To Kill a Mockingbird I own. It's certainly decent but I prefer the book. I've heard of Casablanca somewhere but have no idea of anything about it. All the others I've never heard of. When I get time I foresee I shall be busy! PS. Does LotR make evil cool? As in desirable? Sauron wanted to...

I liked him in Hook, Mrs Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Patch Adams, and Aladdin (although this last I have to be in the right mood for; there's only so much Genie I can take). If I hadn't seen Patch Adams so often that I can practically quote it verbatim, that would be my favourite one... but...

Thanks USCGrad90 and autumnleaf. Les Miserables is actually on my list, but I had problems with the silly formatting in my post and it's very easy to read over. Chariots of Fire I have heard of but never seen. I will definitely give it a try. LotR trilogy - yes, I know them, and I love...

I am hunting for well-told films that have Christian themes but don't shove them down your throat. Therefore, I can't find what I want in the Christian film market (because shoving them down your throat is what they do best), so I'm looking elsewhere. For the purposes of this thread, if it’s...

What does a bear have to do with anything? :confused: By the way, nice Articuno avatar!

I'm an ISTJ (test done a few years back now) and an Aspie. The Sensing part is only slightly expressed, so for all I know it could have just been my mood and maybe it's really a N, but Introverted, Thinking and Judging... very much expressed. I did it again just now, though, and it was...

Greetings! I love some works by all three. Favourites by each: The Chronicles of Narnia (closely followed by Out of the Silent Planet but NOT its two sequels), Smith of Wooton Major (closely followed by Leaf by Niggle), The Wise Woman (closely followed by the two Curdie books). Which are your...

Changed my mind. It looks like a dreadful film.

I have the first two seasons of BBC Sherlock (not sure if I want the third; it got very strange...) and some 'Allo 'Allo!

I tend to go through and cull my possessions about once a year. This includes books. In fact, it's particularly books, given that my collection sprawls over three bookshelves. I always keep books I like (why on earth would I get rid of them?) - this is a LOT of books. I keep books that I only...

I agree, jw203. Most fanfiction is badly-written. But then again, one could say the same thing of quite a few books. It certainly doesn't mean that there are no good ones! If I find a fanfic author who can write, I tend to at least look at their recommendations, because often those will also be...

I'm currently reading "The King in the Window" by Adam Gopnik. It's a children's fantasy that touches on Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" (among other things) and - for ONCE in a children's fantasy - it's original enough that until about fifty pages ago I had no idea where it was...

I really like the fourth one, Albinomuffin!

I love Spirited Away. I saw it for the first time on TV in German, but I couldn't easily find a DVD with the original Japanese, an English dub, and a German dub, so I've just got it in Japanese and English. Haku is my favourite character - dragon fan here, and besides he's rather a cunning...

I voted fantasy. There have been a few sci-fi stories I've liked, but not many. Fantasy, on the other hand, has probably been my favourite genre since I began reading... Of course, the few sci-fi stories I've liked have been better than the crap fantasy out there (and believe me there is a lot...

Hello Conductor and RedHogRider. I'm an aspie too. Even if I seem to be a little late in finding this particular thread... welcome to CF! I hope you find it really good.

Caught the drinking glasses and used them as musical instruments by filling them all to different heights with water. Throwing a sewing machine.

This is definitely a cool letter (and the reason I'm posting a message is so that I can find it again when I want it).

I think so, no problem, but I'll give you an example of what I mean. If you don't agree with me that this book fits your parameters... well, see further down in the post. Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn has been in print for 45 years straight - no vampires, werewolves, zombies, or erotica. It's...
