CB's Question of The Day

[cabenson]

The wife is heading up to her family's this weekend leaving this poor gimpy girl to her own devices. Because I am unable to go see a movie, she is taking me to rent some DVD's this afternoon.

What movie(s) do you think I should rent?

You know Cinema Paradiso?!? Wow, not a lot of people know that movie 'round my parts...even though I'm one state west of you! *waves*

I have a full size movie poster of Cinema Paradiso in my living room. One of my favorite movies ever. Have you seen the original version, the newly released extended version, or both?

Both.
I cried during the fire scene.
I love the movie so much I went on a Ennio Morricone search. That man, genius.
Mmm, maybe I'll watch it again this weekend.

My girlfriend has never seen it, and I've been planning on subjecting her to it, but we haven't found a time yet where she was in the right mood for a movie with subtitles. But oh is that ever an amazing movie. I cried during the fire a little, but the worst for me is when he gets back home and watches the film reel from Alfredo? Wow, bring on the waterworks.
I was a teaching assistant in the Theatre & Film department at a local university for three years, so I saw the movie several times in work (it was in the class for basic film studies, two or three sections a semester) and it still never fails to make me cry.

Hhhmmm, all this talk about the movie makes me want to watch it again.
