We don't have cable etc, so 99% of our tube watching time is library videos. I watch alot of travel videos, and they can be interesting or total duds.

I know there is a huge body of experience out there that can recommend high quality productions, most all far more proficent than I.

And someone mentioned "The Weeping Camel" (sic) recently which. to me, was a remarkable film, and JUST the sort of film I want to watch.

So I ask that the forum recommends some of their choices of material that is excellent and may very well be overlooked masterpices, as the weeping camel surely is, for my edification as well as others.

I'll Start:

1) The entire "Horatio Hornblower" series

2) "Bride and predjudice", Bollywood and so much fun

3) National Geo's "The Weeping Camel" (sic) utterly wonderful 4)Most "Lonely Planet" Travel videos

Not sure how obscure these are, but I guarantee the quality:

1) Six Degrees of Separation, with Stockard Channing, Donald Sutherland, and Will Smith as a gay con artist, of all things. Really surprising role for Smith, and he does well.

2) Glengarry, Glen Ross. Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, star in this film version of the stage play. Cameo by Alec Baldwin. If you like dialogue movies, this one's for you.

3) Das Boot, with Jurgen Prochnow and a bunch of other Germans. THE classic WWII submarine movie. Shows the futility of war and the boredom-to-terror cycle of submarine duty.

4) Nixon, with Anthony Hopkins. Shows an inside view of the poor doomed bastard.

5) Citizen Cohn, with James Woods. Woods stars as Roy Cohn, the closeted homosexual and red-baiter of the 1950s.

6) RKO 281, starring some people I can't remember right now. The behind-the-scenes view of the making of "Citizen Kane" and the life of Orson Welles. An HBO picture, it might be a little tricky to find.

7) 21 Grams, with Benecio Del Torres. Life just has a way of getting all fucked up.

8) The Professional, with that French guy, Gary Oldman, and Natalie Portman as jailbait.

9) Like Water for Chocolate (Spanish). Much better than I thought it would be.

10) The 25th Hour, with Edward Norton.

11) Rounders, with Edward Norton and Matt Damon.

12) Fight Club, with Edward Norton and Brad Pitt.

13) Come to think of it, I've just never seen a bad movie with Edward Norton in it.

14) The House of Sand and Fog, with Ben Kingsley. When it's a dog-eat-dog world, somebody's gotta lose. In this movie, it's everyone.

15) The Devil's Rejects, a Rob Zombie film. Surprisingly good, even though I don't really like horror films.

16) Shakes the Clown. Bobcat Goldthwait at his best.

17) Romper Stomper, starring a young Russell Crowe. Aussie movie about skinheads vs. Asians.

18) Autofocus, starring Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe. About the sex-filled life of TV's Colonel Hogan, Bob Crane, and his untimely death.

19) The Kid Stays in the Picture (documentary/autobiography). About the life of legendary Hollywood producer Robert Evans. Based on the book, and narrated by Evans.

20) Mr. Bean (TV series), starring Rowan Atkinson. British humor, I think he's on par with Chaplin for "silent" humor.

The Professional, with that French guy, Gary Oldman, and Natalie Portman as jailbait.

That was some movie. "No women, no children." Blam, blam.

There are apparently two versions, the tame one, and the uncut one, in which apparently the "cleaner" has an affair with Portman.
