Yes indeed plus of course the very final scene on the lake.

My recommendation: Skip Godfather 3. It really smears the otherwise brilliant work by Coppola.

I didn't mind Godfather 3. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. It suffered from having to match up to the first 2, which is a tall order. Could have been better, but whatever smile

I enjoyed the detail in that movie of a top vatican banker being hung under a London bridge. That's an event that really did happen, and that story was big for about a day before disappearing smile

In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

I don't, so I'll probably just have to watch the youtube videos one of these days.


Sorry I missed your need for a region 2 player. FWIW if your TV/Monitor is attached to a PC, you can use VLC Media Player.

VLC is what I've used for many, many years. We watch virtually everything on it (roughly 99 percent smile ).

It's entirely FREE. It "plays everything" (video, music, etc) -- regardless of region (in most cases).

VLC user for years, I just find it the best 'media' player out there that's free.


If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

Just watched "On Golden Pond" for the millionth time. Everything about that film is perfection.

The location, acting, music, production or totally unbeatable.

Ironside series (1967-1975) -- nominally 195 episodes. Raymond Burr as Robert Ironside.

Saw first 3 Episodes. Overall, it seems better than I expected. Still a long way to go to know for sure.

The sheriff's teenage daughter look familiar. I couldn't ID her until I saw her name in the end credits.

Scarlett Johanssen!

I didn't know she made movies that young. My first awareness of her was in the comic books movies, Captain America.

Check her out in "Lost in Translation". In retrospect it seems a bit creepy that she had a relationship with Bill Murray considering the age gap.

Just watched Anatomy Of A Fall. I really enjoyed it, though not the most cheerful of subjects.

We've watched a dozen "Ironsides" episodes. It keeps us entertained.

Ironside literally lives inside an "apartment" in the "Police Station" due to his confinement to a wheelchair (he was shot in the spine -- his legs don't work).

Living in the Police Station keeps him close to the action. But, due to his injury, he's not officially a Police Officer (he's retired on disability). So, he's a Consultant to the Department.

Ironside the man behaves NOTHING like Perry Mason (he's arrogant, gruff, demanding). But he's not stupid -- i.e. like all true geniuses, he's well aware he can be wrong and checks his work.

Like Perry, he solves the crimes. Like Perry, he does so with the help of his "team" and the Police Force.

It took me a couple more weeks but I did recently rewatch "Galaxy Quest" again and it holds up, great movie.

And I just finished this documentary on the movie and it's good too if you're a fan of the movie:

Unfortunately the actor who played Saris passed away a few years ago. He was perfectly cast for that movie.

I think Alan Rickman passing away was a bigger loss for the franchise.
