[racecar]

I am interested in inspirational movies and books of all kinds. Any offerings would be greatly appreciated...

I'll start by adding two of my favorite animated movies ~ Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.

Hi Racecar,if you have not already seen it,watch Gandi the movie truly inspirational.

How about the book "The Secret Doctrine" by Blavatsky.

I looked it up Mikal. I suppose if you like that sort of thing .......... ...... ..... .......

But it ain't got nuthin on Judge Roy Bean (the true story) .... The Movie


The story of Judge Roy Bean has been told and retold many times. Judge Bean lived through some of the most formative years in American history, and experienced some of the harshest terrain, and dealt with the hardest people in the frontier west.


Lily Langtry : [Lily notices her portrait behind the bar] Is that a bullet hole through my heart?
Tector Crites : Yes it is, ma'am. They was wild men in those days.
Lily Langtry : Who did it?
Tector Crites : Snake River Rufus Krile did that, I believe.
Lily Langtry : What became of him?
Tector Crites : Judge shot him. Dead. Dead, dead. Then he fined him for some other crimes. And then later we hanged him.
Lily Langtry : Most appropriate.

Many thanks to all!
I'll have to get netflix. Our local movie store has a limited selection. Same with our local library, weak.

I have seen The Blue Butterfly. I enjoyed it. Would have to watch it again to be able to discuss it well.

I prefer the older war movies and westerns to some of the modern depictions. The wild west has long held my interest. After I quit college I drove around a lot. Once, I went to San Antonio with a friend of mine. We found our way to the Hangin' Tree Saloon with the aid of our new friend...an elderly gentleman with ties to country music. Pretty neat. We explored the River walk and saw the Alamo. Years later I took my kids there (not the saloon). I've driven I-10 a few times. It's amazing how quickly the landscape changes...
