Awesome movie. I have some friends who are hardcore poker players. Almost any given time of day they could be playing two to five games online at the same time (there is a subculture of people that there could be a whole documentary about) and that movie is like their Bible.
Yes the actual name is, When a stranger calls... back in the day when you could call from one extension to to the other...
I've said it earlier...I and II.
Of all the books, in my brief 3 year stint teaching English, mockingbird was great to teach and my favorite lesson plan by far.
I agree. A Clockwork Orange
71. My first date with Lori. Off we went to see Clock Work Orange. Violence. I'm leaving says Lori. Fine, let's go, I'll catch it later. No. You stay. It's over. I leave. She's in the lobby. Sitting on the floor. knees up. Arms folded on knees. Face buried on Arms. A 1st date for the ages.
Mockingbird is my all time favorite book. Lee's writing is magical. Never have I read anyone that made dialogue so real, funny and interesting. My dad was an English teacher, retired in 1988. I work in Communications but am a lover of literature. I always say to my kids, a great writer makes you interested in a subject you have no relation to or interest in. I was born and raised in MA in the 80's. Have no relations or understanding of Alabama in 1930's and racism. I would never think to buy a historical book on this subject. When I read Mockingbird, it was like I was living in Alabama and those characters transported me to that era that I felt like I knew then personally and had strong emotions on the subject and found myself rooting for the underdog. That is genius.
You just can't help yourself.
