I like a lot, for pretty much all the reasons you articulated in your review, and I thought you might appreciate it. Pretty sure it was my number one pick for the 60s list.

Miller's Crossing was my pick for you Miss Vicky. I'm sorry you didn't like it more, but at least you didn't hate it!
